Absurd guitarist. A sound you'd recognize among a thousand, an extraordinary inventiveness and above all a desire to always keep up with the times, not to be anchored to classic schemes but to create something new and significant nonetheless. His solo in Baby's on Fire is orgasmic (and not just that). more
A rock Midas, everything he touches turns to shine and significance. From the unconventional beginnings of the earliest Roxy Music, to the glam phase of his solo career, and then becoming one of the undisputed masters of ambient music with Music for Airports. His skills as a producer are also remarkable, having produced truly immortal albums. In a word: superb. more
A complete artist, who has been able to reinvent himself multiple times while always maintaining a characteristic and unmistakable style, as well as being experimental to the right degree. "Heroes" and Low are albums with an enormous and hardly quantifiable musical significance, besides being characterized by kraut atmospheres that drive me crazy. Even the glam phase is absolutely top-notch. In short, one of the best of all time and the author of at least four absolute masterpieces. more
January 1995: the Fratelloni del PUNK release their last album. It concludes the following year, with the album tour, a career unparalleled in the history of Music; my eternal gratitude to a band that has rightly entered legend. An album that contains the usual simple anthems this time titled "I Don't Want To Grow Up," "The Crusher," "Cretin Family," and the concluding "Born To Die In Berlin." "ADIOS AMIGOS, VIVA LA REVOLUCION"... UNIQUE... more
How did I end up here? more
A colorful trip of light blue and other soft colors that accompany my drowsy mornings in search of relaxation and an escape from too many thoughts. more
A wondrous vision of other universes clashing, crashing into one another. Hungry sounds, now quiet, now stormy, psychedelic calls and screams smothered by the machinery of existence. The delirium of the human mind and a universe far too vast, vastly superior to man, lost in its own beliefs. Vibrations, oscillations within the soul and the heart. The whole is nothing, the nothing is everything; the void envelops us and devours us until it digests us. "Schwingungen" communicates all this. more
They moved a generation, the SF was a great project with excellent texts, gone rudimentarily to waste. Broken dream. more
Underrated guitarist, a drummer too often forgotten, a tasteful keyboardist, and a second keyboardist from a universally compositional perspective. The Toto are not underrated; rather, they have paid the price of needing recognition in the charts, but fundamentally they are 5-star because there are no 6-star ratings. more
When I talk about Jacob Bannon's project, I recommend listening to the song "Jane Doe" that closes the self-titled album: 11 minutes of destabilizing descent into the darkest and most tumultuous abyss... Terrifying... more
If the stars could hear her songs, they would feel much closer to the earth...and much less alone. more
It's like the old southern grandfather who tells you... "how's it going with the girlfriend? Marììì fill the glass for the kid" sweetness and realism, drunken lyrics and a farmer's voice, poetry, solitude, and irony. Immense. more
Who has never gotten out of a Ferrari after driving down the A14 at 240 km/h saying... what a piece of crap this car is? more
I would dare to use the term "revolution." They are the perfect balance between the dance of the best years of the 60s and 70s and tasteful electronics, drawing on the nuances of eurodance and the magic of Alan Parson... hoping not to delude myself. more
A Californian quartet produces an electrifying new surf mex sound. A standout feature is that they are masked. Discreet, a plus because they carry the surf flag forward. more
Aside from the cover of "Black Magic Woman," which remains her masterpiece, the rest is a sea of missteps and various blunders. Still, I respect it. more
The first three albums are great, X&Y 5 stars, Viva la Vida is beautiful but that’s where the decline into commercialism started. Mylo Xyloto is super commercial but the songs can be enjoyable; the last singles are complete crap, just imagine how the album will be. more
Beautiful album, even though I prefer "My Generation." "Cobwebs and Strange" is absolutely amazing, and the title track, although a bit immature, remains one of their cornerstones as well as Townshend's first "small" experiment in rock opera (a piece that would find its consecration in Leeds a few years later). more
If you are trying to understand what the monster is that is trying to trap you in a vicious circle of languor and indifference, if you are looking for a cure for the spleen... well, you can find it in their soothing guitars, in the captivating keyboards, and in the lyrics of a damned gentleman named Robert Smith. more
The music of Queen (thankfully) has managed to break down the walls created by the cynical and megalomaniac ignorance of the "music professors," that is, people who have never seen a sparrow in their lives and claim to explain how it works. I feel embarrassed hearing tracks like Innuendo, Bohemian Rhapsody being termed good songs, good albums. Try (re)writing their pieces, their harmonies and stop jerking off to David Bowie, because Mercury had him before you. more
