"Exotomy, IBM-action, de-chloro-de-phenylketone, essedi-ethylation, have given birth to programming" more
Extraordinary record, but the previous "Pollution", as far as I'm concerned, is slightly better. From the following one until around '78, he won't get it right. more
As far as I'm concerned, De Gregori's penultimate album is a masterpiece. Its peak marked in the 80s (along with the subsequent EP), containing wonderful gems: in addition to the more well-known title track, "Caterina" and "La leva calcistica...", also "Belli capelli" and the (alas) forgotten "San Lorenzo". A full 5. more
Among Renato's best albums, but not the best. In fact, "Mi vendo" is one of those big classics that could be a bit overplayed, but aside from that, there are excellent tracks, with "Vivo" and "Il cielo" standing out (the latter is also a classic, but it remains a beautiful song). 4.5 more
Zazzarazzazz... zazzarazzazz... more
A grand debut for the prince, clearly better than the previous "split" with Venditti. So poetic, yet at the same time so hermetic. Aside from the title track, which we all know well, there are other wonderful pieces like "Le strade di lei," "Saigon," "Buonanotte fratello," and "Marianna al bivio." Rating 9. more
Great author and good musician. Too bad he's as likable as a lizard in your underwear. more
Another masterpiece from the Dalla-Roversi duo, but the absolute peak will be reached with the next one. more
They were truly giants. How sad to think about what Renga has become... more
Absolutely one of the best American bands (and songwriter) of all time. Great sound and great songs! more
Aside from the title track, "Proibito" and "Il volo," it doesn't seem like an exceptional album as I remembered. It will get slightly better with the next two, then goodbye Litfiba. more
Perhaps Fornaciari's last great album, although the two that followed are still commendable. "Il volo" is among his top 5 works. more
Great debut for the Battiato-Sgalambro duo. Nice little record, with several excellent tracks, but to be honest, I find it one of the less powerful works of the philosophical phase. It will definitely get better with the next two. more
Someone explain to me why this character is in the "artists" section. more
The first true innovator of Italian music. I can even forgive him for things like "Piange il telefono." more
A tuxedo, a cigarette, a pair of sunglasses, and the character would emerge. If only there were actors of this caliber today. more
One of the few actors to have navigated the decades of Hollywood without ever losing his essence, remaining true to his character while developing it through the eyes of directors like Stanley Kubrick, Martin Scorsese, Roman Polanski, and Bob Rafelson. A few minor missteps in the 2000s, but as far as I'm concerned, he's made his mark in history and can smirk as much as he likes. more
Listened to it again today. I remembered it being worse. There are some gems, starting with La storia and then moving on to Poeti per l'estate, A Pà, Scacchi e tarocchi, Ciao ciao, Tutti salvi. In short, a beautiful album that fully deserves its four stars. more
It took some time to process it. Now I simply find it stunning. more
The sequel to Titanic. I like it. more
