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).

Scum
Area Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
per bene che ci vada,
la vita è una noia sconfinata.
In questa società, nulla,
assolutamente nulla riguarda le donne.
Dunque a tutte le donne che non hanno paura
né delle emozioni sconvolgenti
non rimane che rovesciare il governo,
eliminare il sistema monetario,
istituire l'automazione completa
e distruggere il sesso
maschile.
The lyrics of “Scum” by Area are highly political in nature and are a commentary on the societal norms and structures prevalent in modern society. The opening lyrics, “In questa società, per bene che ci vada, la vita è una noia sconfinata,” translate to “In this society, no matter how well it goes, life is an endless boredom.” This line encapsulates the band's criticism of the capitalist system and its ability to oppress individuals to the point of mundanity.
The next line, “In this society, nothing, absolutely nothing concerns women,” highlights the patriarchal nature of capitalism, where women are often marginalized and their voices go unheard. The following lines are a call to action for women who are not afraid of taking responsibility or experiencing intense emotions. They are encouraged to overthrow the government, eliminate the monetary system, establish complete automation, and destroy male sexuality - this line being symbolic of the macho society that dominant the world.
In conclusion, “Scum” is a political anthem that critiques not only the capitalist system but the patriarchal hierarchy that it promotes. The lyrics encourage women to not be afraid of what are often viewed as dangerous or radical ideas and to take action against the systems that oppress them.

Grande musica, grande bellezza questa è l’universalità dei linguaggi, l’universalità dell’arte che eleva lo spirito e ci rende la vita degna di essere vissuta . Grazie a Demetrio Stratos grazie agli Area, grazie alle parole di Valerie Solanas e al coraggio dell’arte. Maria

Demetrio Stratos confessò in un' intervista che uno dei suoi punti di riferimento era Ettore Petrolini. (Per inquadrare meglio il suo lavoro). L' arte non può essere a tutti i costi seriosa. Questo brano ne è la prova!
