absolute perfection more
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
No description is needed for a record like this!! more
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
There isn't a single review on Al Green... What the fuck is wrong with you? more
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
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
Never tolerated. more
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
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
seminal group, with baroque and symphonic influences in an emerging progressive. more
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
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
One of the major figures in contemporary country music. more
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
"There are only five leaves left"... this is the translation of the title (absurdly prophetic) of this great debut work by Nick Drake. more
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
And Steve Albini is in his massive gold villa in Bel Air getting masturbated by his black slaves and blowing his nose into the greens. more
Excursus on the apocryphal gospels. Great album, also thanks to the accompaniment of Quelli, future PFM (which will never create an album of this value). The "Testament of Tito" stands out among the others, extraordinary. more
