Peter Sellers | DeRank™: 0,00

Immense actor, from the surrealism of Being There to the contagious madness of Hollywood Party. Also an excellent musician, his ukulele performance in Commoner's Crown by Steeleye Span is a fabulous cameo in pop music. more

Hant
An intimate album, emotionally engaging, sentimental in the highest sense of the term, without ever falling into the cloying. more

Mike Oldfield — Ommadawn | DeRank™: 0,06

In the fertile seclusion of Hergest Ridge, with a remarkable cut-and-paste job, Oldfield creates a shimmering tapestry that continuously shifts between ethereal and oppressive moments, juxtaposing humble folk instruments (harps, bagpipes, pan flutes) with hordes of overdubbed guitars. The crescendo of the first part is memorable, driven by the force of African drums alongside the ritual singing of female voices and the ecstatic dance of the guitar. On Horseback is a final invitation to join him in his madness. more

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

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" | 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

One Direction | DeRank™: 2,62

I didn't even know of their existence until now (and even now I'm not really sure they actually exist), and I'll keep my distance from them, but let's be clear, I'm absolutely sure they are worth this beautiful 1! more
