2008-06-03 16:07:19 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
...Merchant (overtly a pusher) breaks in imposing the bunch to be happier and happier by using his stuff: this is the theme of Il Venditore di Felicità, a very good tune with a very expressive and theatrical Renato Zero on a funky background. Euridice disappears, yielding the Happiness Merchant's proposals, and Orfeo set on a trip to find again...

...merchant, comes - won a grammy award for best musical album for children, and he describes his latest album, nueva york! (okay, he's maybe over-fond of exclamation points), as "a pro-immigration cd," which is pretty rad in our opinion the traditional scottish song "loch lomond" doesn't celebrate multiculturalism as much as mourn a lost love,...
