BALLO DELLE CASTAGNE - 108
10" vinyl 45rpm - HR!SPQR XVII

108 are the evil
passions that beset us and  we must
battle to become Buddha. In Japan, a bell ring 108 times in order to finish the
old and welcome the new year. Each stroke is one of 108 earthly temptations a
person must overcome. 108 are the techniques of karate and 108 are also the
parts of the Buddhist rosary (Japa Mala). This number is often used in the
Buddhist religion as well as in Hinduism and its considered sacred to many
peoples in the East. The Hindu Kshatriya Dhangars have 108 clans divided into
solar and lunar dynasties. We were fascinated by these
astral and religious coincidences and 108 from Ballo delle Castagne is only one
a chapter devoted to human evil in all its manifestations. In this context, we
must frame the band as a tribute to the Biglietto per L inferno or 70 years of
Franco Battiato La Convention / Paranoia. Even today many of these remain
unknown and unacknowledged masterpieces to the Italian public as well as their
authors. We therefore recall a time full of hopes and dreams for millions of
men and women, where the utopia of a better world went slowly vanished at the
end of the 60ies... As the lotus
grows in mud without showing any traces that might betray its origins, its
leaves and its stem, while floating in water not wet, so it `s also the wise
man who lives in the world, but is not of the world...
