Dave Gahan | DeRank™: 0,47

His voice, so distinctive and unique, remains in my opinion one of the most recognizable and "noble" of the last few decades. Well done Dave and thank you... SUFFER WELL... more

Giorgio Gaber — Libertà obbligatoria | DeRank™: 1,95

Here Mr. G begins to take stock of a generation, the sixties generation, which he deems a failure. He supports this thesis through an extensive analysis of human consciousness and the crumbling of the concept of individuality. A fundamental pivot of the Teatro Canzone. "Everywhere we have left aborted joys to rot in the corners of the streets." (Il Delirio) more

Deep Purple — Made In Japan | DeRank™: 4,64

I will be banal, I will be obvious, I will be rhetorical... and if anyone wants to add any other obvious points, I will gladly welcome them. But then I wonder if it is right to try to say something about such great Music, about this sonic monolith that represents for me one of the sacred texts in the whole history of Rock: it would take me a long, long time and the result would be something banal, obvious, rhetorical, and so on... I conclude by citing among all the songs the one that seems the most obvious to me... CHILD IN TIME... more

David Bowie | DeRank™: 0,00

What he did in the '70s should be enough to give him a five, and who cares if he was inconsistent afterwards. Who else has managed to include a pop song, beautifully by the way, in a Kraut/Experimental/New Wave/whatever else you want to call it album like "Heroes"? more

John Cale — Paris 1919 | DeRank™: 0,00

A record I have never fully appreciated, maybe a bit too distracted, I prefer Vintage Violence and Music for the New Society. more

Code Orange Kids | DeRank™: 0,00

"Merging cryptic melody, dirty hardcore power, and intense dirge into their own uniquely inspired sound." The Deathwish website has already said it all. more

Pianos Become the Teeth | DeRank™: 0,00

One of the best groups of the scene humorously defined as 'The Wave' by the participating bands (La Dispute, Touché Amoré, Defeater, ...). With their latest album, 'Keep You', they definitively abandon the outbursts and shouted parts, adding a bit of post-rock to the formula. Essential for fans of the genre. more

Area | DeRank™: 1,59

The virtuosos (and the best virtuoso among the virtuosos was, of course, Stratos) who surpassed, in terms of instrumental technique, 90% of the foreign bands of the time. 5 stars are even too few for such innovative musicians. more

Alan Sorrenti — Aria | DeRank™: 1,64

Sublime record, with the opening suite that is one of the greatest masterpieces of Italian music and three other tracks also strongly infused with the impressive emotional charge of Alan's voice. Certainly, one cannot deny affinities and inspirations from Buckley’s "Lorca" and Starsailor, but it is nonetheless a work not lacking in originality and class. Paid 2.50 euros. more

Opal — Early Recordings | DeRank™: 0,00

Compilation of outtakes and other unreleased recordings. Here we find ourselves faced with 13 equally 'acid' gems but with a dreamy quietness, stripped of the feedback and distortions that dominated their only, splendid album from 1987 "Happy Nightmare Baby." There are cases where a 'scraps' record is as beautiful as an official release. Wonderful Opal.... more
