The best review is the one right on the newspaper/cover. more
The first track would be enough to explain funk to a novice. But then there's also the second one... more
Sincere, personal, slightly psychedelic, and very original. The most commendable aspect is the presence of brass instruments and many instrumental parts that feel almost vaudeville/circus-like, even though the melodies are quite bare when they're on their own. more
It's true that the rest of their output has been on a downward trend, but when you release an album like this, it's hard to go uphill. The best prog album. more
Raw and rough sketches, others more developed. And I don’t understand what you have against Linda McCartney’s voice. I find it fully in line with the project and very authentic. more
First track is spacey, the second is almost funky, the third is pure fusion. Overall, a very enjoyable package, it sounds very analog. more
Say what you want, but this album gives me very strong emotions. more
Half ambient and half dance, here Jarre wanted to throw the fava de fora and he succeeded quite well. I really appreciate the experimentation with voices; as for the music, Jarre is always at his very highest levels even here. more
Fast, relentless, and full of so many beautiful synth sounds. more
A journey through continents and cultures while remaining firmly anchored in a dark and self-produced soul. All things considered, the best album by CCCP, in my opinion. more
An experiment in bringing African percussion back to the world of jazz, long before it became fashionable. more
The vote refers almost exclusively to the suite: precursor to the upcoming prog, it is equally light, melodic, refined, and wicked, rocking and stubborn. more
Death Grips, for better or worse, have returned to rap that violence and danger that had, over time, been somewhat lost. For this alone, they are commendable. This Money Store also has the added bonus of being a tremendously catchy album perfectly suited for repeated listens (even non-ironic ones). more
I don't know what to say... I was expecting a great album, inspired by that little gem Lucetta fra le stelle... but Limiti immediately thought to bury it all with "that stupid heart of yours always looking for love," good intentions for a textually mediocre song. What follows is pretty trivial, with the cute Il tamburino, the catchy Minù Minù, and the filler Gangsters. There are definitely some nice tracks, after all, we're still talking about Ivan; Blouson noir and Io che c'entro would be enough to place this album among the classics. The problem is that everything is contextualized within the 80s, trapping the songs in what was fashionable back then. It's not a bad album, just more ordinary and already heard. Best tracks: Blouson noir, Io che c'entro, Lucetta fra le stelle. more
How to throw away a great career... more
A handful of great albums ("Innervisions" above all for me). more
I have no words...perfect more
One step below the extraordinary "Elisir", but in the end not by much. "L'ultimo spettacolo" among his top 5 works, an absolute masterpiece. more
Ah Rino Rino, you've really done so much here... you’ve done even too much... now tell me who can write a song like Cerco... more
