American band. Authors of an excellent "Grown In USA" in 1970, American psychedelic rock that nurtures European progressive sprouts. A good job. HOMER Grown in USA 01 - 02 - 03  more
My favorite of them. more

Always excellent fusion. more
Everyone should listen to it at least once. more
the only truly decent rock record from Roulette, nothing to complain about the rest of the catalog more
There is genius, mad yes, but nonetheless genius. more
I must have been 18-19 years old back then. A very nice collective, which is actually just one guy surrounded by 3-4 bouncy Mauri Repetti. I still like Smack My Bitch Up and Diesel Power with Kool Keith, but the rest not so much. From the earlier stuff, I only have a vague memory of watered-down but super flashy d'n'b that screams THE NINETIES very loudly. The later ones are horrendous, although some beats aren't bad. He should have teamed up with a serious rapper, been a bit more prolific, and dared a little more. Oh well. more
Clones of Dissection. more
The true pioneers of the so-called groove metal. more
The dark side of melodic death. more
No definition for one of the biggest bands of the '80s and beyond? HUGE. 2 EPs one cooler than the other and an equally great album. David Yow is my favorite vocalist. He can’t hit a note, he screams, he vomits, he drinks like four alcoholics combined, there isn’t an album up to DOWN by the Jesus Lizard that he recorded sober, and yet he gives me chills. Rarely has the Blues been made so filthy, bastard-like, and punk. more
I bow to you, my King. more
When electronics do not compromise quality and interpretation: Mr. Flauto and the little magician Peter John Vettese have briefly been a brilliant duo, the tracks flow rich with passion, warming the synthetic musical ideas, and there’s plenty to go around. To be listened to without any prejudice. more
Many know of the existence of Free solo thanks to 'All Right Now'. They have made better songs in my opinion. 'Oh I Wept' is one of those. more
A Dramatic Turn of Album more
So much stuff. more
First album with Mike Mangini on drums, definitely at a much higher creative level than recent albums, although the production in terms of drumming isn't up to par and there's an excessive self-referentiality. more
It includes two excellent suites and a commendable ballad that are worth the price of the album, but also some rather uninteresting and often forced tracks. more
