Valerio Scanu
a magnificent voice, no wonder he deservedly won the Sanremo festival. It's true, he didn't write many of the songs himself, but he's someone who delivers emotions and chills. more
Dari
Unfortunately, it's been a while since they've been heard from, yet they are among the most punk things that have ever existed in Italy. Dari forever more
Max Pezzali
Maximum respect more
Overkill -Bloodletting
A step back from the previous "Necroshine," but we are still faced with another excellent product of classic thrash. A CD that is a pleasure to listen to. 7/10 more
Colour Haze -Colour Haze
A bit too drawn out, but psych/stoner as it should be. 8/10 more
Electric Light Orchestra
great pop melodies, great arrangements. I've always had a great, unhealthy passion for this band. Everyone has their skeletons in the closet. more
The Strokes -Is This It
Disk shit, ridiculous "band." A girl gave it to me (who else? "Oh my God, Juliaaaaaaan!!! How coooool!")... Stuff that's as sterile as it is useless. If this was the rebirth of Garage Rock bands like Pussy Galore, Oblivians, and even Reatards were Satan himself. Five idiots more interested in poses and cool outfits than in music. Sold it off in a flash. more
Patto -Hold Your Fire
Untameable blues voice, liquid beautiful guitar, great rhythm section, jazzy rock. The highest possible rating. more
Tommy Lee Jones -Le Tre Sepolture
The greatest Tommy Lee of all time. Period. A true masterpiece of the "frontier" genre, among the most beautiful of the last decade; the cherry on top is the presence of the late Levon Helm. more
Stanley Kubrick -Lolita
Oppressed by its own length, but above all (when all is said and done) by the absolute untranslatability of Nabokov to the screen. All the brilliance, all the Genius of the novel gets lost here. Nevertheless, it was by no means terrible. more
Ang Lee -Lussuria - Lust, caution
Fascinating and tragic period depiction, with only a hint of self-indulgence on the aesthetic side. Extraordinary performance by Tony Leung. Perhaps not entirely deserving of the Golden Lion won, but a fantastic film. more
Black Tambourine
Seminal cult band that, at the dawn of the 90s, produced a handful of lo-fi shoegaze tracks. Just ask about The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart, The Manhattan Love Suicides... more
Emis Killa
Great rhymes, great emotions. Mind-blowing rap. more
Marracash
One of the great Italian rappers and among the greatest of all time. And, said by a man, a real stud. more
Alessandra Amoroso
Great voice, great emotions. Today Italian music is shaped by Amici, the debaseriani should check the sales charts and then see which way the audience stands. Great Ale, keep it up. more
Fabrizio De André -Fabrizio De André (L'Indiano)
Musically the most American of his works, it contains five gems: "Quello che non ho," "Fiume Sand Creek," "Hotel Supramonte," "Se ti tagliassero a pezzetti," and "Ave Maria," a reinterpretation of a well-known Sardinian prayer. The rest still adheres to medium-high standards. L'Indiano. more
Fabrizio De André -Vol. 3
4.5. Great album, even if it's far from the masterpieces of the seventies. Nevertheless, there are some gems, like "Amore che vieni, Amore che vai," "La ballata dell'Eroe," "La Guerra di Piero," and "La Canzone di Marinella." Watch out for the gorilla! more
Fabrizio De André -Canzoni
4.5. Regardless of what they say, I still find it a great album: it contains some of the most beautiful Italian covers, such as "Suzanne" by Leonard Cohen and "Delitto di paese" by Brassens. Ah, "La Canzone dell'amor perduto" among the top 10 Italian songs of all time. more
Jamie Saft Trio -Trouble: The Jamie Saft Trio Plays Bob Dylan
Mr. Zimmerman revisited (with a focus on the nighttime atmospheres of "Oh Mercy" and "Time Out Of Mind," conveniently) in a jazz-instrumental key for piano/Hammond, double bass, and drums - Saft, Cohen, Perowsky. And Mike Patton interpreting "Ballad Of A Thin Man" in his own way is worth the price of admission for the whole album... more
