Caetano Veloso — Fina Estampa | DeRank™: 0,00

It is a beautiful album, perhaps one of the most successful in Caetano's now long career. It is a record that once again manages to say new things; the Bahia singer-songwriter returns now with a new album dedicated to new compositions, signed both by him (which is the case most of the time) and by others. more

Moreno Veloso + 2 -Music Typewriter
Stanlio
Unlike his father Caetano, Moreno embraces the tropical tradition yet colors and fills it with electronic sounds, noises, and dissonant arrangements that create stunning contrasts with the warmth of his voice.

"Music typewriter" is a little masterpiece full of fragile and subtle songs that will make you get up from wherever you are relaxing, be it on a beach or in a city bar.

Samba, bossa nova, Latin American ballads, rhythm 'n' blues, jazz, drum 'n' bass, funk, loops, and noise converge into a single sound that evokes and shakes both firmness and sweetness. (cit. mescalina.it) more

Neil Young — American Stars'n Bars | DeRank™: 3,00

Let’s say it wouldn’t be a 5, the album is somewhat uneven, the first part feels a bit rushed with leftover material from past sessions, rather simplistic lyrics... then come Like a Hurricane and Will to Love, and that’s more than enough for a full rating. more

First collection of KC

The tracks are mostly identical to the versions included in the albums, with some exceptions:

"Moonchild" from "In the Court of the Crimson King" is shorter, that is, without the long improvised section of the original version.

"Cadence and Cascade" from "In the Wake of Poseidon" is about a minute shorter.

While "Cat Food" features the version, also shortened, released as a single in 1970.

Finally, from the track "Larks' Tongues in Aspic - Part I," which lasts over thirteen minutes on the eponymous album, only the concluding part is extracted. more

King Crimson -Three of a Perfect Pair
Stanlio
I n d i s p e n s a b l e

It became famous because it was divided into two distinct sides: the first side contained the more accessible tracks; the second, however, contained tracks that were more experimental.

It was a kind of favor reserved for King Crimson fans who only enjoyed the catchier songs, thus preventing the listener from skipping the songs they did not like. more

The "Trouser Press Record Guide" reports that the album is centered around the 25th anniversary of the publication of "On the Road" by Jack Kerouac.

The album's title is also due to the strong inspiration drawn from writers of the Beat Generation, such as Allen Ginsberg. more

King Crimson — Discipline | DeRank™: 0,00

I n d i s p e n s a b l e

Discipline is the first album after a seven-year break; it is an eclectic record, very close to the sound of the Talking Heads' "Remain in Light," to which Fripp and Belew had recently contributed.

Disturbing for those who were used to the early King Crimson, it is now essential like "In the Court of the Crimson King," "Larks' Tongues in Aspic," or "Red," blending typical '80s new wave sounds with the heavy and dark atmospheres of the previous decade.

King Crimson — Red | DeRank™: 0,00

Immediately after the release of Red, Fripp announced to the press that King Crimson had "ceased to exist," and shortly thereafter he retired to the community founded three years earlier by Bennett, the International Academy for Continuous Education in Sherborne, Gloucestershire, where he remained for almost two years without contact with the guitar or the music world.

King Crimson effectively disappeared until 1981.

The connection between Fripp and the legacy of Bennett, Ouspensky, and Gurdjieff was destined to remain constant, profoundly inspiring both the artistic and personal choices of the guitarist, up to the present. more
King Crimson -Larks' Tongues in Aspic
Stanlio
I n d e l e b l e

In Larks' Tongues in Aspic, part two, the electric guitar chords of the introductory theme, with their violent and martial rhythmic figures, "allude" (by the admission of the author himself) to the opening bars of "Les augures printani - Danse des adolescentes" from Igor Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring.

In 1974, the producers of the famous soft-core film "Emmanuelle" used, without Fripp's permission and without crediting him as the author, a re-orchestrated version of this piece to accompany almost all the sex scenes, including three rapes: the controversy was resolved with a settlement in favor of Fripp, who received compensation. more

The album cover is a painting from 1967 by the London artist Tammo De Jongh, titled: 'The 12 Archetypes' or 'The 12 Faces Of Humankind' and depicts twelve human faces, each of which symbolizes an archetype, according to a peculiar physiognomy theorized by the homeopath and radiesthete John De Monte, who based on his theories, had commissioned TDJ the twelve portraits. more
