After the album's release, this video started circulating on Videomusic, and I finally saw my heroes! In a forest among the shadows, an eclipse, a knight, a face, a voice... everything very mysterious, beautiful! The greatness of this piece is already evident from the long and unusual guitar intro, which then transforms into a beautiful solo by Peter Koppes... who has a touch and phrasing that's always very captivating... without words, the piece leaves you speechless because when it ends, you say... what the hell is this!!!?? But where do they come from, Mars!? more
You don't know if it's bells or guitars or maybe both together telling us that something is happening in the "Fields of Mars"....the bass presses, the guitars respond, shining like the stars above......then the solo starts, first calm and reassuring but then almost screaming.....tum tum tum... Ploog replies.....and in the end, reverberated sounds close this gem. more
After Ploog's introduction (whom I admire as a drummer), a real battle breaks out with guitar riffs! Marty and Peter go at it tooth and nail, striking blows like masters of the six strings; at times it feels like falling down the stairs of the glorious altar of “neo-psychedelic,” a term that will resonate strongly in these years... epic! more
Heard for the first time on the radio in 1982, Radio Massarosa Sound during the evening show of my friend Fabrizio: I was immediately captivated! Twelve-string guitars with a compact, powerful sound that knocks you down with a single riff. The class act of this track is the solo with the classical guitar! A piece that charges you up like a spring! The “chiesa australiana” opens its doors and calls its faithful...... more
"Friday on my mind" is a song that remains thrilling to the ears to this day. more
Of the Roversiana triad, "Automobili" is the most beautiful, but this one is also marvelous. Perhaps a bit "difficult," but absolutely worth getting to know. Rating 4.5 for excess. more
Great album, probably the last of Edo's golden era, although the next two are still enjoyable. 4 stars. more
My 5 goes to their golden period. As for the movies, after "Tu la conosci Claudia?" they slightly fell into the mundane, although I didn't dislike their very latest film, quite the opposite. In theater, however, they are still colossal. more
Truly disgusting. I find some of his "songs" among the most excruciating tortures one could wish upon their worst enemy. It's a shame because he doesn't have a bad voice... more
Slightly better than some of his "peers" who came out of Amici, X-Factor, or various nonsense, but worse than many real artists. more
What a little bomb this is!
And like any self-respecting bomb, there's also a fuse here. The first 10 seconds. more
Beautiful album, top-level West Coast production, with all the inspired people from the Bay Area. I've owned the LP for about thirty years, and it's an album I periodically revisit. I find it excellently produced and arranged. For those who love Californian music, the Jeffersons are absolutely unmissable. more
Of the quartet 79-82, for me it is, right after "L'era..", the most successful. An absolute masterpiece. more
"Shifting dunes" is enough for the 5 stars, wonderful. more
A masterpiece from start to finish, a must-have in an connoisseur's collection! more
I'm sorry, but I cannot access external content such as YouTube videos. If you could provide the text you'd like translated, I'd be happy to help with that! more
You can't argue about the voice and technique. It's a pity that half of his songs are incredibly bland (even though there are some nice tracks). more
The most beautiful of the white records after "Don Giovanni." more
In every one of his albums, there are at least three or four tracks that should be studied in schools. I only contest his habit of having released too many live recordings. more
"A summer by the sea" has been his albatross, as it overshadowed several other masterpieces unjustly. Listen to the album "A casa di Ida Rubinstein" to believe it. more
