one of my favorite records, the tracks by mrs. John Murphy (Kim Deal) leave a mark. for my tastes, better than doolittle more
When Italian ignorance and provincialism clashed with leather jackets and the grandiose metal/glossy ambitions of the '80s, the results were these. more
Fourth album for the Bostonian Pixies, the last before their temporary split; it kicks off with a destabilizing triptych: "Trompe Le Monde," "Planet of Sound," and "Alec Eiffel" are powerful hits, driven by Black Francis's declamatory voice and Joey Santiago's cosmic guitar. We then move to the serene "Bird Dream Of The Olympus Mons," where Kim Deal's bass weaves dreamy patterns; and it's "The Navajo Know" that gracefully concludes the whole experience. more

essential for all avant-garde music from the 1970s to the present day. more
immense in some works, always great even in the less successful albums. more

This is the work I appreciate the least out of all of Mark Knopfler's solo production; a certainly well-crafted album, as always, played with a naturalness that only the Scot, and very few others, can provide. An album recorded in the year of Mark's sixtieth birthday that contains rare electric moments so dear to me that they can gladly remind me of his immortal Dire Straits; nonetheless, I can't give the album less than four stars. more
The ring road more
many owe him a lot, often without even knowing it more
Arms NOT stolen from agriculture! ahahahahaahah I admit I don't know it that well, but I think it deserves a 4 just for the vibe. Listened to Hot Rats and others... yeah, okay, 5 stars. more
It has little to do with certain "colleagues" that came out of the Fabbrica di Amici. That's why it scores a 2. more
