1 stars Third "Banco" nightmare in a row for a prog reviewer. For sure, the eighties were not "Banco" 's ones to say the least.

This album features the same "great" electro-pop sounds but is also more syrupous ballad oriented. Just listen to the "wonderful" trio : "Moby Dick", "Pioverà" and the absolutely ridiculous "Allons Enfants" partially sung in French and which two initial words are the start of the national French anthem "La Marseillaise".

If ever a contest needs to be organized (any volunteer) to define which was their poorest output during this period it will be very difficult to determine which one will win the gold medal. "Urgentissimo", "Buone Notizie", "Banco 83" ? Or maybe the following one "...E Via" ? Who knows ? For the latter one, I will post my review first and then decide. But it will be a tough match, for sure.

In my review of their previous album, I was desperately looking for a good track. I was able to find two half ones. The exercise is even more difficult with this album. Actually, there isn't one. Or even a half one.

There is no need to write a thousand words about this release. It is totally useless. An insult to this good band (but THEY released it). Shame on you "Banco" for having gone so low.

Is there any more need to justify the rating for this "work" ?
