Negative Positive
Title: Good, but probably not best of his CDs
Review: This is the only Paolo Conte CD I've heard. I bought it after hearingthe intoxicating Via con Me track from the German movie "Mostly Martha".Unfortunately, the Via con Me track on this CD is not identical, and notas suavely romantic as the movie track. In my view, the large collection of songs are rather hit and miss, but not a bad value forthe price. Highlights include Elisir, Gong-Oh, Alle Prese con una Verde Milonga, and Ballato Di Tutto. Best songs keep to his rhythmic swingand pulsating piano with catchy key changes. There's also some nicestand-up bass and guitar on a few tracks. Songs fall flat when tooexperimental with voice or tacky musical stylings. Overall, a decent introduction, but I'd be shocked if one of the other compilations wasn't more elegant and swinging.
Is the review positive or negative?
