Clearly Gilliam's masterpiece, one of the most unsettling films I have ever seen. more

If Tom Waits did acid, he would compose music very similar. more
Few times have I seen a singer lay out their thoughts so openly. more
They say that to get dressed, one rubs themselves with Super Attak and then rolls around in a dump. more
An artist capable of changing the style of the songs they interpreted with such conviction that they made them their own with minimal effort. Only the great ones possess this gift. more
But what kind of music is hers? Jazz? Folk? Pop? Perhaps Soul? It’s all and none of these. Outside of genres and rules. It’s the music of a talented, intelligent, ironic, passionate, strong, and vulnerable woman … To be Young, Gifted & black. more
A constantly new fighter, a spectacular character... just to give you an idea of who we're talking about... a man who, at the age of 18, killed his brother with a blacksmith's hammer, and since then that very tool has replaced the affiliate. more
I give it a 2.5 rounded down because I don't like the character. more
Forget My Baby Just Cares For Me. Those who want to capture the true essence of Nina Simone must listen to this austere, solipsistic masterpiece: just her, her ebony fingers caressing the piano, and her immense voice in the messianic crescendo of I Think It's Going to Rain Today, satin in The Human Touch, rough and archaic in the spiritual Nobody's fault but mine, fragile to the breaking point in I'll get around without you very well. Excellent bonus tracks. more
The evolved Neder-Pop starts here: more noble than Shocking Blue, less kitschy than Ekseption, technically related to Focus but with a penchant for chart-topping singles. In this debut, at least three tracks made history, with Jerney Kaagman's wild perm ensuring the image. Soon, she would also refine her voice for the two subsequent Prog-Masterpieces, influencing other vocalists, Siouxsie in particular. more
The badass version of the wrestling fighter Triple H...Triple G! more
Riding the wave of success from Ain't Got No-I Got Life, Simone continues to explore the new standards of pop rock. And so we have a Suzanne transformed into a poetic calypso, Turn! Turn! Turn! brought back to its gospel roots with a female choir, a Beatles-like Revolution completely reinvented into a gritty protest song, and the title track that may even surpass the original by the Bee Gees. It concludes with a spine-chilling Dylan trio (especially Just Like Tom…). more

A guy who doesn't mince words... among the best (if not the best) Italian rappers. more
The first album for ECM by Chick Corea's group shifts away from Davis' Jazz Abstractions toward a more ethereal and melodic sound, slightly foreshadowing the fusion of Weather Report post-'76. Following him are the trusty Stanley Clarke, Joe Farrell, and the Moreira couple (Airto and Flora Punim) who bring a joyful Brazilian scent (e.g., in the bossa What Game Shall We Play Today) that wonderfully blends with Corea's light yet caliente touch on the Fender (as in the flamenco ecstasy of La Fiesta). more
