Rainbow
Legendary group formed by Blackmore of Deep Purple, also featured the great Dio, for a deadly pairing! more
Phil Spector
Brilliant and innovative record producer to whom we all owe a debt. Forerunner of the Wall Of Sound, where, to achieve an incredible effect, he multiplied the instruments in the recording studio, effectively inventing his unmistakable Sound. more
Afterhours
Are you afraid of the Dark... just a few listens were enough to appreciate them. I loved some of the lyrics, just like Agnelli's punk rage. more
Negazione
I was recommended to delve into Italian punk. Legendary, pure energy!... They're crazy! more
The Police
Great as well! Reggata de Blanc is a very light album and it glides away like nothing. No grand pretensions, just good music though. more
Area
They were the first to make me understand that we too have had a glorious musical past... superb. more
The Clash -The Clash
It is in the early days of April 1977 that the rage of the Clash explodes in this epoch-making album, one of the generational anthems of Punk and beyond; and they do it through incendiary tracks, short in length, with driving rhythms and lyrics shouted with a primordial fury. An armed declaration that flows through the raw notes of "White Riot," their debut 45, "London's Burning," ...what a title..., "Janie Jones," "I'm So Bored With The U.S.A.," another emblematic title. The beginning of an intense career... more
Il balletto di bronzo
A short career, but together with Area, they are among the prog bands from Italy that I have loved the most. Ys is an incredible album! more
Steve Vai -Flexable
This masterful debut by Vai captures various sounds, including something that recalls the genius of Baltimore. Playing with him has been beneficial, and in this album, his value is appreciated. more
Litfiba
Huge! The first three albums are immense... more
Nick Drake
Fragile friend. more
Beggars Opera
Exceptional band, virtuoso musicians, and terrifying live performances. Stage animals: the keyboardist and the drummer are absolutely incredible. more
Steve Wynn
First with the Dream Syndicate, then followed by Miracle Three, Danny And Dusty, Gutterball, Smack-Dub, The Baseball Project, The Dragon Bridge Orchestra, and finally solo albums for a total of around forty released records... Masterful. more
Anathema -Alternative 4
Alternative 4 was released in 1998 and is the fourth studio album by the English band Anathema: it is the masterpiece. An album that represents the pinnacle of their stylistic evolution, reaching a gothic metal sound with hints of ambient progressive rock that make the sound ethereal, intimate, at times tormented and saturated with emotional tension. "Fragile Dreams," "Lost Control," and "Regret" are tracks that gift you with strong sensations, yet rich in hidden charm. Sublime. more
Blind Illusion
An unknown group to most that debuted in 1988 with the album "The Sane Asylum," merging a sound clearly rooted in Thrash Metal with well-crafted Progressive influences; the lineup featured a certain Les Claypool on bass, already unmistakable, and Larry Lalonde on guitar. more
Sparklehorse -Distorted Ghost EP
Happy ep. How beautiful is "Happy Man"? And how much more in the electrifying version "Happy Pig" with the medley ending that picks up "Pig"? Then there's another lovely cover of a piece by Daniel Johnston; after "Hey, Joe," here comes "My Yoke is Heavy." In short, a good job, a nice interlude between "Good Morning Spider" and "It's A Wonderful Life." more
Piero Scaruffi
When he dies, everyone will reassess him. To me, he is a person who knows a lot with great critical sense and balance. more
Ramones
It's thanks to groups like the Ramones that I've been distancing myself from the stale crap of progressive rock for quite a while now. Legends. more
Larry LaLonde
First, as a very young man, in Possessed; then, alongside his friend Les Claypool, in Blind Illusion. Finally, an unconventional guitarist and essential for the sonic balance in Primus. And, as further proof of his expertise in the field, he has fun with his own Mr. Frank from Baltimore cover project... Concrete. more
King Crimson
I am unable to describe such a group. A landmark first album. more
