Uomoman – Digital Kind Of Guy CD

"If the Quasiviri were a group on the avenue of sunset instead of the authors of a capital opera like Super Human, there would still be no need to worry: Uomoman would be ready to take up the baton of the most pulled and irregular pop-rock of the peninsula and beyond.
You will agree that the result of the union between the people of The Great Saunites and X-Mary (as well as a myriad of now defunct projects) looks very unlikely and in some ways this quartet armed with guitars, bass, keyboards, drums and vocoders , unlikely it is, with its retro-futurist pop, always there to go over the top without ever really ending it. Yet everything works and although on paper they have almost nothing to like ... well, I like them. Analog is a very pounded and vocoded kraut that warms the atmosphere, but it is nothing compared to the trio Down to the Valley / Techno Bike / Orlo: rhythms now tightened now persuasively funk, vocal melodies that you will hate because they will immediately plant in your head and laps of winning guitar and keyboards, with more than a nod to the space rock of the Rockets and the lucid madness of Devo. But there is also more, Techno Bike for example, with its parodied and disco-rock 80s r’n’r, it is something that we could have heard from some crooked group in the golden years of Alternative Tentacles. Following, Miami Bike and Steep Slope are two semi-instrumental rides again kraut-rocking, while the closing is entrusted to the high speeds and tongue twisters of Io Non Vengo Più Con Te. Not everyone is able to act silly without being stupid at all: try it even if you can't stand X-Marys, you might like it. It happened to me." - Emiliano Zanotti (Soda Pop)
