Side B
- "Messaggio" – The hit single. Driven by a motorik drum machine and Battiato’s signature backing vocals. In high-res lossless, the stereo separation is revelatory. The synth pads swirl in the left channel while the rhythmic arpeggios march on the right.
- "L’Ombra Scomparsa" – The album’s emotional core. The dynamic range in the FLAC file allows the listener to experience the full weight of the piano attacks and the fragile decay of Alice’s voice.
Part 5: The Legacy of Azimut – Why You Should Listen Today
Beyond the technical specs, Azimut remains a hauntingly beautiful album that predates and predicts much of dream pop, trip-hop, and ambient pop. Artists like Goldfrapp, Björk, and Julia Holter owe a debt to Alice’s fearless blend of electronic textures and classical vocals. Alice - Azimut -1982 Pop- -Flac 16-44-
Released in November 1982 by EMI Music, Azimut stands as a pivotal moment in the career of Italian singer-songwriter Alice (born Carla Bissi). Following the massive success of her 1981 Sanremo-winning hit "Per Elisa," Azimut solidified her transition from a traditional vocalist to a sophisticated, experimental artist of the Italian New Wave. The Collaboration with Franco Battiato Alice's 1982 album stands as a pivotal moment
- File Size: A typical 3–4 minute track from Azimut in FLAC 16/44 should be between 25MB and 35MB. If it is smaller (15MB), it is likely a fake.
- Spectrogram Analysis: Use software like Spek. A true 44.1kHz FLAC will show frequency content sharply cutting off at 22.05kHz. If you see a cut at 16kHz or 20kHz, it is an MP3 disguised as FLAC.
- The 1982 CD Release: The original 1982 Japanese pressing of Azimut (EMI/Toshiba) is highly sought after. A proper FLAC rip of that specific disc is the gold standard.
, utilizing a mix of "dated" but charming vintage synth sounds and energetic, uplifting vocal performances. 📈 Reception Critical Acclaim: "Messaggio" – The hit single

I’m pretty much in agreement… and the cartoon versions are simply a bit of lovely nostalgia… my kids were in grade school when I heard them singing while on our swing-set, “Where there’s a whip, there’s a way!” AND “Frodo of the Nine Fingers - and the ring of DOOOOM!” In their little kid fake baritone voices! Good memories!
I liked the two towers over the return of the king. Great list though!!
