Meno si è meglio si sta, c'è del valore vero nel selezionare le persone di cui ci si circonda perchè la qualità è sempre vincente rispetto alla quantità. Non è quindi un caso se molte delle proposte musicali più interessanti e originali degli ultimi anni (White Stripes e Middle Class Rut tanto per citarne due) siano frutto del lavoro di band minimali, composte di soli 2 elementi.
