The Allman Brothers Band -Seven Turns
The hidden masterpiece of their discography... more
The Allman Brothers Band -Brothers And Sisters
First full album without that monster Duane, but yet another masterpiece! Not even the loss of that six-string genius stopped the Allman Brothers... Among the best albums of the "Southern" scene of all time! more
Guy Evans
Monstrous! more
RIBALDO
A man of sound moral principles. more
Nico -Desertshore
Gloomy, touching, adrenaline-pumping, spectral: all this is "Desertshore"...thank you Nico more
Led Zeppelin -Led Zeppelin IV
Probably the zenith of Led Zeppelin (almost on par with Led Zeppelin I), not only for "Stairway To Heaven," the real gem is "When The Levee Breaks." more
Safri Duo
The throbbing and warm heart of Africa mixed with cold Danish electro-house. Phenomenal. more
The Sweet Inspirations -The Sweet Inspirations
Oh, for me this debut from the extraordinary backing singers of Aretha Franklin (and in the solo debut of Van Morrison, and in the most beautiful album of Dusty Springfield, and with Presley, etc.) is worth 5 stars. Exceptional selection of tracks (among an Isaac Hayes, a Bacharach/David, and a Cropper, they even squeeze in two big numbers from the contemporary Aretha repertoire, from I Never Loved a Man... which they had just participated in), impeccable interpretations, some exceptional. Between grooves and killer melodies, it's an album without dead moments. "Reach Out for Me" by Burt & Hal is still a cut above the rest, an eternal melody. more
Minor Victories -Minor Victories
First album of the supergroup composed of Rachel Goswell (Slowdive), Stuart Braithwaite (Mogwai), and Justin Lockey of Editors, along with the latter's brother, filmmaker James Lockey, whose contribution as a musician will also involve giving a 'visual' aspect to the entire project. The album also features guests such as Mark Kozelek ('For You Always') and James Graham of Twilight Sad (Scattered Ashes - Song For Richard). The project clearly has some cinematic inspiration; the album opens with typically shoegaze sounds, then experiences a drop in tone and ultimately evolves into an emotional kind of soundtrack. I wasn't particularly thrilled by it, perhaps because it's too ethereal, but it's a well-made work and definitely more than listenable. more

Fabrizio De André
The Italian singer-songwriter. more
Band Of Horses -Why Are You OK
They are undoubtedly one of the most celebrated and loved bands in the indie scene right now (a label that might even feel too tight for them, as it's more about attitude than a real status). Personally, I’ve never considered them much, and I listened to the album without any great expectations. Well, in that sense, I couldn’t help but appreciate it. Why not? What I mean is that you must really not like them to say that an album like this isn’t at least listenable. If you’re looking for a masterpiece, just move on to something else. Clear enough? more
