Those 17 minutes of the title track (among the most WILD things of the '90s, for sure)... if you play them on a Pioneer A-209R amplifier cranked up high... first, they’ll blow out your speakers. Then they’ll level your room. And maybe they'll even generate an earthquake of magnitude 7.5 with the epicenter in your stereo, burying you alive. more
Ready for the worst insults - but if "Presence" makes me yawn, I've always liked this album so much more. And damn, there might be some filler but there's "Carouselambra", there's "Fool In The Rain" which tells the story of drumming just like "Home At Last" and "Rosanna" (and drummers know it well), there's "All My Love", there's "I'm Gonna Crawl"... if only we had more awful albums like this... more
Probably the strongest of all, Not a song alike to another. Mogol, Panella... I could have written the songs myself and then he would have taken care of them. Unrepeatable. Thank you, Lucio. more

The voice, the guitar, the heart... behind the Power Pop-Garage Revival that swept through Australia in the second half of the '80s, and behind the Stems, the Someloves, and the DM3, there's always him... Dom Mariani. more
From the fruitful union between the Stems and the Lime Spiders, here come the Someloves. A splendid example of timeless Australian Power Pop. Open the treasure trove and you'll be immediately captivated... how can we not mention the irresistible "Melt"? more
Come on guys! I'm talking to my generation (the 80s), no one has reviewed the Stems? Crystal-clear power-pop-garage-revival, just like the sound of the guitars in this little masterpiece. Australia has produced not only AC/DC or The Church but also Dom Mariani... more
The Portuguese Cristiano is undoubtedly a champion. But until he wins a World Cup as the top scorer by scoring a brace in the final, all after two consecutive ruptures of the patellar tendon, any comparison with Luiz Nazario is completely out of place. more
I had snubbed the very first Byrds in favor of their Psych-Folk-Rock masterpieces from '66 to '68. Listening to their debut again, I found a nice album, pleasant and full of gems that are either excellent covers (Dylan being the most honored) or original tracks (especially Clarke). The legendary guitar of McGuinn (Jingle-Jangle), accompanied by the intertwining of Clarke and Crosby's guitars in a texture that influenced so many bands in the '80s and '90s (minghia the R.E.M.). Essential, innovative, immense. more
A modest artist, he deserves what he has. 2.5 stars. more
