ROME – Twenty years after its first publication, from today (20 April) the album “Dispari” by Remo Anzovino, which has become a cult and has become available again in a new remastered version on CD and – for the first time – on vinyl time out of catalogue. The vinyl, published by Incipit Records / EGEA Music, will be on sale exclusively in stores participating in Record Store Day 2024, the international day that celebrates independent music stores. Here is the list of shops participating in the initiative: https://recordstoreday.com/Stores?country=Italy&new_search=.
A milestone of instrumental music, the album was entirely inspired by a series of famous silent films that Anzovino had set to music live when he was very young (among many Metropolis, Nosferatu, The Cameraman, Nanook of the North). Recorded, mixed and remastered by Stefano Amerio, one of the most appreciated sound engineers on the instrumental music scene, “Dispari” reveals a unique world and a rare talent for melody from the first track.
The album is fundamental for understanding the origins of the path of a composer who, like few others, creates images in the listener's mind thanks to songs such as Cammino nella notte (watch the video here), The mysteries of a soul, L'Immagine trovata , Nanuk, Suspended Love and the poignant tribute to Tina Modotti ¡Que viva Tina!. When the album was released it reached position n.1 on Itunes Jazz Italia and at the same time was welcomed by critics and with unanimous and transversal enthusiasm.
The rediscovered image was chosen by Simone Cristicchi as the main theme that opens and closes the documentary film on mental asylums “On the other side of the gate”, attached to the album of the same name by Simone Cristicchi (Sony/BMG), published in conjunction with the victory at the Sanremo Festival in 2007.
