steve hackett -bay of kings
His first album for classical guitar, all instrumental and acoustic stuff, of course. Here there is no orchestra yet, as will be the case in the classical albums of the '90s and '00s, and the only accompanying elements to the classical guitar are the cameos of John’s superb flute (which takes center stage in the beautiful "Kim" and "Second Chance") and the synthesizers of Magnus that replace the orchestral parts, just in a couple of tracks (especially in "Calmaria"). A perfect album for moments of quiet, filled with bucolic watercolors, enveloping atmospheres, notes like drops of dew, sometimes with an almost dreamlike sweetness, other times with a more restless, hazy grip. In the reissue, excellent additions of three more tracks, very valid ("Time Lapse at Milton Keynes" is one of the best on the album, the other two are traditional pieces). The gem remains "Horizons," a safe harbor reintroduced here, 11 years after the first time, but of course, it’s taken from Giovanni Sebastiano Ruscello; for the rest, everything is signed by Steve. The Bay of Kings is already a nice album; I have to say it’s the one I like the least among Hackett's acoustics, the only one that perhaps fails to envelop me in its atmospheres for the entire duration. Hackett will refine his style and later produce three stunning classic albums, all among my favorites in his discography: "Momentum" ('88), and with the orchestra, "A Midsummer Night's Dream" ('97) and "Metamorpheus" ('05). more

Alex Garland -Ex Machina
A foolish scientist invents an artificial woman. He conducts the Turing test to see if the robot has self-awareness. Hooray, it does, but it's also aware that this Einstein has never taken her to Dolce and Gabbana. So the machine kills the scientist and rushes off to New York to meet Versace. After all, it's just a woman like any other... more
Yoshifumi Kondo -I Sospiri del Mio Cuore (Mimi wo sumaseba)
I'm starting to write something about this film.

For now, I can only say that it remains one of the works that mean a lot to me on a personal level, this coming-of-age story where a young girl matures by cultivating her passion, to prove to herself first and then to the people around her that she is capable of showcasing her abilities by giving it her all. Every person with a dream in their head who is putting their heart and soul into achieving it and still feels very insecure should watch it; there's no regret to be had. more

Sunny Day Real Estate
The best emo band of all time. Pleasantly technical and with evident grunge influences, just as one would expect from a band formed in Seattle during the '90s. more
Pino Daniele -Mascalzone Latino
Great album, featuring beautiful acoustic guitar arrangements (in the tradition already started with the previous “Schizzechea” and the wonderful soundtrack of “Le vie del signore sono finite” by Troisi) and a nice collection of gems: above all “Anna verrà,” among his timeless masterpieces, but also “Ammore scumbinato,” “Carte e cartuscielle,” and “N’ata stagione,” for example. I also don’t mind the more “Dance” tracks. more
Rainbow -rising
Without a doubt, the best album by Rainbow and the finest example of that epic and fantastical Hard Rock/Heavy sound that would later give rise to so many monstrosities (no, not in a good way), but that does not apply to this "Rising," which is an excellent album of driving and pumped-up Hard Rock (more than standard Hard Rock, I mean) and features the best lineup of Rainbow, with a significant contribution from the keyboards, especially in "Tarot Woman" and "Light in the Black," alongside a great Cozy Powell on drums. Of course, we have the established duo of Master Blackmore, the mastermind and absolute dictator, and Ronnie James Dio as frontman and voice (dellamadonna, to stay on theme). Here there are 6 songs and they are all solid; the album is cohesive and has no weak points (of the three shorter songs, my favorite is "Run With the Wolf"), but, of course, it has a specific peak: "Stargazer" is THE track by Rainbow, their programmatic manifesto, and objectively perhaps their highest point, driven by a sublime performance from R.J. (possibly at the top of an entire career? That could be). For me, however, towards the end, it’s also a bit TOO grandiose and overblown, so much so that, to be contrarian, I’d say that my favorite by Rainbow is "Tarot Woman," a great song and a tad more "measured." Nevertheless, it’s a fantastic album. more

MaChiTiconosce: Panic in Detroit Traccia 04 in Panic in Detroit Album - 13 april 1973

Hello Debaser friends! "PANIC IN DETROIT" sounds to me like a tribute/quote from "1969" by the Stooges. Or maybe I'm paranoid. Who knows. I was reading on Wikipedia that it was inspired by my friend Iggy Pop. more

Elton John -Rock Of The Westies
"Rock of the Westies" is released just a few months after Captain Fantastic, in the same year of 1975, yet many things have changed: the band is transformed (the "Band" in the proper sense includes only Davey Johnstone and Ray Cooper, along with various session musicians including some old acquaintances like Caleb Quaye) and the album is its most roc(k)ing effort ever. The golden period had ended one album earlier; with this begins a sort of “in limbo” phase with three albums that are far from the quality of most previous works but still several notches above the mountain of rubbish that Sir Kitsch Glasses will dish out with "admirable" regularity from "Victim of Love" onward. This is still a valid album, almost entirely electric and lively (except for "I Feel Like a Bullet"), and paradoxically it shines especially in the pop single "Island Girl," which means very little to me. The remaining tracks (excluding that rubbish duet with Kiki Dee tacked on as a bonus track) are all more or less valid, some ("Medley") excellent, others less so, but the general level is good and the album is full of classic rock'n'roll and piano-rock in the Elton John style, present in all his works, only here there are more of them; some could have been trimmed by a couple of good minutes ("Street Kids") but others ("Grow Some Funk on Your Own," "Dan Dare," and "Billy Bones") are thrilling Elton John-esque rock and overall quite enjoyable. A good album, all in all. more
