The Bloody Beetroots





















Romborama
(Universal)
E finally arrived. After miles of touring around the world, in decibels burned bodies and ears of millions of young clubbers and gallons of sweat under those masks superhero Rifo bad here that Bob brings a gift to contemporary music, his opus maximus. Since the high-sounding title and roaring, deafening and cumbersome. It must be said, "Romborama", like it or not like the Bloody Beetroots, is an important disc. Why is the low and low distortion of Bassano del Grappa of that "punk with an attitude" that is Bob Rifo, fine mind that for years and then whisk in wine clubs and attached to the computer to break something. The wall of indifference towards the international Italian music, the wall of the Italo Disco and cult prog as unique musical forms "quality" of our country universally recognized, the wall of silence Information approved to our local quality music. Because there's more and he and Tommy with their incessant agitation war done in every club in the world have demonstrated. And now I'm here with this manifesto, a behemoth of 21 tracks combining all the imaginary sound of "beets bleeding." There are baroquisms classic between Rondo Veneziano and Giorgio Moroder ("Have Mercy On Us" with the next big thing Cécile), there are synths zarri and sizzling, and those beats iperpompati (in "It's Better to DJ On 2 Turntables" or " Warp 1.9 (feat. Steve Aoki) "), there are distortions that are so hard punk (in" Talkin 'In My Sleep (feat. Lisa Kekaula) "or the title track itself with guest Leather or part of The Locust), there is the legacy of rap electro Baambaata Afrika (as represented by the International Cool Kids in "Awesome", the Italian version of Marracash in "How The '), there are also "dance" in which electronic beats and melody melt overflows (in "Second Streets Have No Name (feat. Bow Beta) 'or' Little Stars (feat. Vicarious Bliss)"). There is all to show that after the Justice, willy-nilly, is "Romborama" with all the pros and cons of the case. Let's just say that the main obstacle to deal with a work like this is that it is extreme at all costs. An aura of heaviness hovers threateningly. It is difficult to get to the bottom, even if the pearls are in the process. It is difficult to accept him as an lp to listen to from beginning to end. But in general, all records of this type have shown this weakness, so far. By Justice, to Digitalism, Boys Noize until: I defy anyone to resist until the last minute of each of these discs. "Romborama" does not make a difference in this regard. This does not detract, however, its importance and conceptual music.
