I wonder what was Francesco di Giacomo doing while the rest of Banco were recording "Garofano Rosso". For what I know, this is the soundtrack of a 1976 Italian film in which Spanish famous singer Miguel Bosé got a very important part; I've never seen the movie but I've heard the soundtrack played by BMS and it is actually one of the least interesting albums they made.

The absence of Francesco di Giacomo (or any other singer) is actually a negative point to this record; yes, the music is nice but it is only very average music with no interesting moments on it. It is more than obvious that this is a soundtrack, and probably watching the movie would be the best way to appreciate this material, but to just listen to the album leaves me with a total lack of satisfaction.

The album is not a total waste, nice acoustic guitar and piano arrangements once in a while show the talent the Nocenzi brothers and friends had, but most of the album is just filler music.
