Emerson, Lake & Palmer -Brain Salad Surgery
One of the great concept albums of progressive rock and the zenith of ELP. The centerpiece is the hallucinatory circus allegory of the fantastic "Karn Evil 9": a dazzling show of violence, human tragedies, sex, and rock’n’roll. The "brave new world" is the society of the spectacle, "The show that never ends!". The musical performance of the three musicians is breathtaking, and the interplay between keyboards, bass, and percussion reaches the stratospheric levels of the suite "Tarkus". A masterpiece! more
Emerson, Lake & Palmer -Trilogy
From the very cover, with the three heads in one body, it’s clear that this is the LP where the individual personalities of the trio harmonize best. The mysterious “The Endless Enigma” is a perfect minisuite. “From The Beginning,” a laid-back ballad with a Latin flavor from Lake, is rightly one of their most beloved pieces. “Hoedown” is a lively and sunny instrumental. “Trilogy” is beautiful as well, and how could it be otherwise when Lake sings a romantic melody with Emerson on the piano? more

David Cronenberg
Thinking head, iron stomach, and tough as nails... too bad he exorcized his obsessions so late. more
Sirenia
The embodiment of uselessness, or rather, the embodiment of a band. more
Ken Loach
A veteran director who, despite having few peaks, has been able to maintain an impressive level of quality and thematic coherence over time. He tells the dignity of workers with overflowing humor and a bitterness that never turns into resignation. more
Aki Kaurismäki -L'uomo senza passato
A bittersweet fable that denounces the futility of those social structures that can only generate unhappiness, where man, as a subject, becomes an object. Kaurismäki is a Ken Loach without the anger; his characters do not burn down construction sites but resist the distortions thanks to their innocence. more
Talk Talk -Spirit Of Eden
Hollis begins to pack for Mars. Those who have always loved this band and its eccentric frontman with his unkempt look cheer; finally, the '80s can be shoved up the millions of cans of hairspray used by Simon Le Bon & Co., and those who can't understand it... tough luck. more

the only group with sunglasses, arm outside the window and modesty at a thousand more
James Senese
The great James. more
Gianni Brera
One of the greatest "philosophers" of post-war Italian football. more
Gianni Brera
A precious asset for the Italian language. To call him a "sports journalist" is quite reductive... more
Mika
If they literally decided to stick it up the ass of some homophobe on this site, my rating would be a solid 5. more
The Dandy Warhols
Nice group of noisy, drugged-up fools (and probably communists). 3 and a half. more
Civico 23
In any case, better than Civico 88. more
Mika
We hope it disintegrates soon like the homophone mineral. more
Soundgarden
One day, Rusty Cage hit me and I never got back up. more
Tricky
It started strong with three works of increasing quality (Maxinquaye, Nearly God, and his masterpiece Pre-Millennium Tension). He could have stopped there. Then, the process would be reversed... more
Roy Orbison
Singer-songwriter of remarkable craftsmanship. more
Civico 23
"Sounds of the past with modern enrichments" is something that has been done more or less since 1970. And I don't know who they are. more
