They can really be considered to be an exception in the 1980\u2019s.<\/p>\n To be clear, the New Trolls<\/strong> were , and remain, one of the world\u2019s most talented groups musically, technically and artistically.<\/p>\n De Scalzi and Di Palo, in addition to being great singers with uncommon vocal talents who made the choral and solo parts of the group an unmistakable trademark, were and are superfine composers and multi-instrumentalists (as it is well known Melody Maker was so impressed by Nico that they included him in the list of the 10 best European guitarists of the 70s, when he was still very young).<\/p>\n However, the Italians are well known for their ridiculous capacity of snubbing their co-patriots in favour of dubious foreign offerings.<\/p>\n Xenophilia<\/strong> is a mental affliction that has too long afflicted the population which has taught almost every art form to the rest of the world.

In the 60s\u2019 and 70s\u2019 L\u2019Alcione became a hub of theatre, the avantgarde and, most of all, progressive rock. Amongst others Van Der Graaf Generator<\/strong>, Genesis<\/strong>, Gentle Giant<\/strong> and Peter Hammill<\/strong> played there.<\/p>\n In 1973 \u201cTempi Dispari<\/em>\u201d was recorded by NT Atomic System<\/strong>, a side project of the original band, following disagreements between members. (Take note of the excellent \u201cIbis<\/strong>\u201d by Nico di Palo.)<\/p>\n Two years earlier the band had embraced prog by recording \u201cConcerto Grosso per I New Trolls<\/em>\u201d, a milestone on the rock scene, which was truly unique and the likes of which had never been heard in Italy. This was followed in 1976 by the less successful \u201cConcerto Grosso No 2<\/em>\u201d, which is certainly worth revisiting.<\/p>\n Beginning with psychedelic beat, De Scalzi and co also experimented credibly with hard rock. (Check out the stoner \u201cC\u2019\u00e8 troppa Guerra<\/em>\u201d from 1973 which was really ahead of its time). The group moved through several genres and eventually stuck with pop rock, continuously maintaining a high level.<\/p>\n It is also worth mentioning their maniacal dedication to finding the \u201cright\u201d sound for each genre, especially concerning guitars.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”80″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” centered_text=”true” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height_phone=”0″][image_with_animation image_url=”8220″ animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”center” img_link_large=”yes” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”none” max_width_mobile=”default”][divider line_type=”No Line”][vc_column_text]\n Click play and listen to<\/em><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][nectar_highlighted_text color_type=”regular” text_color=”#dd9933″ style=”full_text”]\n C’\u00e8 troppa guerra<\/strong><\/p>\n[\/nectar_highlighted_text][nectar_video_lightbox link_style=”play_button” parent_hover_relationship=”1″ video_url=”https:\/\/youtu.be\/H09dsrpBkX8″][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”80″][divider line_type=”Small Line” line_alignment=”default” line_thickness=”1″ divider_color=”accent-color” custom_height_phone=”0″ custom_height=”80″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”30″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]\n After various albums, hit singles and working with other artists, The New Trolls made it to 1980 having lost Giorgio Usai<\/strong> (keyboards) and Giorgio D\u2019Adamo<\/strong> (bass) along the way.<\/p>\n With this line-up ,consisting of Vittorio De Scalzi<\/strong> (vocals and keyboards), Nico di Palo<\/strong> (guitar, bass and vocals), Gianni Belleno<\/strong> (drums and vocals) and Ricky Belloni<\/strong>, they hit the \u201cDouble\u201d recording studios of Idea di Milano, with the technician Andr\u00e8 Harwwd and the producer Gianfranco Lombardi, to get the 80s\u2019 started in their own way.<\/p>\n The result was \u201cFS<\/strong>\u201d a concept album based around a train journey and the passengers encountered on the way.

anticipates the Italian style of the 80\u2019s. \u201cQuella luna dolce<\/strong>\u201d is a tender and intimate ballad with a great fretless bass played by Di Palo.<\/p>\n De Scalzi sings with infinite sweetness while the famous voices of the New Trolls harmonize on the chorus and Belloni takes care of the bridge.<\/p>\n The piece reflects on the journey from child to man and the moon is the mother (or maybe grandmother) who accompanies the first steps, passing through adolescence into maturity, at which point the moon itself becomes the closest companion and will hopefully accompany you for the rest of your life.<\/p>\n Once again metaphysical themes and reflections on existence are transmitted through the metaphor of the train journey.<\/p>\n The closing verses are beautifully

in reacting to their audience while being averse to political machinations, they failed to get the recognition awarded to other bands.<\/p>\n Each piece of FS condenses and presents numerous quotations from the history of popular or cultured music in a coherent and harmonious way.

Musically and lyrically they seem to come from two different worlds.<\/p>\n The darkest aspect can be found in the lyrics where we can find phrases such as \u201cOn this bitter beach I have become a thing<\/em>\u201d, \u201cMy generation has turned off<\/em>\u201d and \u201cThere is no more time<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n Now that we\u2019ve reached the end of the pro-American line, without the
