The etymology of this gorgeous double CD is related to the “intonarumori”, a series of noise-generating devices built at the beginning of the 20th Century by Italian futurists Luigi Russolo and Ugo Piatti, which they used to compose music and perform live with futurist poet Marinetti. But "Intonarumore" is also the name of Antonio Galvañ's home studio, where 99% of PARADE's music has been recorded, included all the songs featured on this compilation. This is why “Intonarumore” epitomises the career of this artist, unique in the Spanish music scene, before joining JABALINA with the September 2009 release "La fortaleza de la soledad", his fabulous fifth record. This new compilation features digipack artwork including an 8-page booklet by artist Mario Feal (as usual in PARADE's recent releases), and consists of two CDs containing 41 songs -including 10 unreleased tracks- plus extra instrumental interludes. Let's get into the matter of things: “Intonarumore” is made up of two different volumes, different but equally interesting. The first CD is some sort of "very best of" PARADE from his years in label SPICNIC, including official recordings from his first albums and EPs, many of which are currently either out of print or rare. Twenty classics from his repertoire such as “Radar”, “Primer contacto”, “Metaluna Moroder”, "Niño zombi", “Níkel Cromo”, “Flora Rostrobruno”, etc... The second CD is devoted to rare and unreleased tracks, a careful selection of songs grouped in styles and separated by short futurist instrumentals which will delight Parade fans. It features a total of 29 rare or unreleased tracks, like the much-demanded remix of “Niño zombi”, and a series of cover versions (of ALASKA Y DINARAMA, FAMILY, LA CASA AZUL or Franco Battiato) which he usually performs live. All in all, this is a record for long-time fans and newcomers alike. "Intonarumore" is a landmark in PARADE's career, and a great summary of Antonio Galvañ's genius, featuring both the best and the rarest before the wonderful next chapter.
