When "Desire" hit the stores in January '76, it immediately revealed itself as a great success, one of the best commercial performances of the genius from Duluth. Once again, Scarlet Rivera helps touch upon the masterpiece, her violin becoming indispensable for much of this journey, the stops of which are almost all on the distance. more
"Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery; none but ourselves can free our minds" (Rcit. Redemption Song) more
Another one to whom Zucchero should... well, finish the sentence as you please. more
Pleasant! more
The least successful of the initial works, with few ideas and repetitive sections. It remains a great listen only for the caliber of the musicians. more
As a young man, he made beautiful songs and this is undeniable; today it's useless, but one cannot take that away from him. more
The pinnacle of Caravan for me. A seamless transition between rock and jazz. more
The American Progressive? It arrives late, doesn't create scenes, doesn't sell records or dispense commentary. It's just the music that speaks, more emotional than ever, driven by an imaginative technique that dispels any pretentiousness. An album that illuminates every listen, every moment of sonic delight for refined tastes. more
"Hello" has (or at least has for me) slightly annoyed the hell out of us! Anyway, those who mock it on Facebook are utterly ridiculous! more
Years ago, perhaps it was still the dark 80s or the early 90s, I read an article in Rockerilla that talked about Fairport Convention. There was a phrase that compelled me to get to know them: "a band that, in moments of inspiration, could make even Bob Dylan pale." A bit exaggerated, perhaps, but What we did..., Unhalfbricking, Liege and Lief, Full House and House Full... are essential. more
The clear demonstration that Kula Shaker still had much to say after "Peasants, Pigs & Astronauts". more
From dawn to the light of the stars more
The greatest band in history? Easy, the "Pink Floyd"! more
Surely here and there there are dispensable parentheses in his discography, but other than that, if one had the opportunity to bring the works of a single artist to a deserted island, I believe it could only be his. more
The summit of Neil Young. A hypnotic and delicate album at the same time. more
The best director ever (W.A.) more
Riffs and solos Hard-Rock, impressive virtuosity on the Moog synthesizer, small collective tour de forces but also finely crafted Pop intuitions, and no cover versions. In 15 years and about fifteen studio albums, the high point is this small patch of good Welsh land, belonging to anyone who bought the vinyl upon its release in 1974. more
Former music video director, and you can see it in Fight Club and Panic Room, he has always maintained his style even while touching Hollywood products like Benjamin Button and The Social Network, without falling into the trap of certain colleagues. For this reason, and not only, he deserves respect. more
Skilled like few in mutilating songs. more
The last great album by Tangerine Dream more
