REMIGIO DUCROS - LA PALLA E' ROTONDA




Track 1 - Tifo E Allegria
Track 2 - Le Sconfitte Brucianti
Track 3 - Il Pubblico
Track 4 - Voglia Di Gioco
Track 5 - Calcio Al Ralenti
Track 6 - Calcio Come Contestazione
Track 7 - Calcio Come Violenza
Track 8 - Una Partita Agitata
Track 9 - La Rimonta
Track 10 - Magia Del Calcio
Track 11 - Le Sconfitte Brucianti
Track 12 - Contropiede
Track 13 - Pressing
Track 14 - Sgambetto

I've been meaning to check this one out and I wasn't disappointed! There are a few tracks that didn't quite hit the mark with me but there's so much variety and skill on show it more than makes up for any missteps. Highlights include the dark and spacey "Le Sconfitte Brucianti", the monster breakbeat groover "La Rimonta", the all percussion "Pressing" along with two tracks that have found their way on to compilations before "Contropiede" and "Sgambetto". There is also a nice vein of crime jazz running through the middle of the album which certainly provides for excellent listening.

"La Palla E' Rotonodo" ranks alongside another Ducros creation "America Giovone" as under appreciated gems of Italian library music. Credit goes to the Groove Department for the original upload.
