Fossati’s songwriting gives the collection substance, but the cross-period selection and scattered live tracks make it function more as a sampler than a shaped album.

What we noticed

  • The sequence moves from “Il talento delle donne” to “La musica che gira intorno” and “Ventilazione,” then inserts a live “Panama” fourth.
  • The tracklist gathers songs from different periods; two live versions, “Panama” at four and “Una notte in Italia” at fourteen, interrupt the studio-song sequence.
  • The closing track is “'Cow Boys',” after “Labile”; the running order does not build toward a single final statement.

Known within its scene. Reported but not counted — how far a record travelled describes its reception rather than the record, and a newer release has had less time to travel than an older one.
