A beautiful representative of our local romanticism. With Giulio, he has written beautiful things. I feel sorry for his personal situation, but he remains a talented singer-songwriter. more

Fred Uhlman -Niente resurrezioni, per favore
adrmb
Third novel in the trilogy of The Friend Who Was Found, which is effectively a continuation of the first story: Hans – who in this version is called Simon Elias – now aged and disillusioned, returns to his hometown and meets with his old classmates who still carry, beneath their manners and polite formalities, the seeds of Nazism. For me, it’s somewhat the same discussion as 'A Not Vile Soul': it’s a "sequel" that honestly didn’t seem necessary considering that The Friend Who Was Found ended with the bitter reflection of the adult Hans, who had effectively repressed the years spent in Germany and the memories tied to them; this story merely expands on this theme, but the result, in my opinion, is frankly rhetorical, at times repetitive. I repeat, the strength of The Friend Who Was Found lies precisely in its succinctness: in just a few lines it adequately touched upon all the present themes, and being such a brief story – almost symbolizing the transience of the friendship destroyed by Nazism – guarantees a considerable emotional impact. "Less is more": the two subsequent stories were probably only useful to Uhlman to exorcise the traumas of his own past. more

Fred Uhlman — Un'anima non vile | DeRank™: 0,00

This rereading of the events in 'L'Amico ritrovato' from Konradine's perspective is cute, but in my opinion, it remains fundamentally unnecessary, nothing more than a (superfluous) appendix to the moving original story. The problem, in my view, is that Hans and Konradine are practically on the same wavelength character-wise and intellectually, so the feelings and emotions recalled by Konradine regarding his friendship with Hans and the happy school months spent with him are virtually the same as those of his friend, which makes this novella nothing more than a pale imitation of the original. Even the theme of remorse stemming from his uncomfortable position—being the son of Nazis with a Jewish best friend—which would be the "unpublished content," appears redundant, as it is already very much perceivable in 'L'Amico ritrovato.' I don't know; to me, it's a piece of writing that adds nothing to the original material and, in fact, only emphasizes its incisiveness and beauty. more

Toyah — Anthem | DeRank™: 0,00

I saw Toyah in Milan in the early 80s... she was stunning, jumping... dancing... very colorful, but her face was white... yet with an impressive facial expression.
I knew the album Anthem and loved it a lot... I had seen the video for I Want to Be Free and it was love...
Live, just like on the record, the music alternates between moments of apparent calm and explosions... she has a fantastic voice, going from deep lows to incredibly high screams...
What I particularly love about Toyah is this album Anthem... songs like It's a Mystery... another of her hits are a joy to enjoy and sing along with her... or Marionette, with its oscillating rhythm and sudden breaks, making it a beautiful piece.
Back then, I found similarities with Peter Hammill due to her voice and also because of these dark, somewhat punk, new wave tracks...
There were other female singers at that time, like Lena Lovich and Nina Hagen... but none of them made an album like this one!!!
I would love for someone to write a review... I'm not capable of it!!
P.S. Recently, a somewhat commercial album came out with Bob Fripp, who is her husband; she still has a beautiful and unique voice.
Lately, I happened to see some video clips posted by the couple recorded at home...
She must be over 60 years old and she still makes a great impression...
I prefer to remember Fripp as an icon of 70s/80s music... and not as a court jester!!! more
