"Lullaby Land" is really something special. more
The Elton John of the new millennium. more
between '70s English prog, Zappa, and Echolyn. A masterpiece. more

indie folk with remarkable prog nuances. beautiful beautiful. more
The worst progressive album I have ever listened to. The suite is redundant and pompous yet simultaneously insignificant, the second side swings between absolute abomination and mediocrity. Horrible even by the not-so-excellent standards of ELP. more
Despite himself (and I emphasize: DESPITE HIMSELF), the patriarch of entire generations of stick jugglers. And I don't even like his style, but giving less than 5 is objectively impossible. more
The biggest insider/underachiever in the history of music. Yes, something discreet, and discreet is he as a musician - but if his name were Cinciripini, we wouldn't even be talking about him. more
When I have to talk about the English Masters, I become speechless, in a state of perpetual sensory ecstasy as I think back to their records released between 1967 and 1979... Timeless... more
Every listening experience gets better. Almost a 5. Prog '70, space, psychedelia, odd times. more
Unmissable and wonderful more
Communists, pro-Soviet, politicized, punky... In short, just how I like it. Their first album is an absolute masterpiece, starting from the title. EMILIA PARANOICAAAA! more
It has nothing to envy from Steinbeck, indeed! A unique talent in describing misery, ignorance, and the human condition in general. His endings are devastating, and his books are short and sharp as razors. more
A small great work of pure hard rock, post-grunge, very pleasant. The rest in my review. more
"wonderfully" more
The last of the CCCP in theory, but in practice the first of the CSI. With Ringo De Palma keeping the rhythm in check, another great album from that band of lunatics. more
I've been contemplating how to define the group for days. I remember my infatuation thirty years ago when "Ride The Lightning" was released; that infatuation continued through the next two albums and the one before it. Then came the "Black Album": well, some songs aren't bad. After that, nothing, or almost nothing. "In Medias Res," the Romans used to say... more
A "gem" of the English psychedelic scene of the '60s, a refined, imaginative pop, where "Look At Me, I'm You" stands out, perhaps the best track on the album... more
Debut album for the British band, year 1970. The band was founded the year before by two members of the Crazy World of Arthur Brown, Vincent Crane on organ and keyboards and Carl Palmer, who at just twenty already demonstrates his great skills on the drums. With the arrival of Graham on bass and flute and John Du Cann on guitars, the group releases the album, a quality progressive hard rock that is very similar to Deep Purple Mark I. Notable tracks include the excellent "Winter" and "Before Tomorrow," composed by Crane and more
