No title was more eloquent than that. Last album by Area with the majestic Demetrio on vocals, before a fulminant leukemia him back to Olympus where he had fallen among us mere mortals to show us the way. After the success of previous work, concerts around the world, the political activism and music, the group returns one last time in the recording studio for his swansong, although the appeal lacks both the guitarist Paolo Tofaniand the the deus ex machina Gianni Sassi, in effect their sixth member.
The album opens with a violent attack of "Il Bandito Del Deserto". Inspired by a Qasida (poem) of the Arab poet Shanfara, the song takes us immediately in a distant, magical, thanks to fretless bass played by Tavolazzi and keyboards played by Fariselli, on which stands the vigorous drumming of Capiozzo. Stratos, with wild vocals and references worthy of a muezzin. A great opening track worthy of previous work. It follows "Interno Con Figure E Luci", purely instrumental music and fusion like Weather Report, with beautiful vocals almost childlike. "Return To Vorkuta" is perhaps the best song. There is talk of gulag, workers, forced labor and about Siberia. The beautiful intro with synth and vocals with effects really gives the idea of a race in the Siberian night, until the entry of the bass that makes more alienation in place.
"Hommage A Violette Nozieres" recalls the theme of madness. The text is inspired by a passage from André Breton, despite being cited Violette Nozieres, author of a crime in the early 30s of the twentieth century that shook public opinion in Paris.
"Ici Dance On!" It refers to a sign that was found on the debris of the Bastille on the day after its taking. After the battle "here we dance" must have thought some French citizen, ergo we dance through bass grooves and synth award-winning company Tavolazzi & Fariselli. Highly cultured quotes are found in the acrostic In Memory Of Laius: The text is taken from "On The Theory Of Symbolism" by Ernest Jones and "Function And Field Of The Word Of Language" by Jacques Lacan. Other than young music for young people! Here it comes to Freud, Jung, Laius, Oedipus (of which his father was Laius, for those who do not remember) and so on and so forth.
The drum opens "FFF" witch is a Jazz-Fusion and hard bop track. Atmospheres almost spy-story open "Vodka Cola". Tavolazzi sounds like Dick Dale, then move on to a more danceable bass line leaving the field to liquid synth and many tempo changes. Here it was thought that Russia and America were ready to carve up the world, ignoring the China ... blissful innocence! The album ends here, the history of the area ends here, although there will be the time of the instrumental "Tic & Tac" that has nothing to do with the old prog debut being just a good album of fusion. It remains only the regret of having lost Stratos in his full artistic maturity.
