Lean, but intensely profound. more

Jackson did better. more
Starting from pop with shoegaze and psychedelic undertones in Leisure, they moved through the irreverent singles of the '90s, designed to be ironically and intelligently mainstream, only to arrive, with the stunning self-titled album, at a mature, ethereal, lo-fi sound... up to the Middle Eastern influences of Think Tank. Beyond britpop... there's been (was?) much more. more
Today marks 40 years since its release in stores. A splendid forty-year-old and a masterpiece of Classic Prog. more
great group, not exceptional but nice. more
All great musicians have their own maturation period, but unfortunately, Baglioni's lasted over twenty years. Albums like "Io sono qui" (1995) represent the peak of his creativity and genius. Yet he waited too long to express it, ending up being labeled as a "singer-songwriter of trivial songs." And the state he finds himself in now is, to say the least, pitiful. more
After Battleship Potemkin, another ridiculous mess!! Absolute zero rating, just like the crappy group. Oh, no, I have to give at least one, but fuck you!!!! more
Useful to listen to during the effort of defecation! Especially for those like me who suffer from constipation, a real panacea. more
Speechless... Historical importance aside, the impressive thing is realizing that in the following years (as a solo artist and with Pentangle) he did even better, and I can't explain how one can do better when debut songs already contain timeless tracks like "How Your Love Is Strong," "Needle of Death," or "Dreams of Love," and so on, not to mention his version of "Angie" and Mingus' Alice to flirt with jazz, that insane skill with the acoustic... Immense. more
The usual wave in the ocean of mediocre, derivative, and polished Hard Rock typical of the late 90s, where I only perceive steps longer than the leg, an important name unwittingly recommended by its own past, and so, so much luck thanks to the music videos on YouTube. And to think they didn't start off too badly when they still remembered what Punk was... more
I've listened to it so many times online that Cipollina and Duncan are hot on my heels, and they want to take me down! Now I'm hiding among the cacti, belly to the ground, grazing the spines of these treacherous shrubs with my back. I'm trapped... not even the fastest steed could save me...
The vinyl... my kingdom for the vinyl!!! more
Battiato had his ears wide open when he listened to this record. Yes, I'm sure he did; this, along with the early Popol Vuh. An ethnic-psychedelic sound source that certainly doesn’t leave one indifferent. Now that I think about it... yes, the Aktuala must have found it nice as well... more
A brilliant idea carried through for 3 seasons without ever faltering. A made in Italy gem. more
5 because as a teenager I loved them and because the first albums are very good more
fantastic! more
too underestimated. more
of terrible scripts, fun, but for 3 minutes. more
In some better parallel universe than this one, a (chief) work of an album like "D.I. Go Pop" [1994] would have become a classic. Too ahead of its time. Alongside "Spiderland"... with the difference that for some strange reason, those have remained in semi-oblivion... more
Literally consumed, beautiful cover! more
