Paolo Conte -900
"...like an old cook in a kitchen
scolds the ghosts of gourmets
in a slow lullaby? ..." Only he could conjure up the ghosts of gourmets, unmatched. more
Paola & Chiara
The musical proposal has simply eclipsed in the face of the lesbo-incestuous suggestions that have always been ridden (not only in a figurative sense…). It’s hard to be credible when you insist on such an image. Anyway, they are part of that large group of girls who, inexplicably, prefer a music-singing career over a pornographic one… Girls, you’ve chosen the wrong profession!! more
Mauro Repetto
A musical figure destined to enter legend, his story could remind one of Syd Barrett, given the aura of mystery surrounding the lives of these two characters since they left their respective bands. He is the perfect exemplification of the saying "chi lascia la strada vecchia per la nuova sa quel che lascia ma non sa quel che trova." His solo album is undoubtedly better than all the musical output of Max Pezzali since 1995. more
Bigas Luna
Aside from a couple of decent films, it was really terrible. more
tUnE-YaRdS
One of the "New Kinda Woman" of post-indie. Creative and eccentric, schizo and sincere; with her lo-fi hodgepodge of indie, folk, jazz, world, hip-hop, and avant-garde, Merrill 'tUnE-YaRdS' Garbus helps to finally give a stable shape to post-pop. more
Primus
And now Tim is back too. more
Buck 65
More Hip than Hop. Richard Terfry, aka Buck 65, is, in spirit, a bohemian. A Tom Waits of rap, injecting alternating doses of beatnik/junkie poeticism and healthy sarcasm into his loose rhymes. A wizard of turntablism whose experimentalism strays from MC orthodoxy but not from the genre's canons. more
Yngwie J. Malmsteen
When Bach and technical metal merge to break through the sound barrier. The legendary "Rising Force" is an erupting volcano. more
Goblin -Profondo Rosso- The Complete Original Soundtrack Recording
Piece of a SOUNDTRACK FROM HELL, period. Then musically I prefer "Suspiria" but that's another story, due to a personal reason that has nothing to do with either film, but really... here we are on levels of INSTRUMENTAL INTELLIGENCE (which is not just technique, not at all) that are almost embarrassing… more
Elvis Presley
The brother of the DEAD PRIMOGENITUS who inspired a reasonably famous Album. more
Ultravox -Ha! Ha! Ha!
Great tracks like 'The Frozen Ones', 'Distant Smile', and 'Hiroshima Mon Amour'. I've been on the lookout for a good live album from the Foxx era (maybe with the 'Systems Of Romance' lineup), I've asked around here but nobody's paid me any mind. The version of Hiroshima I prefer is Ultravox! - Hiroshima Mon Amour (1977)

Elvis Presley
The king of music more
Tim Buckley -Tim Buckley
A great debut for the troubled and fragile Californian genius, probably his most "canonical singer-songwriter" album; beautiful, yes, even though it’s almost endearing. And to think that Tim was nearly my age when he wrote "Valentine Melody" or "Song Slowly Song". 4 solid stars. more
Psychic TV -Dreams Less Sweet
When Genesis P-Orridge disbanded Throbbing Gristle, he created this project dedicated to strange sounds of all kinds; Barrettian chants sometimes emerge from the post-industrial chaos only to be sucked back into it, in a sort of magma between the industrial and a black mass complete with tortures and human/animal sacrifices. May Uncle Aleister be with you, Gen. more
Todd Solondz -Happiness
Stunningly cynical more
Jimmy Carter
Giangiacomo Carrozziere, former president of the United States, Nobel Prize winner for fun, peanut producer, for the mean detractors: "Jimmy Who??" more
Humble Pie -Performance Rockin' The Fillmore
Live among the most important of the '70s, outstanding work by a band at the height of popularity, with two great guitarists like Marriot and Frampton, explosive and badass hard-blues... more
Sid Vicious
The true symbols of punk are different. If we compare Joe Strummer and Joey Ramone, they would make him look bad just by raising an eyebrow. However, I don't mind his "customized" cover of "My Way" at all... more
Public Image Ltd.
"First Issue", "Metal Box" and "Flowers Of Romance".....5 just for this. more
Jupiter
Jupiter, or Giove. The largest planet in the solar system after Galeazzi. more
