Trementina — Almost Reach The Sun | DeRank™: 0,00

New, yet another band from the neo-psych wave coming from Chile. This is the first album by Trementina (soon on tour in Europe), a band that is more accurately defined as shoegaze and/or dreampop, with some outbursts here and there in true Yo La Tengo style. A nice little record, it will surely please fans of the genre. more

In the Olympus among a few chosen ones, we cannot forget episodes like who's next, Tommy, those sublime live performances (Leeds, Woodstock, the live at the Isle of Wight, the live at Monterey, the live at Charlton, etc.), we cannot forget songs like "My Wife," "Baba O'Riley," "Substitute," "The Song is Over," "Love, Reign O'er Me," Daltrey struggling between that microphone and his long hair in the finale of Tommy, Entwistle remaining impassive and occasionally throwing smiles at Moon, Moon crafting comedic shows with Townshend between songs, Townshend going wild and breaking everything until he bleeds, drools, tears his clothes but continues undeterred in his solitary rides. more

"Black Celebration," "Violator," and "Music For The Masses," as well as "Construction Time Again," are truly extraordinary works, and we shouldn't underestimate the "rock" twist of the early '90s with "stripped," "a question of time," "a question of lust," "behind the wheel," "master and servant," and we could go on infinitely, all top-class hits. more

Richard Shepard -The Hunting Party
sotomayor
We are in 2000 in the former Yugoslavia, and three journalists (Richard Gere, Terrence Howard, and Jesse Eisenberg) are on the trail of a Bosnian criminal known as 'the fox' (inspired by the real criminal Radovan Karadzic, arrested in 2008). The beginning of the film is promising; Richard Gere's acting seems to be both dramatic and irreverent at the same time. Everything suggests that what could emerge is a really great film, but this slips away as the minutes go by, leading to an ending that aims to astonish with its revelations and perhaps tries to tackle what can be considered 'conspiracy theories,' but instead feels weak and ultimately ends up being merely rhetorical. What a pity. more

It changed today's television, no doubt about it. Much like Twin Peaks did in the '90s, BB came out at a time when the clones of Buffy were flooding the screen.
BB brought thrills, suspense, action, humor, and drama... to the small screen.

Above them hovers the stereotype that they are merely a bunch of poor depressed souls with fans perpetually tormented by suicidal instincts. And that’s wrong; I won't deny their melancholic streak, but they are so much more than that. Musically incredibly valid (ranging from the early alternative rock to the electronics of Kid A and Amnesiac), they can boast having composed some of the most influential albums in music history, and the themes of their lyrics vary from the alienation of modern man and the emptiness of his soul to politics and environmentalism (Pablo Honey excluded). I would dare say that they are one of the most important and influential bands to emerge in the '90s and still active (with the same lineup), if not the most important and influential. more

Joe Bataan -Saint Latin's Day Massacre
sotomayor
Call it salsa or latin-soul, whatever you prefer, but this album by Joe Bataan, born to a Filipino father and an African American mother, is a real blast. There are influences from various genres, from Latin sounds like boogaloo to more traditionally soul and African American vibes. 'Saint Latin's Day Massacre' is the soundtrack of the New York of Garland Jeffreys and that New York where Lou Reed has always sought to find himself throughout his life. The New York of Walter Hill's 'The Warriors' and the one sung by Ruben Blades in Sidney Lumet's 'Q&A'. The cover of Isaac Hayes' famous 'Shaft' theme is also charming, but it's not the only noteworthy moment in an album that really should be listened to in one breath from start to finish. more

James Griffiths — Cuban Fury | DeRank™: 0,00

A typically 'British' romantic comedy featuring the incredibly talented Nick Frost. At its core: the fantastic world of salsa. There are some similarities with other, even more 'serious' UK-made comedies, and in this sense, a tribute to the cinema of the great Ken Loach is unavoidable. Olivia Colman shines as always, and Rory Kinnear is excellent. Ian McShane's performance as the protagonist's old dance master is simply outstanding. more
Fantastic Negrito -Fantastic Negrito EP
sotomayor
EP released in 2014 by Blackball Universe in Oakland, California. Fantastic Negrito draws heavily from the history of African Americans and that of the blues. A guy dedicated to music since he was a kid, a multi-instrumentalist from a Muslim-orthodox family, growing up listening to Afro-traditional music, Arabic sounds, and Funkadelic, he literally converted to the blues after a fatal accident that somehow opened his mind. An interesting record with some soulful passages ('The Time Has Come') and neo-soul and hip-hop experiments ('Fever'). I know his first LP is set to be released soon; I'm at least curious to hear it. more

Even more pronounced than in their previous work, the references to all that is wave music shine through, both in the arrangements and the atmospheres of the album. The vocals are reminiscent of the best Robert Smith (perhaps even better than Robert Smith himself, let’s be honest). A band that undoubtedly has qualities and an album that is certainly good for fans of an extinct genre that lives on through periodic and continuous revivals. Over and out. more

Lust For Youth — Compassion | DeRank™: 0,00

Hannes Norrvide is definitely skilled when it comes to the revival of dark-wave and synth-pop sounds that were typical of the eighties, which are the secret to the success of his project Lust For Youth. Genre enthusiasts and nostalgia lovers will surely appreciate this latest work, 'Compassion', which, as far as I'm concerned, adds nothing to a genre that I believe has been drained and exhausted for some time now. more

Alan Arkin — Little Murders | DeRank™: 0,00

Taken from a play presented by Jules Feiffer in New York in 1967, the film (directed by Alan Arkin) is set in a violent and degenerated society. At the center of the story is Alfred Chamberlain (Elliott Gould), a young, disillusioned photographer who is unable to feel any kind of emotion and lets everything that happens to him wash over him. Nevertheless, he begins to date and eventually marries the tenacious and upbeat Patsy (Marcia Rodd). Starting a arduous process to try to change his life, her murder will irrevocably shake his existence. The ending is practically a crescendo of delusions and brilliant reflections on what society was like back then and what it is today. The performances of Vincent Gardenia stand out, along with the brief appearances of Donald Sutherland and Alan Arkin himself as a police inspector. more

As a careful commentator on judicial matters, over time he has convinced himself that he is the guardian of truth, that he can always distinguish what is right from what is wrong, who is guilty from who is innocent, a good law from a bad one.... It almost makes me want to have him elected prime minister by acclamation just to see what he would be capable of doing. For now, just empty bravado. more
