The Dwarfs of East Agouza — Bes | DeRank™: 0,00

A record like this is and will always be a rare gem due to its unique characteristics. How often, out of a thousand times, can it happen that a record mixing genres like fusion, experimental jazz, psychedelia, and Tuareg traditions—drawing heavily from the legacy of the great Ali Farka Touré—can simultaneously provide an experience that strikes so dramatically? It’s no surprise that the trio includes, alongside Maurice Louca and Sam Shalabi, Mr. Alan Bishop of the Sun City Girls, and perhaps it is his presence and guidance that make this work something so special and surprising, while also being accomplished and mature, therefore not merely a delirious riot of dancing burly and badass little demons (in every sense). more

35007 — Sea of Tranquillity Ep | DeRank™: 2,02

The 35007 hit the mark once again with this EP released in 2001, aptly titled 'Sea of Tranquillity.' It goes from 'Von Braun' to 'Artificial Intelligente' to the title track in a trip of stoner psychedelic music that makes you feel as if you're inside a kind of space cocktail shaker tossed adrift in a rain of asteroids and meteors. Fasten your seatbelts, Chewbe, ready for the jump into hyperspace! more
Claudio Cupellini -Una vita tranquilla
sotomayor
"A Quiet Life," directed by Claudio Cupellini, tells the story of Rosario Russo and Antonio De Martino, who are actually the same person. A mobster who fled to Germany fifteen years ago after faking his own death, he runs a hotel-restaurant far from the life he used to lead until it suddenly confronts him in all its 'fury' with all the unresolved issues he had tried to leave behind. It's difficult to judge a figure like the protagonist (the usual talented Toni Servillo): he is a criminal and a murderer, but his escape simultaneously represents a desire to rebuild his life as well as a form of atonement. It's easy to say that the moral of the film is that in the end, nobody can truly escape from themselves, but the truth is indeed just that. more

Every day down at this marina
there are many young girls
and it's right there
that I met her.
She always winked at me,
she wanted to take me into the cabin,
she really craved this sweet banana. more

Bill Bruford immediately realizes that Yes have reached their peak with "Close To The Edge" and decides to pursue a career with King Crimson... he remains monstrous and this album remains an absurd masterpiece... more

35007 — Liquid | DeRank™: 12,28

Third LP of the Dutch space rock band 35007 (aka 'Loose' in beghilos or calculator spelling). Released in 2002, the album is a long session of space rock and dronic music that, instead of being somehow impetuous (despite the typically stoner sound elements), slowly but increasingly penetrates the listeners' ears until it transports them to a spatial and ethereal dimension. As a dear friend says, ''Liquid' - that's the title of the album - 'sounds incredible, it strips you down and puts you in a spacesuit, it does everything by itself.' It's also good for the laziest cosmonauts then. Those couch ones. Try it to believe. more
