Excellent artist and good experimenter. Varied discography, but generally resting on quality standards that are anything but low. more
3 because Pay the Man is an absolutely insane piece more
A guy made three, and I mean three, fake posts on debaser to define and exalt this dude with Caps-Lock syndrome. I think this week's idol is him. more
A PURE MUSICIAN. NO COMPROMISE. AN UNCONDITIONAL APPROACH TO SOUND. FROM THE PIANO TO THE WILD STATE TO CYBERNETIC SAMPLES. EVERYTHING IS PERMISSIBLE TO REACH THE PARADISE OF TIMELESS EMOTIONS. EXTREME, CLASSICAL, AUTHENTIC. more
I just can’t understand it; I suppose the aura of the 'rock 'n' roll' hero, guitar in hand and nonconformist, can be fascinating, but if he is a 'genius', what is Ray Charles? more
Just the first forty seconds of "Do the Astral Plane" are enough to make this album a must-have. more
Il Sogno. more
Debut LP for the dubstep prophet of Hyperdub. more
One of the so-called "guiding bands" (along with Joy Division and a few other bands from the era) for those who are (were) nerdy, marginalized, depressed, ridiculed, outcast, and so on. I viscerally love the entire discography. more
Years later, their masterpiece still remains. Impressive, it almost feels like hearing Running Wild with a more folk-oriented guitarwork! And there's also an excellent job on the scream vocals! more
The dark and desolate metallic decay. more
Many have pointed the finger at him. But there's worse out there... more
Lame and obsequious. Like all the products from Helloween since the 90s. more
No one has managed to bring back Doom, Folk, Celtic, and Epic influences quite like them, while remaining genuinely metal! more
The Rock Matrix is much more pronounced than the Jazz one, but stuff like this had never been heard in Italy in '72 (neither Area nor Napoli Centrale existed yet). "Grandangolo" and the drum solo in "36° Parallelo" are worth the price of admission. From 1972 to 1976, they deserve the highest praise, unbeatable. more
"Walls of Jericho," "Keeper of the Seven Keys PT1 and PT2." Hansen on guitar and Kiske on vocals. The birth and death of a band in just one trilogy. So far a 5, then... well, let's drop it... more
One of the few power groups that manages to combat the flattening typical of the sound thanks to a baritone and evocative timbre and to some really interesting folk inserts. more
Pantagruelian tragicomic staging on a grand scale! Phenomenal musicians under the aegis of a madman: Mr. Frank Zappa. more
That son of a bitch deserves to go work the fields. In fact, he deserves to become one with the earth that would surround the coffin containing his body. Good only to serve as food for the worms. more
