Cover notes by Fernando Fanutti, (Rockerilla Magazine). "…Gezz Zero Grup lives and breathes in this contemporary and destroyed village in which we all live; under the limelight and in the darkness of nights without the moon. "Tempi Duri" (Hard Times) is the soundtrack of reality in movement as conflicts surround us. It is live and pulsating music, multicolored and by no means reassuring, in which moments of determination, composition, chance and improvation produce a reciprocal balance between contrast and harmony; a synthesis of optimism and uncertainty, passion and violence, a fusion of ideas."
