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).

Le labbra del tempo
Area Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
sale la rabbia sorda
che mi hai risvegliato tu
un mondo che non ho
L'uomo che ha perso
la sua animalità
nel buio bianco
Solo chi è nudo
riesce a capire
la tua forza muta
che comunica realtà
Facce sporche di paura
si nascondono nel buio
luci spente sugli altari
di una stupida umiltà
gesti, urla, rabbia, (gemiti),
(coiti), (vivere),
senza nulla dire
senza nulla fare
è un diritto che io ho....io ho.
The song "Le labbra del tempo" by the Italian progressive rock band Area is a powerful statement on the human condition, exploring themes of anger, loss, and human nature. The opening lines, "Dentro di me, sale la rabbia sorda, che mi hai risvegliato tu, un mondo che non ho," translate to "Inside of me, a deaf anger rises, that you have awakened, a world that I don't have." The song speaks of the frustration of being awakened to a reality that one didn't know existed before, a reality that is filled with anger and pain.
The lyrics suggest that humans have lost their primal, animal nature in pursuit of an "idiot idealism" that has left us feeling lost and powerless. The line "Solo chi è nudo riesce a capire la tua forza muta che comunica realtà" ("only he who is naked can understand your silent strength that communicates reality") speaks to the idea that we must strip ourselves of the trappings of our modern society in order to truly understand the world around us.
Throughout the song, the lyrics suggest a world full of fear, where people hide in the darkness and bow down to false ideals while screaming and raging impotently. The songwriter suggests that this is a world in which they have the right to do nothing, a world in which they are lost and unsure of their place.
This powerful song speaks to the frustration that many people feel with the modern world and its emptiness, urging us to strip ourselves of false ideals and return to a more primal understanding of the world around us.

Sull' "io ho!" di Stratos i brividi lungo la schiena galoppano!
Luciano Catarin
Quest album dovrebbe essere fatto ascoltare in tutti i conservatori e le varie scuole di musica di tutta Italia

1) E' paradossale! Ma chi potrebbe oggi cantare con questo stile? La verità è che prima ancora di una tecnica vocale, qui ci troviamo di fronte ad una apertura mentale! Questo è il senso più profondo del concetto di sperimentazione-innovazione. Senza la tecnica di riproduzione audio che si sviluppa e afferma commercialmente dal dopoguerra, questa idea di far musica non potrebbe sussistere:
Renè Mirì - Canto Armonico
capolavoro totale...
massimo lombardi
Anche io ho i brividi in quel punto del pezzo....non era umano Stratos!
nua plume
Adoro questo pezzo; )... strepitoso;)

Un monumento a Giulio per favore, fategli un monumento, a Cesenatico o ovunque. Giulio per me è stato uno dei cinque batteristi più grandi di ogni tempo.
