A sonic vertigo that will violently launch you onto a Babylonian ziggurat amidst industrial atmospheres, tribal percussion, clanging guitars, and noise-post-rock passages. more
An anomalous wave of overwhelming beauty. Hypnotic, psychedelic, electronic, visionary, anxiety-inducing... more
An alien fetus with wings growing, listen after listen, inside you. If you nurture it properly, you might risk flying... more
The bleak debut of Arab Strap amidst low-low-fi guitars, folk impressions, subdued voices. A disjointed album, just like real life can be. more
Legend has it that Reflex Music, due to budget constraints, forced the Minneapolis trio to release their debut album recorded live. We are in 1982, and the music of Bob, Grant, and Greg is unwavering, pitch-black Hardcore, played at a derailing speed. Twenty-six furious, piercing, frantic minutes that only slow down in the concluding "Data Control." Recorded, terribly but it hardly matters, in their city on August 15, 1981...THE GENESIS... more
Between the synthetic Sheffield of the Human League and the industrial one of the Cabaret Voltaire, they emerged at the dawn of the '80s. Dark, nervous, and depressed post-punk. Gritty guitars, '60s organs in an alienated context. Very close to the Sound's 'Jeopardy', but at times you get the feeling of listening to the Feelies in slow motion. more
Happy nervous breakdown. more
Grantzberg Vernon (Grant) Hart: here’s who lies behind the strange name of this band that was active for just over a five-year span in the nineties. Only two albums were released by the former drummer and singer of that sound monument known as Husker Du. A sound that draws from the last more "Pop Oriented" period of Husker, presenting us with an artist in search of tranquility, a new life, after the dark years and the breakup with Bob Mould...Please Don't Ask... more

Please, review them... I miss them so much :( more
The mad genius who gifted us not only the masterpiece by Pink Floyd but also incredible solo albums like "Barrett" and "The Madcap Laughs." more
California band from San Francisco, authors of an excellent debut album, the self-titled "Moby Grape" from 1967, where the guitars of Miller, Lewis, and the charismatic and "crazy" leader Skip Spence were blazing… more
Probably the best Italian band I've heard so far. more
It's the band that led me to delve into that fantastic decade of the 60s. Between Surrealistic Pillow, Volunteers, or After Bathing at Baxter's, I really don't know which one to choose, a discography of consistently high quality. And then that voice... what a voice that of Grace Slick! more
Well done, very well done. But personally, I don't consider them the best of progressive. more
