King Crimson -Earthbound
Compilato by Fripp with poorly edited snippets from the jam sessions of the American tour of Islands, it's a bootleg that sounds bad even in the "restored" edition. Free rein is given to the torrential (yet sometimes excessive) verve of Mel Collins and the delirious solos of Ian Wallace, while Fripp ventures into blues rock meanderings like a fish out of water, and Burrell attempts embarrassing scat singing. Nonetheless, the fierce version of 21st Century is worth a listen. more
George Harrison -Living In The Material World
With a less elaborate production than the Spectorian one, Harrison here reflects on the difficulty of experiencing transcendence in the "material" world, balancing between the torrid funk of the title track and the meditative interludes of sitar, tabla, and flute. And while the sarcastic Sue Me, Sue You Blues references the legal disputes among the Beatles, the core of the album consists of a series of ballads on religious and/or romantic themes, like Give Me Love, a typical joyful Harrisonian prayer, and the catchy Don't Let Me Wait. more
Phil Ochs
Bob Dylan steals his thunder. more
Camel -Breathless
A classic album with no flaws: everything is in its right place, an exceptional attention to sound, even the easiest tracks shine on their own. How can one not love Latimer's long solo in Summer Lightning over the unstoppable drumming of Ward? Class that has never been sold enough. more
Linkin Park
I would give them an award just for managing to do bad with any genre tackled in their 5 albums and in nearly 20 years of career: from nu metal to pop rock, from electronica to alternative rock... What a phenomenon! more
AC/DC -Back In Black
An album with a sound all its own, one that only AC/DC can reproduce: rhythmic, dirty, and electrifying.
An album that has managed to bring the hard & heavy world closer to the radio world and that has succeeded and still continues to excite almost everyone, fans and non-fans alike... more
Buena Vista Social Club -Buena Vista Social Club
Sublime, an album that perfectly reflects the sound one expects from an all-Cuban band and allows us to immerse ourselves in the sounds and colors of Havana... Bubbly; sparkling; cheerful! more
Ricky Martin
he has a hole in his ass, like Julia Roberts' mouth... two chasms worthy of the Caribbean blue hole more
Claude Debussy -La Mer / Jeux / Le Martyre de saint Sébastien / Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune (Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal feat. conductor: Charles Dutoit)
Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun: an absolute reference in the history of music. A piece of transcendent beauty, sweet yet profoundly deep, superficially grandiose but dense with warm eroticism, the ABC of all modern music. An immense gentle colossus of ten minutes. more
Linkin Park

Claude Debussy -La Damoiselle Elue Prelude a Apres-Midi dun Faune Iberia - Abbado
The chosen damsel, one of Debussy's early works, inspired by the Pre-Raphaelites, enchants with its enveloping orchestral nuances, an almost Renaissance female chorus, a soprano that anticipates Pelléas. Wonderful. more
Linkin Park
One of the greatest alternative bands of all time. Constantly evolving and always ready to divide public opinion. more
Ricky Martin
It's so boring and annoying that even AIDS doesn't want it. In my opinion, it will die of boredom after listening to its own little songs that have been screwing with us for the past ten years. Not to mention its wannabe face that I would very gladly play baseball with. more
Richard Benson
Poor thing... more
Tom Waits -Night On Earth
A so-so album... perhaps the worst of all those released under the TW label. more
Bull Brigade
Authors of one of the greatest Oi! albums of all time. more
Razzia
The best German hardcore punk band I've heard so far. more
Love
Forever Changes is an album that can evoke poignant empathy. more
Wilco
One of my favorite drugs of recent years! more
Robert Plant -Band of Joy
greatest album great courage by robert more
