Mike Oldfield — Crises | DeRank™: 0,00

good album, without creative peaks but with catchy ballads, including the well-known "Moonlight Shadow" that adults who grew up in the '80s associate with the mountains: I wonder why... 7/10 more

Spike Lee -S.O.S. Summer of Sam
teenagelobotomy
Lee has a sympathy for Italian-Americans (the film was released the same year as the first season of The Sopranos, by the way, and is co-written by the legendary Michael Imperioli) comparable only to Gibson's for the Jews, but the film is truly phenomenal, exuberant, and irresistible. One of Lee's best films. more

GØGGS -GØGGS

GØGGS — GØGGS | DeRank™: 0,00

Another project featuring the usual and super-prolific Ty Segall. GOGGS is practically a trio of particularly loud garage music, composed not only of Ty Segall but also of Charles Moothart (Fuzz) and Chris Shaw (Ex-Cult). Forget about anything that even remotely resembles melody or logic while listening to this record. Completely acid, eccentric, out of this world, and loud enough to shatter your ears, this is definitely an album that would have thrilled the legendary Lester Bangs, for sure. The only downside: it’s probably repetitive and ultimately lacking particularly interesting and/or innovative ideas compared to the other projects led by Ty Segall himself. more
Shawn James -On the Shoulders of Giants
sotomayor
This boy is possessed by the sacred fire of blues music. Those same demons that have infected over time Son House, Robert Johnson, Blind Lemon Jefferson, and especially Howlin' Wolf, whom Shawn James somehow resembles with his voice that is both captivating and in a way aggressive, guttural like the growl of a massive Rocky Mountain bear. Recorded at the legendary Sun Studios in Memphis, Tennessee, 'On the Shoulder of Giants' is an album that balances soulful impulses with the more aggressive and acidic reverberations of the darkest blues music, one of the best 'American' albums I have listened to this year. more
Neil Young -Harvest

Neil Young — Harvest | DeRank™: 0,00

Considered by many to be Neil Young's masterpiece and the pinnacle of his lengthy career. An album that is at times monumental in its tones and arrangements ('A Man Needs A Maid' and 'There's a World', both recorded with the London Symphony Orchestra) and full of famous collaborations, including the inevitable Crosby, Stills & Nash; James Taylor ('Old Man') and Linda Ronstadt. It features some of Young's most famous tracks, including 'Heart of Gold', the very 'Old Man', 'Alabama', and the title track 'Harvest'. The fact that my favorite track from the bunch, besides the opening track 'Out On the Weekend', is 'Words (Between The Lines of Age)' probably explains why it's not my favorite episode in his discography. This album here is a milestone, and that's fine, but I can really feel the lack of the wild and tempestuous power of 'the horse'. more
Os Mutantes -Os Mutantes

Os Mutantes — Os Mutantes | DeRank™: 5,53

First album by the most influential Brazilian rock psychedelic music group. Part of the 'Tropicalia' movement and initially formed by the Baptista brothers and the charismatic Rita Lee, the album is from the very first notes ('Panis et circenses', 'A minha menina') a kaleidoscopic explosion that blends the typical colors of Brazilian music with the British psychedelia of the sixties, marked by the Beatles and Pink Floyd. The album continues with tracks where the balance sometimes leans towards a more tropicalist orientation ('Adeus Maria Fulo', 'Premier bonheur du jour') and other times more British, as in 'Baby' or 'Ave Genghis Khan,' which at times seems to come straight out of 'The Piper at the Gates of Dawn' by Barrett and company. They fill a significant gap for me regarding both Brazilian music and the psychedelic sounds of the sixties. more

Thomas Vinterberg — Kollektivet | DeRank™: 0,00

With 'Kollektivet', perhaps Thomas Vinterberg symbolically closes a circle that he opened with 'Festen' in 1998. The film tells the story of a couple (and their little girl) who decide to live in a 'commune' with other people, establishing a relationship of total openness in terms of collaboration at home and also on an emotional level. Before long, cracks will appear within this system, and the ideal tranquility is seriously challenged by the facts of life and the interactions among the various individuals. However, in the midst of these fissures, rays of sunlight break through, leading to a greater awareness in addressing individual and collective issues, overcoming that large yet small closed micro-system already partially uncovered by Vinterberg over the years with his cinema, which ultimately is the family. more
Czeslaw Niemen -Niemen Enigmatic
