Fabrizio De André -Canzoni
It is considered a transitional album as it closes the era of the four concept albums and foreshadows, with the unreleased "Via della povertà" (lyrics and music by Bob Dylan, translated by De Gregori at the time of Folkstudio, co-signed by De André), the collaboration with Francesco De Gregori and an openness to Anglo-Saxon folk/rock influences, which will manifest even more with the albums composed together with the Veronese singer-songwriter Massimo Bubola. more
Fabrizio De André -Storia di un impiegato
In an interview with Corriere della Sera in 1974, FDA said: "... written in a year and a half of tremendous turmoil and when it came out, I wanted to burn the record. It was the first time I declared myself politically and I know I used a language that was too obscure, difficult; I know I failed to express myself clearly."

The musical value of the record will be fully recognized by much of the critics only in the 1990s. (cit. wiki) more
Fabrizio De André -Non al denaro non all'amore né al cielo
This is also a concept album inspired by some poems from the Spoon River Anthology of 1915 by Edgar Lee Masters (even the rocks know this by now, at least those with a minimum of culture...). more
Fabrizio De André -La Buona Novella
This is a concept album inspired by the reading of some apocryphal Gospels, in particular the Protoevangelium of James and the Arabic Gospel of the Infancy (ugh, for me, a real pain in the ass...) more
Fabrizio De André -Volume III
Here are two translations from Georges Brassens: Il gorilla & Nell'acqua della chiara fontana. more
Fabrizio De André -Tutti Morimmo A Stento
The work "Tutti morimmo a stento cantata in si minore per solo, coro e orchestra" is one of the earliest examples of a concept album in Italy. FDA said in an interview with L'Europeo in 1969: The record is already a best seller; it is among the girls, students, and middle school teachers... more
Fabrizio De André -Volume I
Almost all the songs from the album were also printed on 45 RPM records at the time. more
Fabrizio De André -Tutto Fabrizio De André
To be honest, it would be a compilation of tracks already released on 45 rpm records starting from 1963. more

The Jimi Hendrix Experience -Axis: Bold as Love
Just before the completion of the album, Hendrix forgot the master tapes of side A in a taxi, and they were never found. So a quick remix of side A had to be done, which Jimi didn't particularly like; he later stated that he wasn't very satisfied. However, the band's bassist, Noel Redding, claimed that this album was, in his opinion, the best of the three released. (uhm, musicians, go figure...) more
The Jimi Hendrix Experience -Are You Experienced
US version remixed in stereo format with Hey Joe on side A.
In 1987, it was considered the fifth best album in the history of Rock.
The band in that 1967 was made up of Jimi Hendrix on guitar and vocals, Mitch Mitchell on drums, and Noel Redding on bass. more
Ivano Fossati -Lampo viaggiatore
On drums & percussion, son Claudio (then thirty...) more
Claudio Lolli -Ho visto anche degli zingari felici
The title of the album (and the eponymous song) is a quotation from the film by Yugoslav director Aleksandar Petrovic, I Have Also Met Happy Gypsies, from 1967, and in the last part, there are four verses of three lines each, freely reworked from Peter Weiss's text "Cantata del fantoccio lusitano." more
Claudio Lolli -Aspettando Godot
Paraphrasing Samuel Beckett, I cannot assert while listening to this first album by CL "Waiting for Godo..." more
Consorzio Suonatori Indipendenti -Tabula rasa elettrificata
"An exceptional album...
In 'Bolormaa' there’s a wonderful phrase: Monito terrorista che la retta è per chi ha fretta...
T.R.E. is, to put it succinctly, an apocalyptic album.
However, we should be mindful of the use of this word in its original meaning of revelation.
An album that belongs to a Nordic existential conception, with an idea of revolution not in its destructive sense.
A revolutionary album."
(quoted from Franco Battiato) more
Fabrizio De André -Le Nuvole
One of the emblematic pieces shared with Ivano Fossati describes the enchanting preparation of a Ligurian dish, and in the finale, the chef exclaims: "mangè mangè nu séi chi ve mangià," cursing all those who will consume his 'A çimma... more
Fabrizio De André -Anime Salve
His best work (just because he won’t have the chance to create others up there or down there or wherever the heck!) more
Big Brother & The Holding Company -Cheap Thrills
The Big Brother may have been terrible, and it’s true that at a certain point they were kept away from Janis so they wouldn't ruin her career. They certainly don’t appear here, and anyway, the spotlight is undoubtedly on Joplin's sumptuous voice for a lavish album that definitively crowns her! more
