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
GRANDIOSE HARD ROCK ALBUM BY THIS ROMAN BAND HAVING ONLY THIS RECORD RECORDED IN '72, BUT THEY HAD ALREADY GIVEN US A TASTE WITH THE SINGLE "TUTTE LE COSE" FEATURING A COVER OF JETHRO TULL.
ALL THE TRACKS STRIKE FOR THE HARMONY AMONG GUITAR, BASS, AND DRUMS, WITH ONLY A FEW ACIDIC FLASHES OF KEYBOARDS.
THE FIRST TRACK "IMPRESSION" AND THE INSTRUMENTAL "IL DIALOGO DI UN PAZZO" ARE TRULY FORMIDABLE IN THEIR GUITAR/BASS/DRUM INTERWEAVING. more
When the POOH recorded this album in '75, they were already at odds with their producer G. LUCARIELLO. After the absurd failure of their previous album, also from '75, UN PO DEL NS..., they were forced to record this album, which I find beautiful, indeed superb, at least for half of it! It’s true that it doesn’t have the grandeur of either PARSIFAL or UN PO DEL, however, as I said, at least half of the album is beautiful, and I’m referring to the two instrumentals QUINTA STAGIONE/FORSE ANCORA POESIA, which are truly remarkable, in addition to the tracks QUEL TANTO IN PIU, NINNA NANNA, UN POSTO SULLA STRADA, and CARA BELLISSIMA. After this further commercial flop, though not artistic, the group took a turn, recording POOHLOVER, which in my opinion remains their third best album of their career, besides starting a self-production that has continued to the present day. Cheers, Ugo. more
Perhaps the best hard rock band of all time more
Degenerate children of Crash Worship. Micapizzefichi. more
One of the most blissfully carcinogenic bass sounds in the history of rock 'n' roll (para-Scandinavian). more
Great album, perhaps his best solo work, which also marks his return to the scene after spending a few years locked away at home, with alcohol and heroin as his companions in life. The style and musical visions are quite different from the previous Clapton; here, Slowhand slightly strays from the canonical rock-blues to embark on a different sound, very similar to JJ Cale's Tulsa blues, with influences of Cajun, reggae, and Caribbean music. An excellent piece of work, without a doubt... more

It's reductive to define it as just music. Art in its purest form. more
There are more ideas in a piece by these "scardinatimpani" from Ohio (also known as O-Aiò) than in entire and vast discographies of whole sectors of the (so-called, sadly) Post-Metal. What a ridiculous thing. more
The voice most out of tune in Jazz. more
Undoubtedly a classy singer, but at times quite repetitive and boring. more
An immense talent. Beautiful albums, especially "La pianta del the" and "Lindbergh - Lettere da sopra la pioggia". Moreover, he had the dignity to step back when he felt he had nothing left to say. A rarity among the chosen few. more
