Marvin Gaye
I love him. If after taking me out to dinner he had sung "let's get it on," well, I would have been all in. more
The Love Substitutes
Take a picture of a Belgian city, preferably Flemish. The town square, with cobblestones, tall and narrow buildings all around. Bars with gazebos covered by tarps, people walking around, on foot, by bike. A winter sunset, a dark sky barely lit by the last rays of sun. Imagine a background music for such a scene. Well, whatever you imagined is wrong. In the background, there are these 4 crazies. And they are killing it! more

Black Flag -My War
One of the best gifts I've ever received is the first press vinyl (unique? who knows) of this piece of ignorance. (*Thanks, Sara*). My War, I Can't Decide, Nothing Left Inside... an immense record. more
Little Tony
Nothing transcendental... But I only ask my peers or those of my generation for one favor: please do not commemorate him or mourn him on Facebook or elsewhere, since the only time you cared about him was when he did that cheesy thing with Gabry Ponte. more
In Flames
Great. more
Alice
One of the best Italian singers of all time. more
Kelly Rowland
Doll with drool on her lips. The music? What music? more
Little Tony
Never heard any of his pieces and I don't think I've missed out on anything (3 is a non-vote). more
Videotape -Doggy Door
A record about Surf, the Heat of Summer, and Love.
How to make the Beach Boys coexist with MBV through incredibly sensual indie electronics.
An excellent appetizer that leaves a curiosity to discover an artist who I believe is remarkably talented. more
Alice -Gioielli Rubati
Good cover album. Some tracks are definitely better sung by her (the pieces from Orizzonti perduti and Mondi lontanissimi), others still do nothing for me (the three from La Voce del padrone), and all the others are interpreted beautifully (especially Prospective and Luna indiana, a piece with incredible charm here with unpublished lyrics well recited by Carletta). A great way to say goodbye to Battiato and, starting from Park Hotel, begin the mature phase of her career. more
Little Tony
A WHILE AGO I WROTE "if that heart attack had taken him away, we would be better off and we wouldn't see him on TV advertising DANACOL!" now instead.... "we will be much better ... starting today." more
Free -Free
Cover whose sight can make your tongue itch, a worthy container of a rich half-hour of excellent Rock Blues. 'Woman' is a truly great track. more
Solution .45
I was introduced to metal. more
Little Tony
Aside from those 3 great little songs ("Cuore matto" by Totò Savio, "Riderà" captured in '66 from the French "Fais La Rire" by Hervé Vilard, and "La spada nel cuore" by Mogol-Battisti) which he alone interpreted, he certainly won't be missed artistically. All in all, he was a harmless good soul. more
Little Tony
I found him inexplicably likable. Of course, I never felt anything. more
Franco Battiato -Mondi Lontanissimi
3.5, rounded down though. It also has nice songs, but the turn (like in the previous one) entirely focused on electronics and ultra-synthetic sounds I really like very little, I just can't stand the arrangements and they really penalize the album, what a shame. Moreover, I prefer the versions of Alice for Treni di Tozeur and Chanson egocentrique, and Il re del mondo is pulverized by its excellent original version. Decent, anyway. more
Hawkwind -Anthology 1967-1982
Interesting and substantial collection of artifacts more
Hawkwind -In Search Of Space
4.5... a record I would have loved to play on, and brag about having done it. Oh. more
