King Crimson — Discipline | DeRank™: 0,00

Farewell to the British romanticism of the past and welcome to the wild young blood of the Yankees Levin and Belew. Thus are born the new KC new wave musicians who look to the minimalism of Reich and Balinese Gamelan. They enchant with the dazzling mathematical precision of the title track and Frame by Frame, the hypnotic exoticism of The Sheltering Sky, the roaring onomatopoeia of Elephant Talk, the urban funk of Tela Hun Ginjeet, and the chaotic fury of Indiscipline. More "normal" is the country ballad Matte Kudasai. more
King Crimson -In The Wake Of Poseidon
Marco Salzano
It was supposed to be a double (with McDonald's Birdman suite). As it stands, it inevitably faces comparison with the debut, especially in the initial sequence, but Pictures is more jazz, Cadence more pop, and the title track (in which the 12 archetypes of the cover are listed) more solemn. Now a producer with Sinfield, Fripp employs a more dramatic use of the mellotron, especially in The Devil’s Triangle, drawn from Holst's The Planets. Tippet's dada piano shines on Cat Food, an anti-consumerism satire. more

Kate Bush — Aerial | DeRank™: 0,00

I return everything to the family (with brother, husband, and son) after 12 years. It's, like Hounds of Love, divided between a 1st CD of songs (highlighted by the reggae-like King of the Mountain dedicated to Elvis, the Renaissance ode to son Bertie, the atmospheric trip-hop Joanni, which evokes Joan of Arc, and the piano solo A Coral Room on the elaboration of grief) and a 2nd with a pastoral suite that, through the Latin jazz of Sunset, culminates in the vital pulse of Aerial complete with distorted funk guitar. more
Franco Battiato -"Clic"

Franco Battiato — "Clic" | DeRank™: 0,00

Battiato avant-garde with the iconoclastic dadaist zapping of Ethika fon ethica (later widely abused in subsequent albums) and the relentless sequencer of Propiedad Prohibida (the legendary theme of TG2 Dossier) softened only by the genius insert of strings and oboe giving it the ethnic touch of Aries. In the gates of memory, distant pianos resurface, liquid keyboards, furious saxophones, cutting guitars, and disconnected percussion. The spiritual quest is not missing in No U Turn: "To know myself and…” more

King Crimson — Islands | DeRank™: 0,00

The nebula on the cover aptly represents this brief hypothesis of Crimson. The Mediterranean sensuality of Formentera Lady (inspired by the Odyssey) resolves into the anguished Sailor’s Tale (featuring Fripp's sensational "electric banjo"). In contrast, the title track is a serene watercolor in which a few strokes of diluted color outline the metaphor of man as an island. The Letters and Prelude rework old pieces. Ladies of the Road is a perverse blues with Beatles-esque vocal harmonies. more

Curved Air — Second album | DeRank™: 0,00

Launched by the success of the single Back Street Luv (4th in the UK), this Second Album is evenly divided between Way and Monkman, with the former's tracks being more balanced and structured (whether they are romantic lieder like Jumbo or ethereal puppet dances like Puppets) and the latter's being more bizarre and irregular (the dark humor of Bright Summer Day '68) but also more ambitious and experimental (the stunning final Piece of Mind in which Kristina brilliantly recites some lines from Eliot). more
Rush -a farewell to kings

Rush — a farewell to kings | DeRank™: 0,00

Recorded in the bucolic landscapes of Wales, the sixth album by Rush sees an overall refinement of their power rock. The contrapuntal baroque organ-guitar intro of the title track evokes a once-heroic world now in decline, much like the puppet king on the cover lost in the surrounding industrial desolation. A return to the future, instead, with the space-rock Cygnus X-1 and a powerful 4/4 riff that dives from the interplanetary void into the atonal whirlpool of the black hole. more
