This is a record that arises from the need of an intellectual, who is also an artist, a musician, to explore the malaise of today’s society, increasingly aimed at forcing humanity to a future oppressive individual freedoms and critical thinking, dystopian deep down: a future that is actually already there.

Antonello Cresti then presents his own path of analysis of his own matured intolerance, which ends up indicating common criteria to all people still endowed with free thought and yearning for true freedom, in an ideal democratic society, increasingly elusive image in the mists of totalitarianism, ideals and actual, today increasingly dominant.

Regarding the compositional style, we report the words of the author himself:

"Since I never liked to take myself too seriously, and since I learned from Battiato the technique of quotationism, all these songs are crossed by references to the "sound space" of my adolescence, and references emerge to Carmen Consoli, Bluvertigo, Litfiba, and again Sex Pistols, Manu Chao, or the same Battiato...

These six songs may not contain the me of today, but it is certain that I contain them. And it is a beautiful sense of continuity"
