Blur | DeRank™: 0,00

Britpop was a harsh blow for British alternative rock (especially for noise/shoegaze) and for music as a whole. Fortunately, Blur managed to prove their worth just as this dreadful musical trend came to an end. It's a real shame they broke up at the peak of their creative output. more

Blur | DeRank™: 2,81

Extraordinary and somewhat underrated band. They deserve Olympus at least for the 90s. A perfect expression of pop in all its facets, with few missteps in taste and rhythm. Instead, there are many worthy b-sides and hit singles, from the classics "Girls & Boys" and "Song 2" to the moving "Universal" and "Out Of Time," now classics. They didn't invent anything, but they fully realized their art. more

Triumvirat — Spartacus | DeRank™: 0,00

The famous gladiators' rebellion set to music by a German trio shaped like the Nice. Despite a few little thefts at the expense of ELP (Trilogy, Brain Salad), the concept has a lively flair of its own. The Deadly Dream Of Freedom is a beautiful piano ballad with a memorable chorus. But the best comes with the powerful The March To The Eternal City (featuring the arabesques on Moog from the wild Italian Improvisation) and with A Broken Dream, the final clash with the Roman legions. more

Italian print from the '70s, bought at a summer market. Not in excellent condition but not in shambles either. more

Club Dogo | DeRank™: 2,48

An excellent start (Sacre Scuole, Mi Fist, Penna Capitale). After that, just more and more show-off - the real plague of rap. Every now and then, they still manage to slip in a good song among all that crap on dance beats. more

BARRACUDA BLUE
Having taken possession of their budget kitchen, the Thorn/Watt couple pulls out bossa nova, guitar-pop, smooth jazz, and a sprinkle of Canterbury melancholy from their shopping bags for their first intimate dinner. An unparalleled British Love Affair of the mid-'80s. more

Kraftwerk — Radioactivity | DeRank™: 0,00

Hutter and Schneider play with the polysemy of the title and the 1930s décor of the cover to highlight the influence of the two modern molochs: the great generator - servant and master - and the mega radiant antenna. Between the robotic voice of the former and the radio impulses emitted by the latter, two prototypes of synthetic pop songs (Radio Activity and Airwaves). It concludes, with a bittersweet note, Ohm Sweet Ohm, a radioactive mantra for mellotron and vocoder. Caution Radiation Kraftwerk. more
