Little Feat -Sailin' Shoes
There's some virtuosity... Cover by Neon Park. more
Babe Ruth -First Base
English band of second division with first-class technique and ideas: it was only an innate versatility that precluded their success. Classics like the solid Wells Fargo, the Morriconian The Mexican, the breathtaking crescendo of The Runaways, all bearing the vocal mark of Jenny Haan. And who else had the courage to cover Zappa in 1972? more
Michael Mann -Insider - Dietro La Verità
Alongside "Heat," Mann's absolute masterpiece and one of the greatest summaries of 90s Cinema. Russell Crowe as he will never be again in the rest of his career and the usual great Pacino. A film of civil engagement without being rhetorical, visually outstanding, technically perfect, with a Mann who mixes alternating editing, over-the-shoulder shots, close-ups, and "shot-reverse shot" from the right side of the face (a Mannian sinthome that will return in all his films). An absolute gem. more
Sodom -In War And Pieces
A powerful concentration of classic thrash. An album that also elevates the level of songwriting like never before in their career. Several tracks showcase a more melodic streak, and the structure becomes more complex and, if we want to say, "American" (see "Feigned Death Throes" and "Soul Contraband"). Slightly underwhelming in the last tracks. Otherwise, it's a great record, little else to say. (7.5) more
Sodom -The Final Sign Of Evil
In fact, it's the reissue of the 1984 EP with the addition of some tracks. A brief return to the very raw black of the early days. An album that I have never understood and that has never captivated me. (5.5) more
The Animals
They were ugly, dirty, and mean. Therefore, especially for bluesologists, indispensable. more
Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds -Murder Ballads
Sooner or later, Nick Cave had to tackle the cursed ballads that tell of death and murder; no one better than him can narrate, describe, and embody the role of the violent bard. He does this with his usual dark and shadowy interpretative mastery, blending reinterpretations of traditional pieces with songs that bear his autograph; he duets with PJ Harvey in "Henry Lee" and with Kylie Minogue in "Where The Wild Roses Grow". But the demon is only pushed away... DEATH IS NOT THE END... more
Francesco De Gregori
Thanks to the one who, for at least 10 years between the 70s and 80s, was in my opinion the best Italian singer-songwriter... now certainly and deservedly included among the greats of Italian "Musica d'Autore"... his songs are never trivial, but rich in life, in realism, and also with the certainty that love and poetry are the main ingredients in the recipe of our existence. more
At the Gates
Inserted, in my opinion somewhat forced, into the Melodic Death Metal genre that originated in Sweden in the early nineties. "Slaughter Of The Soul" is a masterpiece of fierce violence: I recommend listening to the terrifying sequence of the three tracks that open the album...MACELLATORI... more
The Yardbirds
They played hard and heavy rock (at least for the time) as early as '65, try it to believe it. more

Zucchero
I don't like his voice... the sound is unpleasant... but he has written beautiful songs... some tracks are stunning... it's a shame about the voice which seems so fake to me... and... that sometimes he copies a bit too much... anyway, well done... if only there were more like him in Italy... (better than Cimabue). more
