it's been used by 50 years as the jingle for "tutto il calcio minuto per minuto" (all the football, minute by minute) a relay radio broadcast from all the serie A pitches. When I was a kid there was no TV, and all the sunday I used a small crappy radio to hear the live radio report of the matches.
Here's a nice montage between the radio feed and the TV images from a late 70's italian sunday
,a soundtrack by nico fidenco who had a romantic pop hit in the 60s and in that period wrote soundtracks for cartoons like cyborg 009. Porno holocaust is a totally delirant movie made with 4 lire of the time. Joe d amato shot a bunch of movies in santo domingo at the same time using the same cast with a scrrenplay written during the dubbing phase
D amato was somehow a genius in his own way. A great director of photography of the golden age of italian cinema (late 50s till 70s) who made a fortune in porno. He also made some horror ultra splatter movies and porno holocaust (with the twin the erotic nights of the living dead) was a crazy genre mix.
He also shoot the ultra gore buio omega which featured a supe soundtrack by goblin
Some more japanese melodic fusion which would fit perfectly in a vintage scene with amber lyn and tracey adams.
Remamrkable the guitar solo at the en by the hapanese steve lukather
The proggiest tune from this KC album, which is about to deunderrate itself, as people discover how incredibly good it really is.
I d say that island showed the decline of kc concept. In this album it is really difficult to find something memorqbl. Probably the most memorable song is the catchy forme tera lady, the rest has nit reall a clear direction. Also this song tends to copy the canterbury jazz fusion a la soft machine of 5th.
"Islands" was a major departure from the first three, and is the "odd-one-out", but it displayed a mellowness and artistic restraint that was only briefly present in the previous albums. An entire dimension to their art is still lost, if you cannot appreciate the lyrical side. In that sense, it's exactly like the other three. I don't find "Islands" sentimental, or "weak", in any way. It's still a masterpiece to me. An atmospheric one, and a concept album of cosmic proportions. Perhaps "Ladies of the Road" should not have been on there, as its raunchiness clashes with the dreamily poetic innocence of the rest of the songs, even "The Letters", which is a rather gruesome tale. Or maybe it was deliberate, as a contrast, a sort of coda, which suggested that they were about to embark on new musical journeys, and as it turned out, they most certainly did. And Boz Burrell had the most amazing English intonation and pronunciation of all KC singers. I'm not quite sure, but I think "Islands" was the first time Sinfield made a direct literary reference (Homer's Odyssey, "Circe, still her perfume lingers, still the spell" - Formentera Lady).
"Islands" is probably the last impersonal album KC could do, with Sinfield. They lost their cosmic ties, and turned introspective, after that. But still did wonderful things.
I'm a major fan of Pete Sinfield's, that much I'll readily admit. But I am also amazed by Fripp. Today, they would probably not even recognize each other on the street.
Oh, and BTW, if I survive watching Porno Holocaust, can I apply to the Italian government for compensation?
I think not even if you should be allowed. They call them exploitation movies for nothing the carebeans by damato have no value as movie but do their "job" as porn. Indeed above average.
That's no excuse, and you know. But energy does not go away, it as you say merely transforms into other types of energy. In that sense, we are in total agreement, signore.
