Born from an idea of Paolo Favati (member of Pankow and producer) and some friends L'INSOLITA COMPILATION is a compilation focused more on rock with electronic arrangements than its contrary. The CD opens with Cpt. Nice with "Linea di Venere", a track that remember me a lot the early Franco Battiato. Blume's "Piove piano" is a sensual ballad with female vocals. "My name is Luca" by Gianni Maroccolo (ex member of Litfiba, CSI and now with PGR and Marlene Kunz) is a sort of ambient track based treated guitar (finally something we deal with). "Forbidden flowers" is a track released under the name Paolo Favati and Paolo (well know king of the quare wave) creates a blend of alternative rock and industrial pop. He's well known for his use of analog square waves and here he uses them to give energy to a good song (on his website you can find also the video of this track). "Ongii" is a Paolo Favati's remix of a CSI song and it's cool to see how Paolo is good at giving an electronic treatment to almost every kind of music. Ig track, "La culla" is a good geeky ballad with electro sounds. A.M. Boys with their "Nouvelle cousine" give their electro recipe for a futuristic chef. Pt-r's "Balance to death" surprised me with its arrangement made of breaths, distorted synths and catchy rhythms. Dreamy and distorted at the same time. The second Cpt. Nice track is a silly electronic ballad titled "Electronic dancer". Nice... The second A.M. Boys track "Sala d'attesa" bring to the attention of the audience an experimental electro track really particular where the declaiming voice duets with analog sounds and ambient pads. Pt-r's "Ipnotism" is a sort of blend of industrial e.b.m. and ambient with improvised vocalisation. Like the other track: really particular. Blume's "Ninna nanna alla regina" is another ballad with electro arrangements and acustic guitars and a rock second part. Interesting but not enough catchy for me. The last song is played by some band members of all the bands involved in this release and it's an electro experimental version of the "Indagine su un cittadino al di sopra di ogni sospetto" soundtrack, originally composed by Ennio Morricone.
