"They killed Spider-Man" is a great opening, and the next three hold up well. Since 1999, it has fluctuated between the craft and some genuinely successful songs. more
A great character and person, he was a big deal in the '70s and '80s. Then he got involved with De Filippi, but the segments he curated in her shows never fell into trash. The credit goes to his golden era. Whether you have a membership or not, he is a good journalist, humane and intelligent. more
Exceptional person. One of us. more
A sadly short career, with three albums released in the eighties; delightful pop songs, where the brilliance of compositional elegance was a shining characteristic... Are you ready to have your heart pierced?… more
They come from Los Angeles, California; their sound is a crossover that navigates through reggae, ska, soul, metal, funk-rock. All seasoned with an overdose of healthy fun; "The Reality Of My Surroundings" the most e-saltante album... Black Power... more
It's the debut album of the band formed by Michael Moss and Duncan Patterson, the unforgettable bassist of Anathema. A profound, intimate music that combines electronics and ambient through a series of songs that captivate you, leaving you struck by their sacred and simple beauty; a pinnacle reached by "Over Your Shoulder" where everything is amplified by the voice of Michelle Richfield, transporting you on a spiritual journey, projecting you into the infinite... Angelic... more
A charming little record, melancholic, a great epitaph for one of the greatest bands in history, albeit a notch below their masterpieces. "Imagine a Man," "They are all in Love," and "Blue, Red and Grey" are nice tracks. 3.5 balloons, happily rounded up to 4. more
Good band, fully sufficient. What would the Beatles have been like in the '90s if we assume a decline in quality? more
Better than crap, but you have to see how much less of Art. more
A dignified sufficiency, but no more. more
Music project by Justin Broadrick and Aaron Turner; "Disconnected" is the only album recorded in 2009. Eight long tracks that move between noise, doom, industrial, drone, and sludge with a heaviness that impresses. I've never listened to music so "unlistenable"... Mastodontic... more
Alright, I've listened to something, damn that's crap. more
I accidentally stumbled upon an ad for I don't know what about her, featuring a bunch of people (all of them female, well) happily singing her songs. As Mafalda said in a comic strip, regarding humanity: "We should start over and see if it goes better." more
Singer for women-only mass(ies). Mediocre since '93. more
Refresh my memory... more
The Arsenio Lupin of Italian music. more
In my total binge of past Progressive, I also stumbled upon his Semiramis, quite cute although terribly immature (him at fifteen on the electric guitar). Then just crap, but that’s obvious. more
This Amon Düül II - Sandoz In The Rain (Improvisation) would be enough for a 5 for eternity, then there's all the rest... Forget about flower children, these are the hippies who came from Hell.

More false than true. more
Good enough. However, he is not among the greatest. more
