4.0 out of 5 stars Maybe not quite the "best of," but..., August 27, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: La Raccolta: Best of (Audio CD)

Since their debut album, "Le Ragazze," in 1995, I've enjoyed listening to Neri per Caso and look forward to every new album release. Even though I already have all five of NpC's previous CDs, and there are only two new songs ["Amore psicologico" and "Tu sei per me"] on this 17-track compilation disc, "La Raccolta" is a welcome addition to my Neri music collection. The 15 songs demonstrate a sort of chronological history of the group, featuring mostly a cappella performances which best characterize the sound of the six "ragazzi" from Salerno, Italy.

Except for "'A Malatia 'e l'America" (in Neapolitan dialect) and a cover of The Beatles' "Here, There and Everywhere," all songs are in Italian. But all lyrics are included in the CD booklet, and without much effort you'll probably find yourself singing along.

It would've been nice to have a few songs that the Neri have performed live but have yet to record included here (especially "Englishman in New York" or "Guantanamera"), but, in any case, being able to listen to almost an hour of the magical voices of NpC is not bad at all.

This review is from: La Raccolta: Best of (Audio CD)

I caught Neri Per Caso on a live Italian satellite broadcast while surfing the music channels. Since it was all in Italian, I couldn't tell what the title of the tune that I joined in progress, but their stellar harmony stopped me in my tracks. Their subsequent number was Amore Psicologico, which allowed me to track it down through CDFlash, an Italian music site. There are a handful of tracks from each of their previous albums, and the wall of sound that they create raises the hair on the back of my arm when I find the 'sweet spot' between the speakers. Back in early 2002, it was cheaper through Italy, now it's cheaper through CDNow.
