Ragazzi, ma ve la ricordate la mattina di Natale quando si era bambini?! Quel risveglio ansioso, quell’attesa fiduciosa mista alla paura che i nostri desideri potessero non essere esauditi. La magia e il mistero irrompevano nelle nostre vite; la sensazione che ci fosse una realtà diversa, un mondo sconosciuto e fatato, era tangibile e si manifestava in tutta la sua potenza proprio quel giorno. Ricordo che scendendo le scale, passo dopo passo, il cuore batteva sempre più forte; mi gustavo, gradino dopo gradino, quell’emozione vivida e stordente che solo a quell’età si può avere. Seguitemi, scendete con me quelle scale, non ve ne pentirete. Avanti, ancora un ultimo passo e potremo già intravedere i doni; un bel respiro profondo e…

Tastiere zuccherose e dolciastre che impiastrano i pezzi!

Marasma dance-epilettico che si impenna come il suono di artificiali flipper!

Peluche soffici e multicolori dalla voce inoffensiva!

Gelide tessere synth con cui potremo comporre mirabolanti puzzle 3d!

L’Albero di Natale! carico di smaltati arrangiamenti elettronici!

Chitarrine ritmiche che sfrecciano veloci come mini 4wd rosse fiammanti!

Smerigliate drum-machine che non danno tregua, come i numeri snocciolati alla tombola!

Melodie frizzanti come spumante appena versato!

Sintetiche armonie che hanno l’odore del prato del Subbuteo!

Produzione elaborata e calorica, come gonfi panettoni innaffiati da denso e cremoso mascarpone!

Il suono del basso in sottofondo! quel tocco di oscurità portato da Hordak e Skeletor!

E poi balli! Balli e fanfare scoppiettanti come i ceppi che ardono nel camino! Ballare, ballare, ballare a perdifiato! Come aveva ragione Pina Bausch: “Dance, dance, otherwise we are lost!”.

Quando la leggerezza del pop è meravigliosamente sostenibile.

01   Age of Consent (05:16)

Won't you please let me go?
These words lie inside they hurt me so
And I'm not the kind that likes to tell you
Just what I want to do
I'm not the kind that needs to tell you
Just what you want me to

I saw you this morning
I thought that you might like to know
I received your message in full a few days ago
I understood every word that it said
And now that I've actually heard it
You're going to regret

And I'm not the kind that likes to tell you
Just what you want me to
You're not the kind that needs to tell me
About the birds and the bees

Do you find this happens all the time?
Crucial point one day becomes a crime
And I'm not the kind that likes to tell you
Just what I want to do
And I'm not the kind that needs to tell you

I've lost you
I've lost you
I've lost you
I've lost you
I've lost you

I've lost you
I've lost you
I've lost you
I've lost you
I've lost you

I've lost you
I've lost you
I've lost you
I've lost you
I've lost you

02   We All Stand (05:14)

03   The Village (04:36)

When a new life turns towards you
And the night becomes a bay
We shall remain forever
Everyone who meets his way
Oh, our love is like the flowers
The rain and the sea and the hours
Oh, our love is like the flowers
The rain and the sea and the hours

When the rain falls to the sea
They'll be waiting for you and for me
And the sky reflects our image
Trying to sleep right through our lives

Oh, our love is like the earth
The sun and the trees and the birth
Oh, our love is like the earth
The sun and the trees and the birth

I am still here two days later
Same place, same time
And I'm stuck here two years too long
Same place, the wrong time

Oh, our love is like the flowers
The rain and the sea and the hours
Oh, our love is like the flowers
The sun and the sea and the hours

Their love died three years ago

05   Your Silent Face (06:00)

A thought that never changes
Remains a stupid lie
It's never been quite the same
No hearing or breathing
No movement, no color
Just silence
Rise and fall of shame
A search that shall remain
We asked you what you'd seen
You said you didn't care

Sound formed in a vacuum
May seem a waste of time
It's always been just the same
No hearing or breathing
No movement, no lyrics
Just nothing
A sign that leads the way
The path we can not take
You've caught me at a bad time
So, why don't you piss off?

06   Ultraviolence (04:52)

Who saw those dark eyes?
Who saw those dark eyes?
Tears come by
Deep within
Burn my skin
All those years gone by
In the heat of the night
All those years gone by

Who felt those cold hands?
Who felt those cold hands
Touch my skin
Deep within
Burn my soul?
Fell to the ground where I was found
All those years ago
All those tears ago
All those years ago

Everybody makes mistakes
Everybody makes mistakes
Even me
Just be free
This is a place where in the end
It happens in our world within
Time to go
Time to go

08   Leave Me Alone (04:38)

On a thousand islands in the sea
I see a thousand people just like me
A hundred unions in the snow
I watch them walking, falling in a row
We live always underground
It's going to be so quiet in here tonight
A thousand islands in the sea
It's a shame

And a hundred years ago
A sailor trod this ground I stood upon
Take me away everyon when it looks down

From my head to my toes
From the words in the book
I see a vision that would bring me luck
From my head to my toes
Through my teeth, through my nose
You get these words wrong
You get these words wrong
Every time
You get these words wrong
I just smile

But from my head to my toes
From my knees to my eyes
Every time I watch the sky
For these last few days leave me alone
But for these last few days leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone

 Le melodie in un decimo di secondo sprizzano subito al cervello, innescando un fermento nel corpo, poco controllabile.

 Album illibato, incarnato, geniale, perfetto, quindi il primo esperimento sostanzialmente è riuscito!
