1) Area international POPular group, most commonly known as Area, is an Italian avant-prog and jazz fusion band formed in the end of 1972. They are known for being one of the most important and astonishing combos in their genre of all times. They have been compared to Gentle Giant for the extreme complexity combined with an elegant and debonair use of polyrhythms; but they had a stronger attitude in managing middle east musical structures and elements, from odd rhythms to the use of tone fourths. And any of these elements are always jointed by a free-jazz attitude and even electronics.
They were left-wing fine intellectuals and coupled their very high level compositions with poetical and elegant lyrics, criticizing conservative model with metaphors and rhetorical figures, avoiding gross and bold attacks such as left-wing punks usually did; or joking about philosophical statements, again with a lucid and brilliant style.
First asset was: Demetrio Stratos (singer and lyricist), Giulio Capiozzo (drums and percussions), Patrick Djivas (bass, later leaved for Premiata Forneria Marconi and was substituted by Ares Tavolazzi) Eddie Busnello (saxophone, flutes), Johnny Lambizzi (guitar, later was substituted by Paolo Tofani), Leandro Gaetano (piano).

The lyrics of the song Arbeit macht frei by Area discuss the dark themes of the concentration camps during the Holocaust. The phrase "Arbeit macht frei" translates to "work sets you free" and was the slogan famously placed above the entrance gates of many concentration camps. The opening line, "In your miseries, you will recognize the meaning of Arbeit macht frei," suggests that the singer has been subject to the harsh conditions of the concentration camp and has come to understand the ironic meaning of the phrase. Rather than being a path to freedom, Arbeit or work has instead been the method of oppression and enslavement for those encamped.
The next verse talks about the mundane routine of work in the camp, the "daily humility" that is forced upon the prisoners by the Nazi regime. The line "you will always be pushed towards Arbeit macht frei" shows the inescapability of the situation, as the prisoners are forced to work until death to serve the Nazi war machine. However, the final line of the verse, "awareness, more and more each time, will let you see what Arbeit macht frei truly is," suggests that the prisoners are not blind to their captivity and have a growing sense of defiance and rebellion towards their captors.
The final verse pulls together the themes of the entire song, emphasizing the importance of recognizing and resisting the oppression of the Nazis. The idea of being aware and resisting are highlighted by the line "you will see what Arbeit macht frei truly is." The song serves as a reminder of the horrors of the Holocaust and encourages people to stand up against oppression and injustice in all its forms.

Musica poliritmica, polimorfa, carica emotivamente che si raggruma e si allarga in fugaci lirismi e accenti epici. Velluto e acciaio. Un capolavoro

Comunque resta sempre un ottimo disco anche nell'inesorabile giudizio del tempo.

I own the original Cramps LP with the gun. I was first made aware of this band in 1993 and glad I did although I didn't buy their albums until years later. This debut is nothing less than amazing and one of my all-time favorites!
