Franco Battiato — Sulle Corde di Aries | DeRankā„¢: 0,00

Another experimental work, this time more focused on the musical side. It innovates without destroying, stepping outside the norms of the music of the time but still being listenable. Less involved than Pollution. more

Placebo — Sleeping With Ghosts | DeRankā„¢: 0,00

The second masterpiece. Special Needs and the title track would have fit perfectly in Without You I'm Nothing, Taste in Men showcases how to blend rock (almost punk) with electronics, This Picture is pop with masterful elegance. more

Jean Michel Jarre — Equinoxe | DeRankā„¢: 0,00

In total disagreement with those who say it's a sad attempt to revisit Oxygène, in my opinion another great album, even superior to its predecessor in the first tracks. Part V is another unforgettable hit. more

Bjƶrk — Medulla | DeRankā„¢: 0,00

The experimentation of an entirely "a cappella" album is commendable, but it fails to leave a lasting impression. Aside from gems like Oceania, there is a noticeable lack of something to accompany the voice (namely instruments), and in the end, it results in being tedious. more

Bjƶrk — Vespertine | DeRankā„¢: 0,00

Here in fully chill territory, another great job, but not as much as the previous one. more

Phil Collins — Face Value | DeRankā„¢: 0,00

Overrated album by most, only for the presence of a beautiful track like In The Air Tonight. Predominantly pop work, developed only in part for the rest. more

Phil Collins — Both Sides | DeRankā„¢: 0,00

It doesn't leave a mark. Shallow pop. more

Dave Gahan — Paper Monsters | DeRankā„¢: 0,00

Work that closely resembles the Depeche sound. You can feel the absence of Gore. This wonā€™t happen in the next Hourglass. more

Mike Oldfield — Tubular Bells | DeRankā„¢: 0,00

The immortal debut album, as extraordinary as it is symptomatic of the fact that Oldfield poured all his best into it, never managing to repeat himself, despite other great albums like Ommadawn and The Songs of Distant. It is unfair that the initial theme is remembered only as "The Exorcist music." more

Mike Oldfield — Five Miles Out | DeRankā„¢: 0,00

I work with highs (the Taurus II suite and Orabidoo) and lows (the title track), overall neither bad nor good. more

Mike Oldfield — Ommadawn | DeRankā„¢: 0,00

One of the few works that almost manages to match Tubular Bells, but by a hair's breadth remains inferior. Beautiful nonetheless, rich in quotes and influences blended with the best of Oldfield. more

Franco Battiato — Clic | DeRankā„¢: 0,00

The last major work, completing the triptych formed with Pollution and Sulle corde di Aries. A work similar to its predecessor, here too experimentation is fused with more accessible melodies. The final track swings open the doors to the path that Battiato will later take (extreme experimentation). more

Mike Oldfield — Hergest Ridge | DeRankā„¢: 0,00

Itā€™s always difficult to replicate a masterpiece, and Oldfield does his best with Hergest Ridge, but he doesnā€™t quite succeed. The album is still excellent, but it lacks the inspiration and variety of Tubular Bells, which give way to a compactness that ultimately ends up feeling repetitive. Still, congratulations. more

Depeche Mode — Playing The Angel | DeRankā„¢: 0,00

With this work, we return to the Depeche sound, with few influences from Exciter. Similar to Ultra. more

DEPECHE MODE — speak & spell | DeRankā„¢: 0,00

Due to Vince Clarke's leadership, they release a predominantly dance album, featuring gems like Just Can't Get Enough and New Life. A band at its dawn. more

Klaus Schulze — Irrlicht | DeRankā„¢: 1,29

Schulze's masterpiece, refined and innovative, new and unique. Mythical, but I feel less attached to it compared to my "loves" Moondawn and Mirage. more

Placebo — Meds | DeRankā„¢: 0,00

Very, very beautiful, although maybe not quite up to the level of the previous one. Here the listening experience is more complex, the tracks more experimental, and in the end, it turns out to be somewhat less smooth in certain parts. With Meds, we return to the sound of WYIN, Infra-Red is still elegantly pop-rock. The closing track is stunningly emotional. more

Mike Oldfield — Tubular Bells II | DeRankā„¢: 0,00

Failed attempt to adapt Tubular Bells to more modern sounds. There are a few highs, but mostly it's an album that doesn't leave a mark. more

Muse — Black Holes & Revelations | DeRankā„¢: 0,00

Their most commercial album manages to be so with great style and gives us a couple of gems worthy of the two previous masterpieces. We're naturally talking about Assassin and Knights of Cydonia. Invincible reminds of Falling Away With You, while Starlight is their first pop track, but very beautiful. more

Klaus Schulze — Cyborg | DeRankā„¢: 0,00

I am less attached to it, but together with Irrlicht, it is the most innovative and sought after. more
