CCCP Fedeli Alla Linea is an Italian group formed in 1982 in Berlin and originally composed of Giovanni Ferretti and Massimo Zamboni.
Group which released a mini-album “Ortodossia” two years later in 1984, followed shortly by a second called “Ortodosia II”. Followed a year later by a third called “Compagni, Cittadini, Fratelli, Partigiani”. Three mini albums recorded with limited means, to say the least, hence the fact that they will go unnoticed, to say the least…
The first official album “1964/1985 Affinità-Divergenze fra il compagno Togliatti e noi – Del consequimento della Maggiore età” was released two years later in 1986, an album which did not go unnoticed this time, notably thanks to the flagship title “Emilia Paranoica.”
The first official Single “Oh! Battagliero” was released the following year in 1987, as was the album “Socialismo e barbarie”.
New album “Canzoni, preghiera, danze del II millennio – Sezione Europa” in 1989, followed a year later in 1990 by “Epica etica etnica pathos”. Two albums which will not really experience the same level of success as their predecessor.
Relative poor performances from which the group will not recover in the end.

Tracks :
1985...a rough beginning, to say the least, which necessarily limited the group's possibility of influence. A bias that inevitably has a price...
1985...it is clear that the musical style of the group will only interest an audience that is at least initiated. A deliberate choice at first glance...
1985...looking at their first titles, it is clear that we will very rarely see them produce titles of an Intimist nature, if ever...
1985...the group's influence remains limited to an audience that is, to say the least, limited. It doesn't seem to bother them that much at first glance...
1985...it is clear that it is not with this kind of titles that the group is likely to end up at the top of the Charts. Sensitive souls refrain...
1985...we had to wait until this title to finally see them start to shine a little. No reason to get more excited than that...
1986...as long as they continue to produce songs at such a fast tempo it is clear that they will have very little interest in the general public. Or not at all...
1986...their rebellious and excessive side is unlikely to help them break through at the highest level. They will therefore have to be content with a very limited audience if they don't change anything in the years to come...
1986...an out of the norm group which really surprises with its Italian origin. We are the polar opposite of Italo Disco with them, that’s clear…
1987...afterwards there is something for all tastes as they say, even in Italy. Each country has an audience adapted to this type of musical movement and Italy is not necessarily an exception...
1987...and then you never know, a group can evolve and try to adapt a little more to the musical trends of the moment. We will therefore wait to see how things evolve concerning them...
1987...it seems obvious that if there is an evolution it will certainly not take place during this decade but certainly during the next...
1988...if it happens elsewhere, which is absolutely not certain. But we can't see them lasting for decades while maintaining their basic style...
1989...like a semblance of evolution but very slight all the same. With them you should definitely not get carried away because nothing is certain...
1989...an almost normal title, a feat concerning them. There is therefore a real hope that the following decade will be a little calmer, at least we hope so...
1989...so we shouldn't get carried away too quickly because it continues to beat us all the same. To be continued as they say...
1990...they are therefore embarking on a new decade that we hope is more in tune with the musical world that surrounds them. But with them it's never won...
1990...for the moment it's not really heading there but all hope is not lost. In music, everything remains possible in both good and bad ways...
1990...we thought that they would never venture into the Intimist domain and yet that is indeed the case with this title. Incredible but true...
1990...we suspected that this Intimist parenthesis would not last long. Chase away the natural, it comes back at a gallop...
1990...they alternate everything and its opposite from now on. A development that we would have liked to see last but the adventure will not go any further in the end...
2024...
