Fantômas -Suspended Animation
De...Marga...
The lesson, prodigious, of Mr. Bungle taken to extremes: divinely!!! I draw inspiration from what is written on the back of the charming packaging: "30 Miniature Holidays In 43 Minutes." The tracks are untitled; they are precisely 30 "exaggerated" bursts where Mr. Dunn, Lombardo, Osborne, and Patton demonstrate their mastery of the proposed sonic mixture: ultra noise, ultra grind, ultra EVERYTHING, with various and assorted samples. Dave's inhuman performance on the drums stands tall... PRECIOUS. more

Come on, we've all looked for our hook up in the sky... maybe someone was looking for it because they wanted to hang Baglioni on that hook... but in the meantime, they looked for it anyway. more
Shuggie Otis -Inspiration Information
Lao Tze
The proof of a superior Mind: Funk that doesn’t settle for the more traditional union with Soul and meets Reggae, Bossa, and the "smooth" delicacy of a guitar and electric piano that enhances the senses. For me, this even anticipates trip-hop by two decades. Discharged by Epic: too ahead to be understood. more

A cultural phenomenon as well as a musical one. Today, their works may seem outdated, but at the time they were innovative. My 5 is on the rise for the historical importance of the group. more

Domenico Modugno | DeRank™: 0,00

The first great innovator of Italian song. Although Battisti innovated much more. He doesn’t reach 5 stars because he was born in a too retro era, but certainly, he and Claudio Villa are at opposite ends. more

After SOTU, an album worthy of the band, less fluff and more concrete songs. I still don't appreciate Hiller's production. more

A live performance to plunge into the dark abyss of the most colorful decade in history. The 80s for sure, but from another planet. Here’s the essence of this band’s allure. more

Recoil — subHuman | DeRank™: 0,00

Alan Wilder, the man behind the sound (until 1995) of Depeche Mode, the man whom DM fans still long for. His absence has yet to be filled. Recoil is a niche project, almost despised by the die-hard DM fans, but highly appreciated by those who have no mental constraints and are eager to listen to music without rules and/or labels. SubHuman is perhaps the 'strangest' album from Wilder's production; it requires many listens to understand, discover, and decipher the immense work of production. Blues more

Fugazi — 13 Songs | DeRank™: 3,37

The beginning, the genesis of Fugazi; here are gathered the first two mini albums I own on vinyl, released in the years 88/89 for Dischord. Little to say, little to add; it is only right to mention the first song, the brief "Waiting Room" which opens with Joe's martial bass rhythm, giving way to a staccato guitar sound that ultimately explodes, accompanied by the vocal refrain of Ian and Guy: deadly. It is "Margin Walker" that seals my fraternal devotion to the band...ETERNAL... more

Fabrizio De André -In Concerto Vol. I e II
SydBarrett96
Two tremendous live performances, which I obviously consider as a single album. PFM's arrangements greatly enhance De André's repertoire, to the point where I can't hide the fact that the versions of "Amico Fragile" and "Verranno a Chiederti del Nostro Amore" (to which I am infinitely attached) are even better than the originals. The only flaw is the setlist, with too many tracks from "Rimini," but then again, it was the album they were promoting on tour. more
