It really gets on my nerves, but "Canzoni dell'Appartamento" is a nice album and it's a fact that he knows his music. Sure, if he started making serious music again instead of being a hysterical intellectual on X-Factor it would be better… more

There were times when already disbanded bands greeted showbiz by releasing masterpieces: Proto-Prog flags of the Vertigo school, they fell into that sonorous chessboard where King Crimson and Caravan used to reflect themselves from their ivory towers. The Supernova suite is still "gracefully" visible, lost in the most creative galaxies of Rock. more
His talent is undeniable... A band that can only get better with time!! more
Politically incorrect and fundamentally unlistenable, what more could you want? more
The album opens with the applause of the few people present on that distant night twenty years ago in Seattle; then Grant arrives and the soft guitar notes of "Ballad No. 19" begin, with that initially subdued voice rising to dramatic intensity. And this heavy tension, both nervous and musical, will be felt throughout the brief duration of the concert until the conclusion that returns to us an author finally free, proud, ready once again to start anew...2541... more
Hard Rock in bold acid-psychedelic shades, with Metal Funk blasts. Visionary, mystical, lysergic: welcome to the world of shaman Perry Farrell... JANE SAYS... more
Lucy is truly a fantastic piece of crap: fairytale-like and action-packed, and very easy on a concrete and existential theme that is actually quite difficult. Commercially perfect: no one can say it's shit. One of the best pieces of crap ever seen, likely a contender for *My Cagate's Top Five*. more
An excellent contraceptive method that, however, can disrupt the menstrual cycle and reduce a woman's sexual desire, as well as diminish sensitivity for both partners during intercourse. more

Four reasons: 1) They created the cultural and music scene that allowed essential bands to form and become known. 2) "Never Mind The Bollocks" isn't that bad after all. 3) Unlike the Clash, they had the good taste to get out of the way right away. more

An elegant epitaph, with two pearls at the beginning: Come Together is one of Lennon’s best tracks. Harrison, in great form, presents two of the best songs of the bunch. more
It was December 5, 1984: thirty years have passed since that cold date, and never could a better title accompany the debut of Federico Fiumani's band, with Miro Sassolini on vocals at the time. It is the cold and detached singing that gives a decisive imprint to a record where references to English Post Punk and New Wave are very evident; and it is always enjoyable to be enveloped by the icy textures of "Siberia," the track that opens a record still essential today. more
In December, "Siberia" turns thirty; and Federico still hasn't tired of traveling up and down our peninsula. I have NEVER been able to see Diaframma in concert... And I have shed TEARS 3 TIMES... more
Funk, funk, funk... A great bassist... more
I hardly know a damn thing about this obscure figure, except for reports that he has been active since the early '80s tinkering with mostly homemade, obscure productions. My 5 is based on his latest work, "Space of a Second," where it seems you're listening to an even more dazed Barrett, but dealing with various electronic gadgets. Quite strange. But for me, one of the (few) albums of 2014. A strange and mysterious hybrid between Syd Barrett and Gary Numan (????)... more
Without a doubt, bizarre. more
