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

At 13, I believed it was the Paradise of music; now I’m 16 and I still see it "partially" the same way I did when I was a child. 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 | 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

Asofy | DeRank™: 0,00

Sorry. But these, whatever you want to say, are one of the greatest miracles of Italian music and, since there are not many, sooner or later I will put up a stellar review. A dream, it’s all an unsettling dream, an intimate reflection on death, supernatural and otherwise. The genre is something that, after all, will forever remain my (who knows why) forbidden dream. more
