If they were to achieve success comparable to their talent, they would be everywhere. Too bad it isn't so. Great technique at the service of so much imagination. Music. more

David Bowie — Blackstar | DeRank™: 0,00

Now That's an Exit! Produced beautifully. Classic and experimental at the same time. Bowie had often flirted with jazz, but perhaps he had never succeeded so well. Donny McCaslin on sax is exceptional, but drummer Mark Guiliana is an absolute revelation. Favorite track: perhaps Dollar Days, a poignant old-style ballad that wouldn't be out of place on Hunky Dory. more
The Police -Message in a Box: The Complete Recordings
Marco Salzano
the Complete Works, which couldn’t be more complete, in one of the best box sets ever. It contains the tracks from the 5 albums, plus the songs that appeared only on 45s (including many excellent pieces by Summers that were discarded; Shambelle and Someone to talk to), the 45s from the furious early Punk days with Padovani still on guitar, the stunning I burn for you, and various live tracks. more

The Police -Ghost In The machine
Marco Salzano
The classic Police sound hybridized with R&B horns and keyboards. Sting's lyrics gain depth (the beautiful, sorrowful "Invisible Sun" about the Irish conflict), but the contributions of Copeland (the minimalist "Darkness") and Summers ("Omega Man") are also noteworthy, as he unleashes a series of riffs in "Demolition Man" that he may not have ever recorded in his career. more

Great guitarist, I also like the voice; it’s not a childish little voice, just gritty enough for his bluesy rock. I've listened to about sixty of his songs and I must say they are all of good quality. Naturally, this is my personal judgment and for this, I give him a five out of five. more

Perhaps it’s impossible for anyone... but if he had always harnessed his true compositional potential, today we would be talking about number 1. Or thereabouts. Instead, on average, he is one of the greats, and his genius is truly visible only to those who know at least reasonably well his discography. For casual listeners, he might even seem like just any other artist. more

Love — Forever Changes | DeRank™: 0,00

A beautiful example of sunny and imaginative psychedelia, but penalized by a terrible orchestral accompaniment that seems taken from a Crosby record (Bing, not David). more
King Crimson -Red

King Crimson — Red | DeRank™: 4,20

Red has grandly closed a chapter in the band's history: the clocks mark distortion and the sky is always dark, but Starless remains an extraordinary farewell with its brilliant crescendo built on a single repeated guitar note and those anarchoid incursions of Bruford's metallic percussion. When the tension then resolves in McDonald's fierce sax solo and the final recapitulation, it's pure delight. more

Gentle Giant — Three Friends | DeRank™: 3,00

Successful Concept that also has the rare virtue of compactness. There's no need to ramble on about the technical level but especially about the musical culture of the group, with references ranging from medieval polyphony to jazz, and an almost obsessive attention to detail. In short, you can't go wrong with GG. more

Khan — Space Shanty | DeRank™: 0,00

One of a Kind by Steve Hillage's group. Deadly Hammond-Guitar riffs (a bit like Atomic Rooster) in sometimes grandiloquent tracks. However, the instrumental skill, especially of Stewart and Hillage, is undeniable. more
Roxy Music -Stranded

Roxy Music — Stranded | DeRank™: 0,00

Well, the album, after those with Eno, is the finest of the Roxy (and not just because of the cover). It highlights the romantic piano playing of the very young Jobson, a perfect stage for Ferry's perverse chansonnier version, even if his sonorous French in A Song for Europe risks a bit of the Inspector Clouseau effect. Great solo by Manzanera in the remarkable Amazona. more

Arthur Penn — Gangster Story | DeRank™: 0,00

A film ahead of its time, both technically and thematically. The echoes of the French Nouvelle Vague are reinterpreted by Penn to tell the epic tale of rebellious and violent new American generations. Before "Easy Rider," New Hollywood is already here. Although it bears the weight of 50 years, it remains a memorable and iconic film. (9) more

Kate Bush — The Kick Inside | DeRank™: 0,89

A stunning debut, a refined and never banal masterpiece, it practically divides between perfect pop songs when it goes well, and beautiful pop songs when it goes poorly. One of my favorite pop albums, how much I love it. "The Saxophone Song," "The Man With the Child in His Eyes," "Wuthering Heights," and the title track are the masterpieces within the masterpiece. more
