three albums more beautiful than the other more
They've written some good songs, but the rest is embarrassing. The Manowar of Power Metal. more
Aesthetically, they draw from KISS, cleverly mixing a religious attitude with powerful music that is (strangely, given the genre) never banal. One of the greatest promises for modern Power Metal. more
Despite the few albums and the lack of continuity, it certainly deserves 4 stars. Unfortunately, after the third album, he retired only to re-emerge in the 1990s with the last great album "Ahoh yé nanà". A starting point for Lucio Battisti to launch the new course. more
Someone who calls himself The Master. For me, that's enough to judge him. And if we add that hodgepodge of elephant tranquilizers that are his songs... more
He is generally unbearable, but I've always been quite fond of 1950. more

One of the greatest American modernist composers of the last century (even though he composed a lot of music in the years following 2000, well into his 90s), music that is quite challenging, yet very personal and intriguing. It deserves a listen. more
I can't stand them, they've always gotten on my nerves... more
Great band! more
Great album from 1993 with the active collaboration of Robert Wyatt and his voice. "Happy Land" and "Kingdom" perhaps a notch above the other tracks. more

Recorded live on Dec 30, 63 - Club A-Gogo in Newcastle (England) more
Interesting album, unfortunately recorded very poorly. more
Good second-tier progressive group. Let's avoid the mistake of comparing them to Soft Machine or even to Caravan. Soft and refined music, but in my opinion, it doesn't reach very high peaks of "inner fire." They've never fully convinced me... a group without great personality. more
How would you define this record? A blend of "Indie" music, the dark and romantic singer-songwriter styles of Cohen and Cave (and perhaps others), and a refined baroque pop with an unmistakably British flavor, sublimated by a skewed and somber orchestra that nonetheless does not shy away from classic melodic beauty, even when engaged in distortions and deconstructions. Or should we simply say Pop or Indie or "Chamber" singer-songwriter? Beyond that, Stuart Staples's pen is deeply inspired, offering goosebump-inducing lyrics and melodies, dotted with stunning strings and the keyboards of Dave Boulter. A standout track worth mentioning? "Jism," with an intro that alone is worth the price of the album. One of the most elegant and profound records of the '90s. more
