Exceptional band, virtuoso musicians, and terrifying live performances. Stage animals: the keyboardist and the drummer are absolutely incredible. more
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
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
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
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
When he dies, everyone will reassess him. To me, he is a person who knows a lot with great critical sense and balance. more
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
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
I am unable to describe such a group. A landmark first album. more
The first album simply made history thanks to Syd. more
They managed to release "Red Medicine" after an album like "Repeater"... 5 to life! more
Among the most valid and representative exponents of the Paisley Underground that emerged in the early eighties in the U.S.A. A short but intense career with at least two albums to be remembered in history: "The Days Of Wine And Roses" and "Medicine Show"... And then that live album, that their live album!!!! Exemplary... more
Overrated or underrated, it matters little to me. Albums like Revolver and Abbey Road I find very valid in the pop sphere. more
The only album that really drives me crazy is the first one; personally, I don't find the others even remotely comparable to this. more
Beyond her qualities that I cannot describe, I like to remember her absolute ease of movement in proposing complicated and rapid patterns: it seems that she never struggles at all!!! Essential. more
Kick Out the Jams is undoubtedly the greatest live album ever, alongside Live/Dead. Devastating. more
Among the best garage rock bands. more
Be careful, guys! Even if you’re seasoned psychonauts with LSD, try it, but be aware because it really messes with you, like the best stamps out there. Be cautious and take it with experienced people and away from any potential dangers. more
Unlike LSD, which was important for the psychedelic scene, heroin has been (unfortunately, as it is physically devastating) significant for the proto-punk scene, initially for the Velvet Underground and then following... psychedelic colorful journeys contrasted with the dark and perverse nihilism of heroin... more
The greatest of all, the greatest and most useful discovery of humankind after penicillin. LSD, your body becomes a vessel that takes you to extrasensory sensations; without it, psychedelic music... pff... we were stuck with that light stuff from the Beatles smoking little joints. more
