I find it genius; some of his films I couldn't digest, like Todo Modo, too visceral for me, but all it took was seeing a quiet countryside setting to dispel any doubt about his talent. I believe that movies like The Tenant and Shining wouldn't be the same without Petri's film. more
First and finest solo album by Emerson, who uses for the soundtrack of Argento's film some themes intended for a second Piano Concerto. The leitmotif is a melancholic and unsettling melody in minor, which is then revisited, varied, and developed by an orchestra with accents that are sometimes romantic, sometimes expressionistic. Our Verdi is referenced in the tight jazz rock Taxy Ride (Nabucco) and in the choral Mater Tenebrarum (Requiem). Aside from this, we are closer to Komeda than to Goblin. more

I consider these shredders not so much musicians or composers; it's difficult for me to associate the art of music with a finger gymnast. Their guitar technique would be excellent as rehabilitation for the hand following a loss of function due to a stroke. Gymnasts of the 5 fingers. I'm just wanking off... more
In reality, he has one major flaw: he hasn’t realized that he’s a mediocre guitarist. But precisely from a technical point of view. He should go to a good teacher who can start teaching him a bit of scales, a bit of harmony, have him do exercises with a metronome and so on; otherwise, he will always remain a guitarist who knows how to play just one scale, on one chord, and out of time! more
Pure crap, just like Casaclown, a fake fascist movement and 100% Third Worldist. Sieg Heil, Iannone. more
I believe there is some irony in all of this, I don't know where, but it's there! more
Somebody That I Used To Know is marketed to the extreme, even remixed by my grandma, but it's a great track, no doubt about it. more
Deserves a 5 just for having been the bassist for Area and Francesco Guccini. more

"You're Puttin' Me On" is worth a career. more
I discovered it by chance in Dam on a rainy afternoon in mid-August, while I and a certain someone sought refuge at Foam, lost in the dark Keizersgracht. The Boss captured with his horse put me in a good mood until now, to say one out of a hundred. Violante Placido in "The American" is one of the greatest feminine miracles we've been gifted. more
Once they performed in Leningrad, there was no one there to listen to them. After two minutes, a delegation of workers arrived and started pummeling them... they ran away crying like little girls. more
The nocturnal nightmares of an insomniac, raw and sickly atmospheres that will fulfill themselves in the lucid autism of the subsequent vol. II. rating 7 more
1974, Battisti steps out of the boundaries of pop and timidly ventures into the outskirts of the vast universe of progressive. The result is a concept album full of warmth, from the first lights of the city dawn to the sunny afternoons of the Reatina countryside to the sunsets of a Brazilian beach...beautiful from the first to the last note. rating 8 more
If in 1979 Syd Barrett had recorded an album with these sounds and these lyrics to counter The Wall, we definitely would have had a better world. Strange that Harvest also had Wire in their roster, don't you think? more
