ARBEIT MACHT FREI

Few albums have touched me the way "Arbeit Macht Frei" and the voice of Demetrio Stratos has. We are seeing a musical group of political bias and probably the most successful when it comes to extend the quality of music to a political message.

AREA is a communist group (or at least with Marxist ideals) seeking to play the various facets of the unjust capitalist world and, preferably, singing the revolution (as later succeeded in "Crac!").

The effort would be worthy of praise. But AREA do not need praise for effort. What you get in their sound is the strength, the muscles of Stratos, the technology of Tofani, the global chords of Fariselli and the broken and steady pace of Giulio Capiozzo.

AREA sang a revolution which unfortunately has not occurred yet, but the exploitation of man by man still follows. In this sense, this masterpiece of AREA is even more present and makes more sense for us than the celebration of the revolutions of the the mid-70s that we saw in "Crac!".

5 stars do not talk enough about these excelent musicians and great revolutionaries.
