5.0 out of 5 stars Consoli gives Womyn's Punk/Rock an International Flavor, May 20, 2000

It is hard to describe Carmen Consoli's Mediamente Isterica as any one kind of pop music, except the ingenius kind. From an American perspective, Consoli's style rivals such U.S. Musician heroines as Ani Difranco and Sarah McLachlan. Hardcore instrumentals combine with her breathy vocals for a perfect blend of poignancy and power. But if you can't understand Italian you are missing out on some equally powerful lyrics.

5.0 out of 5 stars ITALIAN ROCK N ROLL, July 21, 2003

This review is from: Mediamente Isterica (Audio CD)

The combination on Carmen Consoli's breathy voice and the hard rock in back of it makes a startling contrast in styles. One of the best voices, the hard rock/punky style is stunning. The sonics are sharp and clear. I happen to like the Italian she sings in. I don't understand it, but every time I get one of these world discs, the voice is like another instrument to me. I don't have to understand it, I hear it. It's part of the instrumentals. This is a very sexy style of music. Lot's of bass. I like that. Very 21st century. If you like hard, straight ahead loud rock, with a very soft, but, commanding style, this is your disc.
