Tim Hagans — Animation-Imagination | DeRank™: 0,00

Prodigious trumpeter, well-versed in hard bop and seduced by drum'n'bass while playing in the clubs of the Big Apple. Animation-Imagination (nominated for a Grammy in 2000) marks the turning point: alongside keyboardist Kevin Hays and producer Bob Belden (a bit like his Teo Macero), Hagans improvises high registers over a series of paradisiacal grooves (Hud Doyle and Far West, featuring tabla, Fender Rhodes wahwah, and sampled Indian melisma). The melodic moments are also excellent (Love’s Lullaby). more

Orange Goblin | DeRank™: 0,00

Granite, coarse, dirty, bad. Stealing something here and there, they fiercely embody the heaviest-metal oriented side of Stoner. Telluric! more

Alice in Chains | DeRank™: 3,01

I am very fond of them; they accompany me in every situation, they are the constant soundtrack of my life and will be until the end, one of the best bands my ears have ever had the pleasure of hearing. more

Lucio Dalla — Viaggi Organizzati | DeRank™: 0,00

Re-listened to in these days (I admit, considering its release in newsstands...). Excellent album, worth re-evaluating. more

Marillion — Script for a Jester's Tear | DeRank™: 0,00

A good dose of Gabriellian chameleonism, a handful of Hammilian claustrophobia, and a few drops of Watersian misanthropy—this is the recipe for this LP, where the emotional intensity of the pains of young Fish reaches absolute levels in the intricate title track (between elegiac whispers over Kelly’s piano arpeggios and furious screams on Rothery’s electric guitar) and in the virulent Forgotten Sons, a heartfelt remembrance of the victims of the Northern Irish fratricidal conflict. more

The Korgis — Dumb Waiters | DeRank™: 0,00

Pop as it should always be: the lesson of the Beatles expanded and corrected, heart-catching melodies and vocal harmonies like a mirror aimed at the sun. Former Stackridge members James Warren and Andy Davis reveal their secrets, and Everybody's Got To Learn Sometime will take you anywhere. Too bad Zucchero has managed to make a mess of it... more

The Flaming Lips | DeRank™: 1,24

huge in the garage-psychedelic phase, interesting chameleons in the later stages, in a drift yes pop, but never trivial and colorful like a kaleidoscope more

Emma | DeRank™: 2,38

Yesssss!!! She has decided to take a break from music (and that alone is great news)... my dream of seeing her take on "art house cinema" might become a reality!! Probably without sound, though. more

Amedeo Minghi | DeRank™: 0,58

Aside from the first (decent) album in collaboration with De Gregori, there are a few small gems and a whole lot of tedious fluff that really sucks a big one. more
