Tony Britten
Great director and absolutely brilliant conductor!! more
Jim Henson -Labyrinth
Labyrinth | Where everything is possible more
Dinosaur Jr.
I'm not bothered by something from the first album because of the sound, but soon it bores me, the same old electric broth of lullabies, watered down by 30 years of career. more
Jacula
A legendary and occult group more
Antonius Rex
The dark and esoteric side of Italian prog more
Frank Zappa
With Frank Zappa, those hungry for music risk indigestion. An artist who was perpetually a "work in progress," his artistic vein systematically never replicated itself, so eager to explore new escape routes that by the end even the synclavier wasn’t enough for him. He was always a step ahead of the time he was living in, and those who followed him had to... chase him down, due to the density of musical elements he proposed. Frank Zappa is a "beast" that you will never tame, an infinite kaleidoscope. There is only one possibility: to surrender and peacefully let oneself go to what each individual can partially understand. This is the "condemnation" of geniuses. more
Vanilla Fudge
Not even a definition???! Are you kidding me?!? Of course, their history, quite bizarre, didn’t help them, but they were among the very first to blend hard rock and psychedelia. They weren't ashamed at all to do covers, and they were very, very good (theirs!). They get the fifth point for their moral value in terms of esteem and friendship (technical skills and sound are beyond discussion). In 2007, how do they "celebrate" their fortieth anniversary?! By making a cover album of Led Zeppelin; that band which opened for them on the American tour at the end of '68, beginning of '69; there would be the problem that those Led Zeppelin as "support" only did it for a few nights and then the roles reversed. Others would have gotten very angry, but not them—they admired them, became friends, Appice taught the tricks to the young Bonham, and together they had a blast! This is true friendship that in this field is not hard to find, but practically impossible. Oh, I almost forgot, the rhythm section was decent and Stein was sufficient too ahahah! more
Ultravox -Vienna
I prefer the less commercial and robotic first two albums to the high-level commercial symphonism of Vienna. more
Embryo
From East to West, geography on a staff. more
Andrew Lloyd Webber -Jesus Christ Superstar
Perhaps the most honest and human version of the facts. more
Lil Wayne
I don't know what so many hip hop listeners see in him, but they say he's good, so whatever. 3 based on trust. more
Erykah Badu -But You Caint Use My Phone
The love that intertwines and disperses on those damn smart gadgets to the steady rhythm of a "tu tu tu." more
The Seeds -The Seeds
A Sunday spent with records like this is a Sunday well spent... more
Ben Harper -Live From Mars
Nice and good, a bit paternalistic at times. more
ELECTRONIC -ELECTRONIC
A mix of familiar things with a new name and shape. more
The Cure -Disintegration
Disintegration is the nostalgia for what has not been and for what will be. more
Ray Charles -Ingredients in a Recipe for Soul
1963. Ray Charles releases this beautiful album for ABC in which he interprets 10 great classics (or traditional if you prefer) of song; classics already at that time, in '63. From "Over The Rainbow" to "Ol' Man River," passing through "That Lucky Old Sun" to "You'll Never Walk Alone," Charles's interpretations are, as always, exceptional, with his stunning voice reaching incredible emotional heights. Another great album from an immense artist. more
Le capre a sonagli
While we wait for the Velociraptor's return to Earth, we can settle for the Bell Goat. more
PROCESSION -FIABA
I'M REFERRING TO THIS ALBUM, THEIR SECOND RECORD RELEASED IN '74, WHERE, IN ADDITION TO REFINED PROG, WE HAVE THE INSERTION OF SAX AND PERCUSSIONS BY SILVANA ALIOTTA. AFTER AN ALBUM RECORDED IN '72 TITLED FRONTIERA, WHICH ADDRESSED THE THEME OF EMIGRATION WITH A HARD-PROG TOUCH, HERE WE HAVE AN EVOLUTION TOWARDS MORE CLASSIC PROG, HIGHLIGHTED BY THIS TRULY BEAUTIFUL TRACK "UN MONDO SPRECATO," FEATURING A FAIRYTALE-LIKE VOICE. more
