Moondog
In addition to being a brilliant composer (with very few means he has created great things, worthy of a talented academic musician), he was, above all, a person deserving of great respect. One piece of advice: listen to his music, it’s good for the soul! more
John Martyn -Bless The Weather
Martyn's maturation continues with this stunning album. The 5 balls don't come simply because the next two have something extra. Rating 4.5. more
Muse -Drones
A grandiose return to more rock sounds, without losing freshness or grandiosity. The structures are not as trivial as detractors claim, and many times the progressions are absolutely thrilling and the melodic choices spot on. The concept is not bad either, original, dramatic, and contemporary. In my opinion, their best album since "Origin of Symmetry." more
Nickelback
When they had guts, they released records of excellent quality... Their debut album, "The State," and especially "The Long Road," are proof of that... The commercial albums like "Dark Horse" and "All the Right Reasons" are good too, with chart-topping songs but also with tight tracks like "Animal" and "Burn It to the Ground" (to name just two)... Now, to be honest, they are embarrassing... more

Built To Spill -Keep It Like A Secret
After an absolute masterpiece like "Perfect From Now On," Built To Spill opts for a more synthetic approach (except for the memorable finale) that is (at least seemingly) less complex than its predecessor, without detracting from the inspiration and intensity: the result is their second masterpiece. more
Current 93 -Nature Unveiled
A hallucinatory parareligious and Crowleyan nightmare, perfect as a soundtrack while reading Lovecraft or Thomas Ligotti. more
Current 93 -Thunder Perfect Mind
One of the cornerstones of neo-folk more
Current 93 -Dogs Blood Rising
A hidden and esoteric nightmare that leads to visiting Infernal Circles where dark and ancient rituals are celebrated. more
