Eugenio Finardi's "Blitz," released on January 1, 1978, under Universal Music Italia Srl, is a seminal work in the Italian singer-songwriter genre. This album, spanning just 35 minutes, is a concise yet powerful collection of eight tracks that showcase Finardi's unique blend of poetic lyricism and melodic depth. The album opens with "Extraterrestre," a track that sets the tone for the introspective journey that follows. "Come Un Animale" and "Drop Out Rock" delve into themes of societal alienation and rebellion, reflecting the socio-political climate of the late 1970s. "Affetto" and "Cuba" offer moments of tenderness and global consciousness, while "Op. 29 In Do Maggiore" and "Northampton, Genn. '78" showcase Finardi's ability to weave intricate narratives. The album closes with "Guerra Lampo," a poignant reflection on conflict and its impact. Originally released under the Cramps label and later remastered in 2016, "Blitz" remains a testament to Finardi's enduring influence in Italian music.
