The title "The Soft Machine" refers to the human body, and the theme of the book is how certain mechanisms of control invade its existence. The style echoes that of Naked Lunch, which was published two years earlier. The author has included an appendix with accounts of his own morphine abuse, as a sort of metabolic disease from which he eventually managed to escape. (quoted from wiki) more

Francesco Gabbani | DeRank™: 0,01

He seems like a real smartass... he has created a banal and repetitive sound (after hearing one of his songs, you've heard them all) where he sticks on pseudo-satirical lyrics that, however, target subjects I really couldn't care less about (why should I care about mockery directed at someone converting to Buddhism, the average Italian on vacation, or conspiracy theorists? If he wants to do satire, he should focus on those who really matter)... in essence, just one of the many disappointments in our local music scene. more

"Yes, I am increasingly distracted and also more alone and fake,
and the restlessness and the bows make me an orangutan
moving with the grace of one who is not convinced
that the rumba is merely a joy of the tango..." more

Rickie Lee Jones — Flying Cowboys | DeRank™: 0,00

Famous is her love story with the singer Tom Waits, with whom she shared escapades and drunkenness. Despite the success (especially with critics), she gets lost in drugs and alcohol, hints at musical cabaret projects that were never realized before disappearing from the scene. In 1988, she reappears with "Flying Cowboys," an album created together with the late Walter Becker (Steely Dan) and the Blue Nile. more

Joni Mitchell — Hejira | DeRank™: 0,00

Ok, this album is my favorite by Joni, the title is a transliteration of the Arabic word "hijra," which means "journey," usually referring to the migration of the Islamic prophet Muhammad (and his companions) from Mecca to Medina in 622. The songs were written in the car while the singer was driving home alone after a trip made together with two friends. Among the musicians are also Jaco Pastorius on bass & Neil Young on harmonica. more
