The Neville Brothers — Yellow Moon | DeRank™: 0,00

There was a time when, even in Italy, the family fairy tale of the Neville Brothers was recounted in every specialized magazine, celebrated in (almost) every record store, and disseminated in the manic and economical form of self-recorded cassettes.
It was the time of "Yellow Moon," the blessed year of 1989...
A pleasant souvenir, even though there's a bit of bitterness for what today seems like unfulfilled promises. (cit.rockol.it) more

The Beatles — The Beatles | DeRank™: 0,55

Known by most as the "White Album."
The Beatles had just returned from their trip to India and the experience of transcendental meditation at the Rishikesh retreat, under the guidance of guru Maharishi.
The ashram in Rishikesh was crucial for the compositional and instrumental growth of the four musicians: the serenity and free time allowed them spaces for creativity and moments to compose new songs, while the absence of electricity forced them to use acoustic guitars, refining their instrumental skills and learning finger-picking technique from Donovan (another disciple of Maharishi) which would be used in more than one track of the album, played a fundamental role in the creation of the record.

The Beatles — Revolver | DeRank™: 0,55

For the first time, the discography of the Liverpool group features elements of psychedelic rock that would later become predominant, said studio engineer Geoff Emerick: “From the day it was released, Revolver changed the way records were made for everyone; no one had ever heard anything like it…”
The truly lysergic tracks that make "Revolver" a genuine prototype of psychedelic rock come from Lennon:
- I'm Only Sleeping - with guitar tapes recorded backward;
- She Said She Said - inspired by an LSD trip;
- Doctor Robert - which speaks of a "lysergic doctor"; and above all - Tomorrow Never Knows - the quintessential psychedelic piece, inspired by the Tibetan Book of the Dead, the song is based on a single chord of C Major. (freely quoted from wiki) more

Domenico + 2 — Sincerely Hot | DeRank™: 0,00

Domenico + 2 is a Brazilian collective, now on their second outing, formed in 1998 from the minds and desires of Moreno Veloso (the son of Caetano), Domenico Lancellotti (of Calabrian descent, offspring of the composer Ivor Lancellotti), and Alexandre Kassim (a collaborator of, among others, Arto Lindsay and Caetano Veloso).
While the previous Music Typewriter, credited to Moreno + 2, showcased Veloso Jr. as the protagonist, this time it is Domenico's turn to navigate the blend of Brazilian tradition and retro pop. (source: sentireascoltare.com) more

This single (too beautiful) was recorded for me by a music professor, who was also a drummer, that I met when I was working as a quarterly at the Biennale in Venice in '86, and he had placed it at the end of an album of, um, Jimi Hendrix since there was still a bit of tape left... more

Caetano Veloso — Tropicália 2 | DeRank™: 0,00

It is an album by Brazilian composers Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil.
The record was recorded between Rio de Janeiro and Salvador de Bahia in the spring of 1993, released 25 years after the album "Tropicália: ou Panis et Circenses" from 1968, which the two artists had created and is considered the musical manifesto of the movement called Tropicalismo or Tropicália. (cit. wiki)
The album represents the coexistence of many different cultures that are, seemingly, at opposite ends, such as the Brazilian ones (a unique phenomenon in the world): a hybrid album, full of geographical references from across the country, from the arid and poor northeast to Bahia with Itapoa, from Ipanema to Brasília – a nightmarish capital built in the desert...

Caetano Veloso — Noites do Norte | DeRank™: 0,00

With “Noites do norte,” the man from Bahia chooses to take us back to his country, through less-traveled roads and paths.
The work is indeed sometimes harsh, a bit wild and primitive, aimed at highlighting the African origins of a large segment of the Brazilian population.
Thus, we find ourselves facing compositions that are often dry, filled with many percussions, often counterbalanced by clear and sharp melodic lines.
All of this seems to clash, especially during the first listens, but then “Noites…” sneaks in like a “Cobra coral” and bites us, injecting a very sweet poison called feeling. (cit. kalporz.com) more
