Simon & Garfunkel
Nothing essential, but in the right mood, emotions definitely give you something. However, I repeat, compared to their time, nothing exceptional. more
Justin Bieber
Maybe it can beat even Yoko Ono in terms of uselessness. more
The Breeders -Last Splash
The year after, Frank Black had to come up with a (brilliant) double album to measure up to this incredible record. A definitive demonstration (if it was needed) that in the Pixies, there were 2 talents, and they were equally matched. more
Ulver
The Norwegian band led by Kritoffer Rygg has undergone a musical metamorphosis that takes your breath away, it’s so remarkable: a turning point that took place at the turn of the millennium, transforming them into something truly unique...EXPERIMENTERS... more
Ulver -Perdition City
It’s the spring of two thousand: a new millennium and a new album for Kristoffer Rygg’s band. A radical yet unexpected shift that the Norwegians took with Perdition City: they abandon the Black Metal that characterized their earlier solid albums, arriving at a form of experimental electronic-ambient-trip hop that literally leaves you cold. But it’s a pleasure to be enveloped by tracks like the opening “Lost In Moments” or the prophetic title “The Future Sound Of Music”... more
Vangelis
Capable of creating indescribable atmospheres. Albedo 0.39 is its greatest proof. However, 4 because with its countless OSTs, I find it a bit limited by the visuals. more
Prozac+
Spring-summer 1998. more
Lenny Kravitz
Well, for me, he's a good guy.. I don't follow him much, but I don't disparage him at all.. And then, well, "The Chamber" is a really great single, at least compared to the CRAP, and I emphasize CRAP, that plays on the radio... more
Tool
People are deaf with these tools, it's official. more
Tool -Lateralus
This is MY Tool album: no doubt about it, even though I appreciate the entire discography of the band. An album "Lateralus" that immediately won me over, starting from the cover, with that sound so deep, expansive, through a sequence of long and imposing tracks that take your breath away, yet leave you with a sense of inner peace that urges you to start over from the beginning once you finish listening. It’s the titular track, disturbingly beautiful, that I prefer... HYPNOTIC... more
Righeira
If those two puppets without any talent or purpose had been caught by that genius of evil, Malcolm McLaren, back in the day, he would have at least turned them into his personal response to Hall & Oates... or maybe we would remember them (or perhaps not) for something other than... well, let's move on. more
Pino Daniele
It's clear that the vote doesn't go to that EMBARRASSING THING that appears in the video of "Neve al sole" and other similar ones, but to its incarnation from a previous life. more
Megadeth -Rust In Peace
Incredible album with AMAZING guitar solos. more
Tool
"Aenima," released in 1996, and "Lateralus," published five years later, are enough for me to give five stars; and the wait for their new work is literally consuming me...THE GRUDGE... more
Corrosion Of Conformity -Deliverance
Year of Our Lord 1994: in my opinion, the North Carolina band reaches its compositional zenith with an album that is nothing short of sublime. The powerful sonic magma contained within encompasses all those specific characteristics of a sound that moves between Sabbathian references of hard rock, heavy-stoner echoes, and does not forget their hardcore past. "Albatross," "Clean My Wounds," and the brief and lightning-fast "My Grain" stand tall as the furious peak of a memorable album...CONCRETE... more
Led Zeppelin
"If you had a bit of land back then, they would come and steal even your olives." (self-quote) more
America
Not much. more
Tool
Oh my God, what is this crap? Tool? Are there actually people who listen to them? Come on, tell me this is a joke or a bad dream... more
Popol Vuh
Getting into prog, electronic, experimental, post, indie stuff has almost become normal for alternative minds (of which I proudly count myself a part too)... But if someone can truly appreciate the sound of Popol Vuh at the border of the mystical, the sacred, and the meditative, it means they are really open-minded!!! more
