So, probably to almost nobody's interest, but I had to give it a try - as long as I am willing to give tries in this life. This guy is something - and not someone - that exceeds all petty discussions about how prog his music is. I understand the cultural gap, but it's global time and we can all bridge the thing, no question about it.
And I was going to work the other day and I was listening to the Artaud album, and when listening to Cantata De Puentes Amarillos for the umpteenth time I said to myself: "stop, what the f is going on?". So I was reading the lyrics, with verse to verse translation in my language, and it was an epiphany, this guy is a major poet, combining amazing poetry with amazing music, and I listened 4 times in a row and it's not enough. The last 2 minutes of the song just destroy me, but I had to really pay attention to what came before to really understand it.
So if there are any others here that have been so deeply touched by segnor Spinetta, bring it up!
