Floppy Disk

by Carlo Barbagallo

1.
Paper Mirror 02:56
It's no use to make all this known My letter L is not your letter L No chance to live and share What am I thinking to do? I'm just the paper Just the mirror It’s all out of me! To fix this moment is useless 'cause I am out of me too!
2.
Yolkrise 03:24
Light sky Blue walls The red yolk The smell of your lips Of your hair in my pillow The sheets perspiring your sweat Embracing the horizon Stylized autumn trees And I'm holding to your flanks Do you know when you feel the friction of the string with the bow? Wood Copper Sweet taste of rust on my fingers Hand-writings on paper are paintings, pictures Little fixed simplicities And every storm binds us Incomprehensions are lightly touching our hands Hushes Cries Clashes Life The yolk rise from the ocean Our sun, our love The yolk rise from the ocean Our star, our love
3.
The Motion 03:49
Call this respect But it’s pain neglect Don’t worry babe won’t be on our own! A black summer day And it will turn blood into a sea full of ice man Ready? It is a new life again! Can we step out from the notion Lies inside your mind are set in motion And those lies become real! Move on man, move on There won’t be another place, never It’s all here and dying forever
4.
Spectacle 04:23
I'm the spectacle behind the mirror And that’s the only way i know to burn
5.
White light in a pale purple sky My fingers on your womb I'm touching lightly the keys of the piano And I'm going down to the bottom

7.
Cold Shiver 03:05
Abandoned All insinuated thoughts A thrilling body of pleasure Not a cold shiver Or a night trouble With the eyes closed To not be me In a place not mine Am I always the same?
8.
Oh Carol! 02:43
Oh Carol! What's the matter?
9.
Friday 03:39
I go out to the shining light I go outside to realize I go outside to lie to myself That I'm not bored Not without will That yesterday wasn't useless And tomorrow will be great I'll go out just waiting for you It’s the nearest place to you At the edge of town Where you’ll pick up my life Please forget friday night 'cause today is wednesday Please forget friday night 'cause today is the fifth day 'Cause I need to leave you the guilt 'Cause I'm here, not in L.A.

about

"Floppy disks are our vintage, that's a fact. Soon cds will follow too. Before this comes true, grab Carlo Barbagallo's «Floppy Disk", a very talented sicilian musician who is also a member of Albanopower and Suzanne'Silver. If you're sick of the derailed application of the concept of 'indie', have a listen to his 11 tracks, to be played as if they were two sides of a vinyl. You're going to find various analogies with both the way and the ethics stemmed from 70's record production added to a low-fi necessity but without the blurred mind of those who deny the past and keep from knowing what has happened afterwards. Rarely enough, «Floppy Disk" leaves an ultimate image in your mind, hitting the ground around that place psychologists call 'ocean feeling', that is the unborn reactions to the outer stimulus they perceive when they are still in the womb. Psycho-Floydish attitude becomes a natural partner to the latest Beatles, as well as a conservation of the american classics (Neil Young, country, blues, west coast rock radios) added to an eye for 90's disciples like Layne Staley, Shawn Smith and Greg Dulli; alienated impros descend smoothly from the glam era written by Brian Eno, Bowie and King Crimson. Here is an unaware hold on to the present Dr. Dog and the already regretted Beta Band, vocal deviations à la Damon Albarn's soundtracks and an osmotic liaison with Albanopower (another dissociated utopia, if you look at our times) whose lemon tree field has witnessed the birth of the vocal lines. In translucency you see Barbagallo, a new figure who's intended to populate like elves do our oneiric, narc-hypnotic, maieutic dimension of our musical reception: a cubic super8 kaleidoscope yellow blurred patina from which you cannot escape in first place, then you don't even want to, right when butterflies begin to prevail."
ENVER

"There is no doubt about the successful nature of this disk, - and it proves how Barbagallo is a unique Artist in Italy, an all-round musician (from guitar to drums, piano, organ, banjo, strings, samples, tricche tracche) besides that an inspired song-writer: His Music is like a perfect blend of The Beatles and Zappa's pop psychedelic sung by Mike Patton - but these are just generic coordinates for the reader. His kaleidoscopic tunes are twirling, eclectic, - i.e. «Paper Mirror», - hippie and romantic, - or «Yolkrise», maybe the more radio-friendly act among the 11 tracks. Then, «Cold Shiver», - a real opus, - it explores the altered states of fast and slow adrenaline injections, with unexpected angle shots. The album also features some fugue-like space trips - the sense of oneiric disorientation with «Motion Reprise» - and more thoughtful whispered digressions such as «Oh Carol!», the carillon and alien frequencies of «French Road», - as well the pastoral journey of «Little Island, that is over 6 minutes of chatartic rise, begun among the ears of wheat, enwrapping the listener into a tangible multicolour imaginary."
