Talking Heads — Remain in Light | DeRank™: 0,00

A "spiritual" job, "joyful and ecstatic, yet serious"; he noted that, in the end, there was "less Africanism in Remain in Light than we intended [...] but the African ideas were much more important to capture than the specific rhythms."

The ethno-cultural fusion that it accomplishes opens new perspectives and serves as the foundation for the multiple directions in which the music of the eighties and nineties would evolve. (cit. wiki) more

Bob Dylan — Nashville Skyline | DeRank™: 7,10

It's one of the Dylan albums I enjoy listening to the most; it's short but has some nice, relaxing songs that aren't too verbose. more

Bob Dylan — Empire Burlesque | DeRank™: 0,00

Listening to a Dylan work with Simmons and synth carpets is somewhat affecting, but since the '80s you can't come out unscathed. A decent effort, enjoyable but a step back from "Infidels." more

Steely Dan — Countdown to ecstasy | DeRank™: 6,10

Further strides for Fagen & Becker in this album, following their already remarkable debut. From this record, it becomes increasingly difficult to pinpoint lackluster tracks or dips in quality; we are already perilously close to perfection. Eight songs, each more beautiful than the last, each with its own spark, where the meticulous pop of the band perfectly blends all possible genres of music—from the "Americana" that explodes in the stunning refrain of "The Boston Rag" to the irresistible R&B/Black itch of "My Old School," passing through the Jazz of "Your Gold Teeth." Often, all these influences are actually mixed together, creating a unique style, a trademark of these two musical "POP" geniuses. If I had to choose one standout track from this album, I would say "Show Biz Kids"; that song drives me crazy. Sublime. more

O Superman (for Massenet) is characterized by the repetition, for all eight minutes, of the syllable "Ah" in a robotic vocal tone; it is the debut single of electronic music by Laurie Anderson, released in October 1981. more
