Alessandro Esseno
A solitary rebel, a natural talent, a pianist with a unique touch. An unmatched type of music, capable of freezing pure emotions in the span of a few seconds: a colossal artist. Period. more
Piero Scaruffi
Thanks to him, one of the best writings in history exists: his page on Nonciclopedia. more
Vince Martin & Fred Neil -Tear Down The Walls
Beautiful. Fred Neil's debut, even if in partnership with Vince Martin. Beautiful songs blending traditional sounds, excellent covers ("Morning Drew"), and the first tracks that emerged from Fred Neil's pen, which make up at least half of the album (greats like "Baby" or "Red Flowers"). Certainly, it is far from the Fred Neil who will come soon, distant not only in quality but also in style, as Neil's next three works are extraordinary masterpieces and reach vertiginously high peaks. But this is already a great start. more
Black Sabbath -Black Sabbath
No description is needed for a record like this!! more
Alessandro Esseno
The nightmare of every hairdresser, the man with "rebellious" hair, the man from the magazines, the one who has battled combs for thirty years. more
Al Green
There isn't a single review on Al Green... What the fuck is wrong with you? more
Stanley Kubrick
A fantastic observer of the human being and its conflicts with something greater and more powerful, whether that be an internal drive or an external imposition. Each of his works is unique, profound, eternal, and universal. more
Alice in Chains
I would use the most positive terms that come to mind right now to describe the AIC (of course referring to the only period I can consider... that is, the one with the good Layne). Simply one of the "heart" bands (sounds terrible but it conveys the idea well...) more
Blur
Never tolerated. more
Genesis
For me, up to Duke in 1980, they produced a series of masterpieces; the best ones are those featuring Gabriel, followed by a rapid decline into oblivion. more
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
I met him while listening to the requiem, and I fell in love. To me, it is the very essence of music, the non plus ultra, the one true Genius. I regret that he died at only 35 years old, in the prime of his artistic maturity. Don Giovanni is an immense, colossal, immortal work!!! more
The Moody Blues
seminal group, with baroque and symphonic influences in an emerging progressive. more
Steve Hackett
perhaps the quintessential guitarist of progressive rock. calm and composed, he always played seated (never standing) and with his calm and serene fingers, he produced those dreamy sounds typical of Genesis. more
Van Morrison
He left us two unforgettable gems like "Astral Weeks" and "Moondance," essential and moving works... among the ones I would take with me to a deserted island... majestic... The Man... more
Tim McGraw
One of the major figures in contemporary country music. more
Tony Conrad & Faust -Outside The Dream Syndicate
I tried three times and the most I managed was twelve minutes. That same battery just kills me inside; for me, it’s an unbearable record. Anyway, maximum respect. more
Nick Drake -Five Leaves Left
"There are only five leaves left"... this is the translation of the title (absurdly prophetic) of this great debut work by Nick Drake. more
The Brian Jonestown Massacre -Give It Back!
A delightful fifty minutes catapulted back to full 1967, California. Among stoners wandering the desert playing country rock among the coyotes (and under peyote) in the moonlight, a few brief stops in India and some pop songs that border on perfection. I prefer their more experimental and/or less revivalist works, but 'Give It Back!' remains a pleasure. A hearty 4.5! more
