Old Sparky
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

Bluvertigo — Zero | DeRank™: 0,00

The challenging album by the BV, the album expertly produced and packed with insights, beautiful tracks, and not-so-Italian landscapes. They were different, perhaps not appreciated or understood. more

The Cure — Pornography | DeRank™: 3,00

What can I say? When I listen to it (vinyl or CD), the emotions are still as strong as the first time I heard it. It doesn’t age, in fact. 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

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

One Last Wish | DeRank™: 0,00

A band that lasted only four months. An album recorded in 1986 and released only 13 years later. Just a year had passed since the breakup of Rites Of Spring and only one was left until the formation of Fugazi. In the middle, there's this gem. Thank you again, Guy. more

I’ll say this to define them: listen to "Gardenia," a seven-minute track that opened the album "Welcome to Sky Valley"... at an unheard volume… MOTHERFUCKER… more

They have declined after the debut masterpiece, of course, but they managed to do so by just a little and still recorded beautiful albums. Endless class. more

De...Marga...
A trip on acid that has redemptive power. It’s 1992 and the guys from Palm Desert are releasing their best work: heavy-psychedelic-blues of beastly strength, with a saturated and lowered guitar sound that hurts. It’s the heavy-fuzz of "Thumb" that kicks off the listening: the possessed Black Sabbath multiplied by ten, a hundred, a thousand... But there’s no respite because the boulder of "Green Machine" comes crashing in, followed immediately by the colossal "Molten Universe"... And there are still eleven tracks to go. more
