Nicolas Winding Refn
One of the best directors around. So many beautiful works, from the toxic trilogy of Pusher to the exceptional Drive, from Bronson to the latest Only God Forgives, not to mention the mystical Valhalla Rising. more
Joy Division
among the most well-known expressions of their time more
Depeche Mode -Ultra
An album born out of difficult circumstances following Alan Wilder's departure: endless recordings, David on the brink of death, and the sound of the record reflects all of this. Songs like "Barrel of a Gun," "Home," "It's no Good" carry that dark, depressed, deep aura typical of the entire album... there's no room for brightness. My Depeche Mode album. more
Crime & the City Solution -Just South of Heaven
In short, an incredible EP. None of the six tracks is less than excellent, all pieces with immense intensity for a wonderful work. Great band and truly a great record. more
Stan Ridgway
put another quarter in the jukebox pete, but don’t play that one with the sad trombone, because tonight I’ll be walking alone. more
Robert Johnson
''Pleeeeeeeeease, Stop Breakin' Down'' more
Max Richter -24 Postcards in Full Colour
The first question to ask is whether this is really a record. I mean: generally, a record is understood as a structured work, with a more or less defined connection between the tracks. 24 Postcards is something else, memories in music, to be precise. It is a social-psychological experiment that is different for each listener. The idea is brilliant, and the brief compositions are equally so. more
Forest Swords -Engravings
Another "revolutionary" record (for me, of course), a sprawling album for all the shadowy subgenres (read "dark") of electronic music. Dreamy, disorienting, beautiful. more
Julia Holter -Loud City Song
A unique and exceptional album, it stands out in the contemporary music landscape, especially in the female scene. Incredible voice and a highly skilled composer. An indecipherable genre that constantly shifts between electronic, progressive, jazz, dark rock (in the style of the beautiful Nico), and so on. In short, it's an album that must be listened to and an artist to be adored. more
Entombed
That ''Hardcore Punk'' sound in ''Left Hand Path'' drives me crazy. Besides the masterpiece ''LHP'', there are albums that are gems: ''Clandestine'', ''Wolverine Blues'', ''Morning Star'' or even ''Unreal Estate''. Then there's also ''Serpent Saints'', which is a good album but doesn’t completely convince me. Anyway, they are all examples of excellent music played with guts. more
Nicolas Winding Refn
The first two Pusher and Drive are totally overrated. In contrast, Valhalla Rising, Pusher 3, and Only God Forgives are stratospheric. more
Slint -Spiderland
Today, this little "disc" turns 23 years old. Honor more
Gorguts
Revolution more
Obscura
Progressive Death Metal done the right way: PERFECTLY more
Ahleuchatistas
Math-Rock, Jazz, Progressive and if we want Avant-Garde, syncopated rhythms and fast time changes. A great band (or rather duo). more
U2 -The Unforgettable Fire
The album that carries U2 towards maturity, not only in Music; guided by the wise hands in the studio of Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois, the Irish boys give us an elegant album that is much less immediate compared to their worthy predecessors. With that unforgettable blaze that accompanies each new listen of mine: a kind of homecoming that I will never tire of hearing and experiencing...forever. more
The Police -Outlandos D'Amour
There's still some punk in this album that makes it quite special. Personally, I'm crazy about "Next To You," but everything is very nice. more
Joy Division
Too deep to feel immediate, if one has the courage to surrender to their music, the soul shatters only to reassemble, enriched. Immense. more
Palms
Isis+Deftones = Post metal. A perfect album of remarkable sonic impact. Palms - Future Warrior [Official Music Video]

Jamiroquai
Updated funk in pop version. Plenty of style but also a few genuine gems. more
