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
Discourse on the so-called "Virgin period" of Tangerine Dream more
Essential for anyone wanting to dive deeper into this incredible group that, live, would dive into improvisation. more
Okay, their consistency and desire to be non-commercial, but musically they don’t seem special to me. more
truly fascinating, they have the power to take you on a mental journey; they have created at least four masterpieces of dreamy music: Spleen and Ideal - Within the Realm of a Dying Sun - The Serpent's Egg - Aion - more
Truly stunning, it comes very close to the quality of "Storia di un minuto." The title track and "La luna nuova" are two incredible tracks. more
On vinyl, of course. Among the top 10-15 albums of Italian singer-songwriter music of all time, seven tracks better than the other. Perfect album. more
There's no point in being a pretentious jerk and saying "oh, but (insert random kraut-rock band) is the best band ever." Because that's not true at all. Whether you like them or not, the Beatles created everything that came after them in the music realm. Even your favorite group. more
The Black Sabbath can call themselves Heaven & Hell (as in this case), they can call themselves "The Fireflies" or even "The Sunflowers," for me they always earn a 5! more
In the seventies, they gifted us a single masterpiece (A Night at the Opera) and a handful of great albums, while from the eighties onwards, only mediocre albums (apart from Innuendo) and sometimes a few good songs. more
Ignorant rock. Quite catchy even though their songs all seem almost the same and end up tiring you out after half an hour. more
"Cyborg" is a Cosmic Symphony that is sad and maquiloquente from the one and indispensable Klaus Schulze. more
A splendid example of Progressive Rock devoid of complexity for its own sake, illuminated by an examination of the decaying clichés of the era: the defeat of the Flower Power utopia in favor of a syringe and the illusion of an animalistic romp mistaken for love are just two of the themes challenged by the pen of Dave Cousins, raw and direct like never before. more
When I listen to his music, I imagine riding a roaring motorcycle, soaring through the flames of hell and clashing with ghosts, demons, and damned souls. Mix Rock'n'roll with opera, pop, and musicals, and you'll get "Bat Out Of Hell," a MASTERPIECE. more
