Tony Williams Lifetime
Jazz on trinitrotoluene. Believe It the best. more
Locanda delle fate
Why did they only release one album back in '77, while hundreds of musically insignificant characters release one every year, on a regular basis for several years??? more
Sonic Youth
It's been quite a while since they've produced anything decent, but the work they churned out in the 80s is essential. more
Miley Cyrus
I came like a demolishing baaaallll! more
Los Lobos
Those who think that these Los Angeles chicani are just the ones from "La Bamba" have a nice collection of masterpiece records to listen to. One out of all, "Kiko". more
James Brown -I Got The Feelin'
Although his masterpieces are quite different, this album remains an excellent and very enjoyable listen. James Brown is an absolute guarantee. Good album. more
Nimal
Balkan avant-rock. more
Nine Inch Nails
They’re not my type and I can't say I like them. However, "Downward Spiral" has an undeniable charm (morbid and perverse, yes, but irresistible..) and Trent Reznor is an enigmatic and remarkable figure. Besides, they have a really cool name... more
The Sound -From the Lions Mouth
With a "Jeopardy" behind it, the risk was to produce a faded copy. Instead, this LP matches it, and perhaps even surpasses it in certain moments. Pure Liverpoolian gloom from the early '80s. Adrian Borland among the most expressive voices of the New Wave. more
Rip Rig & Panic -God
Voted by Lao Tze as the best album of 1981. Essential. more
James Brown -Star Time - 4 CD Box Set
a colossal box of 4 CDs. besides livin' in america, there's EVERYTHING James Brown more
Yorgos Lanthimos
What a mess you've made. more
dEUS -Worst Case Scenario
Wonderful album. Among jazz experiments, beautiful ballads, and stunning pop gems. more
Edoardo Bennato -Non Farti Cadere Le Braccia
Excellent debut for the Neapolitan singer-songwriter. Although he is still somewhat immature in certain aspects, he is already great. He is probably the most "intimate" of Edo, thanks to ballads like "Una settimana, un giorno," "Lei non è qui, non è là," and especially the masterpiece "Un giorno credi." more
Jeff Beck -Blow by Blow
One of the best albums by the guitarist from Wallington, a fantastic melting pot of different styles, produced, among others, by such a George Martin (!). Grandiose covers of She's a Woman and Cause we've ended as Lovers. more
Nina Simone -In Concert: Emergency Ward!
Half live, half in the studio. This applies to the two Harrison covers. Absolutely fantastic "My Sweet Lord," an intense gospel that is also an anti-militarist poetic recital, by the way in front of an audience of soldiers. Intimate and heartfelt instead is "Isn't It a Pity," just voice and piano. more
Peter Hammill -Fool's Mate
It seems to me that Hammil has declared this is the only album he wouldn't change a note of. And indeed, for all its atypical aspects, and perhaps precisely because of that, it is one of his most beautiful works. Vision and The Birds are both masterpieces for me. more
Little Feat
Great Los Angeles band known for their unmistakable hot and eclectic rock, just like their surreal album covers. more
Nina Simone -Nina Simone & Piano
Forget about My Baby Just Cares For Me. Those who want to grasp the true essence of Nina Simone must listen to this austere solipsistic masterpiece: just her, her ebony fingers caressing the piano, and her powerful voice in the messianic crescendo of I Think It's Going to Rain Today, silky in The Human Touch, raw and archaic in the spiritual Nobody's fault but mine, fragile to the breaking point in I'll get around without you very well. Great bonus tracks. more
