There's a track called Milan 1909 which is in fact a description of the Futurist movement. ." "Parolibre" and "Variety Show" include voice recordings of Futurist Filippo Tommaso MarinettiClaudia Salaris Pentagramma elettrico: suoni, rumori e parole in libertà 2009 p 34 "Ma in qualche caso l'omaggio è esplicito e motivato, come nel lavoro di Ryuichi Sakamoto. il cui album Futurista include brani intitolati Parolibre e Milan 1909, dov è inserita una vecchia registrazione della voce di Marinettì."
