Code Blue
Splendid Power Pop-New Wave trio led by Dean Chamberlain.

Burzum -Hvis Lyset Tar Oss
If I limit myself to saying that it's a great album, not his peak but great nonetheless, no one (I hope) can arrest me for terrorism or possession of firearms... more
Marillion -Fugazi
In my opinion, this is the masterpiece of the Fish era. More mature in sound than the first, more experimental than the nevertheless remarkable "Misplaced Childhood." more
Jeff Beck Group -Truth
A seminal group in the history of rock blues, which alongside their cousins the Zeppelins, kicked off (according to many) hard rock in its early form. Beck showcases all the qualities he already displayed with the Yardbirds, while Stewart spits fire and brimstone with his voice. A really great record... more
Johnny Thunders -So Alone
Tears disc for me. After releasing two of the coolest albums ever [the self-titled by the New York Dolls and L.A.M.F. with the Heartbreakers], Johnny delivers his third masterpiece in '79, his first solo effort. And, to be fair, the last one where he still manages to maintain a semblance of stability before his life and career get completely consumed by too much "living the Rock n' Roll".... more
Web -I spider
A spectacular album steeped in mystery: an R'n'B band transformed by the immense Dave Lawson into a Prog-Act with a dark and enveloping sound, laced with Jazz and the Dark Sound so characteristic of the 1970s. An underground gem. more
The Pretty Things -Emotions
It may not be on the level of the irresistible Get the Picture, but I really enjoyed this one as well. Cleaner, less raw and wild, more mature, more melodic, and vaguely psychedelic—it's the best possible transition between the PT of 1965 and those of S.F. Sorrow. Not everything lives up to the masterpiece, but it has some unforgettable tracks (for example, the opening track, "House of Ten," and "My Way"). For me, a very beautiful record, 4 generous stars. more
The Rolling Stones
After Exile, it's better to let it go, but the poker dealt between '68 and '72 is legendary, 4 essential albums that have now become an integral part of my DNA. I'm not fond of certain forced and misplaced comparisons, but surely the Rolling Stones crushed them like cockroaches hehe. more
Uochi Toki
Incredible texts that deeply analyze behaviors, thoughts, ways of doing things, amid a thousand mental gymnastics and many other nice little things that I really enjoy. more
Enrico Ruggeri
An exceptional yet overrated singer-songwriter, currently the best in Italy, able to write true poetry, a complete artist on all fronts who spans many genres in his songs, if only there were more like him. more
The Rolling Stones -Beggars Banquet
The beginning of the Stones' peak period (or messiness). The path is set: Rock 'n' roll, Blues, Country, R&B, Folk, with Jones' influence increasingly diminished, and the (likeable) diabolical duo becoming ever more in control. A masterpiece. more
The Rolling Stones -Beggars Banquet
The best of the best toppers. more
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Once you enter the Cave of Nicola and his wicked little friends, getting out is tough! more
Nirvana -With the lights out
I really appreciated how this wonderful retrospective was curated (by Endino) to showcase the spirit of Nirvana: it reminds me of a reflection made by the Wipers about the fact that only with something extremely raw can one achieve a crystalline purity. more
Sigur Rós -( )
I have a conflicted relationship with this album. I must say it’s beautiful, but I can't listen to it all the time. Back then, I found it soporific. Now I love it. And to think it's the only album of theirs that I adore; the others I've listened to leave me completely indifferent. No information about the cover. The booklet consists of semi-transparent white pages of paper, like the kind used to wrap cheese. Strange but quite fascinating. more
Orka
Damn! more
Genesis -Nursery Cryme
Wonderful from the first to the last note, especially highlighting the great The Musical Box and The Fountain of Salmacis... I've let them gather too much dust lately, I think I will listen to them much more. more
Orka
Mysterious group from the Faroe Islands ???. The equipment used in their work is entirely homemade and reprocessed in the studio. They have two works to their name, the second one "Oro" is a small masterpiece of dark avant-pop with an industrial heritage. ORKA - Tað vakrasta
