Ultravox -Systems Of Romance
It's a pity that fate didn't grant a second chance to the lineup that created this album. In my opinion, the average quality of the tracks is lower than the previous album (hence my 4), but the new guitarist had some pretty good ideas (e.g. 'Slow Motion'), and the few live performances available online make me say it's a shame it didn't last longer (the lineup). more
High Rise
Japanese psychedelic group, very "noisy." A must-try. more
Einstürzende Neubauten
Simply apocalyptic, they violate your mind. "Die Zeichnungen Des Patienten O.T" is the most disturbing and alienating album I have listened to so far. more
Dream Theater
Let’s say I didn't even seriously try with these. The fact is, I wouldn’t want to be caught by a stranger listening to them; I don’t want to come across as a fan of these guys. My stance is a no-vote. more
Jaco Pastorius -Jaco Pastorius
Essential for bassists more
HBO -Band Of Brothers
What a beautiful series! more
Echo and The Bunnymen -Crocodiles
I don't have the expertise to define this album properly: melodic post-punk, is that the genre?! Well, what I do know is that it's a show; I didn't know the band and now Crocodiles fits perfectly in my collection. more
Esther Phillips -From a Whisper to a Scream
This is soul! An album sung beautifully, arranged with class, and that makes you feel good every time you listen to it, strictly from start to finish. more
Jimmy Page
Most of his acoustic compositions display very little inventiveness; he has blatantly drawn from the masters of English folk such as Bert Jansch or Davey Graham (and let’s be charitable about "Poor Tom," which is practically identical to John Fahey's "Sunflower River Blues"). Being a great admirer of both English and American acoustic guitarists from the Sixties myself, dear Page can’t help but get on my nerves. I’m sorry. more
Groundation
I'm surprised that no one has reviewed this little group yet. I believe that few musicians play reggae like they do, especially since they infuse all their jazz culture into it. Hebron's Gate is one of the albums of a lifetime! more
HOWLIN' WOLF -HOWLIN' WOLF
One of the essential albums of the blues. Nicknamed "Rockin' Chair" because of the cover, it is the second album of the "Howlin' Wolf," representing a kind of Bible for the music to come. "Spoonfool," "Tell Me," "Backdoor Man"... a great character, aided by the true "brains" of Chess, Mr. Dixon... History. more
Allman Brothers Band -Live at Fillmore East
Little to say, an "unstoppable giant" of live in 1971... Class, technique, blues/jazz/rock and Southern intertwining to create a unique sound. I have it in all possible versions, including the latest version in four LPs excellently restored... more
Jerry Garcia -Garcia
A "special" album for me. Year '72, the first solo work of "Uncle Jerry," unmistakable guitar, "Deal," "Sugaree," all memorable songs... more
Pink Floyd -The Wall
I finally come to speak about one of those albums that shaped me, musically speaking; it was 1980 when, as a young, long-haired teenager, I purchased the double cassette of this Monument for a few thousand of those dear old Lire. An album I have listened to perhaps more than any other work, immediately captivated and overwhelmed by the over eighty minutes it contains; it seems almost superfluous to add anything else... "Comfortably Numb" is the track, one of my songs: THE SONG... more
Fu Manchu
The right kinds. more
Ruins
What a struggle it is to keep up with these crazies. more
The Stooges
Eternal glory even just for "Raw Power." more
Fiorello
Made in Claudio Cecchetto. more
