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
John Zorn -Xaphan: Book of Angels Vol. 9
...it is well known that when you look to the East, enormous discs always seem to appear. If you also have the slight added value of being a Genius, then the odds increase even more. Odd times, drums and percussion, electronics, Arabic scales from the first to the last minute. In 10 years, not many albums have come out better than this. more
Fabrizio De André -Anime Salve
The last moving masterpiece by De André, perhaps the album that most encapsulates all his 30 years of career. For those who travel in a stubborn and contrary direction. more
Bitch Magnet
FUNDAMENTALS. Debaser fans, where are you? Why is this page so desolately empty? more
Sonic Youth -Bad Moon Rising
My favorite by Sonic Youth, although up to and including Daydream they are practically perfect and remain great up until Murray Street. An immense album. more
Kate Bush -Lionheart
Meh... it really doesn’t convince me much. Compared to the just previous debut (fabulous), this is a big step back. Fortunately, a good ten steps forward will follow. Nice album, but nothing more for me. more
Bitch Magnet -Ben Hur
The asshole older brother of "Spiderland." If you love Slint and have never heard of Bitch Magnet (at least "Umber," come on), you should start having a little self-reflection. more
Wolves in the Throne Room
My splendid wolves from the forests come to me in the throne room... more
Devin Townsend
Ladies and Gentlemen... take off your hats! more
Florence and The Machine
Florence and the Fucking Machines more
Florence and The Machine
Really a great band, with a recognizable sound, yet never truly the same throughout their discography. Live, they are an absolute blast. more
Múm -Finally We Are No One
Sweet and icy electronics. The music that comes from the cold. Beautiful album. more
APHEX TWIN -RICHARD D. JAMES ALBUM
Disc that I would take to the Moon. Chaotic beats and spastic fibrillations. Masterpiece. more
