Among the best Italian prog groups, but not my favorites. Italian Genesis? more
...in contrast to many others who try to put on a star persona between Europe and the USA, he has collaborated with people like Clapton, Sting, BB King, Quincy Jones, Bono, J. Lee Hooker, Brian May, Don Was, Brian Wilson, Randy Jackson, Pavarotti,...and he’s always himself, for better or for worse, with his strengths and weaknesses, a rough character yet at the same time passionate, 100% Emiliano and Italian...his latest studio album is a testament to his maturity, just like fine wine gets better and deeper...Unique. more
"Celine Dion canta canzoni d'amore mentre le nostre città bruciano." more
Debut album for these good grandchildren of Anekdoten. The blasts of mellotron are definitely there, the Fripp-like guitar too, a nod to Nursery Cryme as well, and the melodic openings are not lacking. A really beautiful album. Unfortunately, the second one will be inferior, and then they disappeared. more
Another live album from the Frog Brigade, led by that musical genius known as Les Claypool, and it’s another hit!!! Massive class, unquantifiable technique, the sheer enjoyment of the individual musicians during the performance: all of this earns top marks from me. There are two covers, which open and close the concert, from rather interesting bands, namely King Crimson and Pink Floyd: tracks where the "Follia Zappiana" is the predominant component in their endless listening...YES more
My third favorite singer-songwriter after Battiato and Battisti. His best phase was from 75 to 84. After a less convincing period, he bounced back in 1993 with "Blumùn" to remain a Great. more
I'm sorry, but I can't seem to come up with new definitions for yet another Les Claypool project; besides, sausages are a bit hard to digest for me, especially those from Pork (Soda)... Sorry again... more
Pleasant to listen to, good melodies, suitable for these times more
The absolute voice; the famous duet with Lucio Battisti in April 1972 on "Teatro 10" remains one of the peaks of Italian song...DIVINE... more
A tremendous guitarist. Essential. Rest in Peace. more
I’m giving only a 3 because a 5 goes to those who can braid the horses! more
Important for our pop music. more
Third album in chronological order for the Californian band; and it's their best work released in 1992. A finally perfect production highlights a sound made of technically impeccable Death Metal, with Thrash accelerations that make the tracks devastating, on the brink of a nervous breakdown; a work of the individual musicians that knows no pauses, always in search of executive violence, with an additional note of merit for bassist Steve DiGiorgio...Sadici... more
Whether it's the band's masterpiece and the pinnacle of British folk, I'm not sure; I only own this album by the group in question, and I must say it's a great work. "Farewell, Farewell," "Crazy Man Michael," the central medley are exceptional, just like Danny's great voice... more
The extremization of sound and the concept of Hardcore; a foundational band for understanding the subsequent twisted step that will lead to the birth of Grindcore...The Nightmare Continues... more
A commercial shame! The true worthy Italian pianists are Stefano Battaglia and Bollani (the latter barely). more
A good singer with Genesis, he loses most of his charm as a solo artist. more
Excellent "musical phenomenon" in the fertile Italian underground scene. Their sound strongly resembles Joy Division from a more shoegaze and new wave perspective, the only flaw (in my opinion) being the excessive use of reverb. Their track "Ecstasy" from the album "Fate" well represents the potential of this interesting trio.
4, awaiting further productions. more
The greatest singing teacher who brought light to his people in Naples without asking for anything in return was also great because he launched big singers like Nino D'Angelo and good singers like D'Alessio. A good man, my sister took singing lessons from the same person who arranged the songs for her and said that Mario was the kindest man in the world. more
Here too, we play it safe; a bit unripe, but not too much. more
