Wonderfully dreamlike. more
Young Marble Giants -Colossal Youth
Two simple words: what a wonder!!! more
Neurosis -Through Silver in Blood
And what the hell is there to say? A long, exhilarating psychic torture. Pure masochism... Milestone more
Company Flow
"8 STEPS TO PERFECTION" more
Muse
Please, review them... I miss them so much :( more
Syd Barrett
The mad genius who gifted us not only the masterpiece by Pink Floyd but also incredible solo albums like "Barrett" and "The Madcap Laughs." more
Moby Grape
California band from San Francisco, authors of an excellent debut album, the self-titled "Moby Grape" from 1967, where the guitars of Miller, Lewis, and the charismatic and "crazy" leader Skip Spence were blazing… more
Area
Probably the best Italian band I've heard so far. more
Jefferson Airplane
It's the band that led me to delve into that fantastic decade of the 60s. Between Surrealistic Pillow, Volunteers, or After Bathing at Baxter's, I really don't know which one to choose, a discography of consistently high quality. And then that voice... what a voice that of Grace Slick! more
Gentle Giant
Well done, very well done. But personally, I don't consider them the best of progressive. more
Hüsker Dü -The Living End
October 1987: the last tour of Husker Du begins in their homeland. A series of concerts that will be interrupted, and never resumed, by the definitive human and artistic break of the bond that seemed unbreakable between Bob and Grant; the record label seven years later publishes this monumental sonic epitaph. Twenty-four tracks that open with the furious "New Day Rising," continue with the epic "Ice Cold Ice," and conclude with the cover of "Sheena Is A Punk Rocker"...LEGEND. more
Thinking Fellers Union Local #282 -Bob Dinners and Larry Noodles present Tubby Turdner's Celebrity Avalanche
Another one of those rare occasions when a band in its career has almost gotten everything right. Year 2001, these wacky geniuses of the more 'crooked' and experimental noise rock release what will be their swan song. And so we have skewed and limping rhythms, dissonances, split voices, TSO-like chants, out-of-tune guitars, and bursts of genius coming down like rain... Another band that deserved so much more visibility. more
Morbid angel -Domination
The Morbid Angel arrive in 1995 with their fourth album; continuing in alphabetical order, "Domination" is its title. It’s the demonic and dark growl of David that opens the album, immediately followed by Pete's drumming and the sick guitars of Trey and Erik: it’s the beginning of a hellish journey, which concludes with the almost six minutes of "Hatework," where a militaristic percussive backdrop guides the listening of a track that brings forth alive anguish with its funeral pace... APOCALYPTIC... more
Bloc Party
The 2005 debut "Silent Alarm" was an overwhelming electric shock: a Music that aimed straight towards the English '80s New Wave. Then a decline that hit me, negatively. And it's a shame. more
Premiata Forneria Marconi -L'Isola Di Niente
A record that experiments with "new sounds," more mature than the previous ones and played much better thanks to the technical mastery of Patrick Djivas. The intro of the title track and a significant part of "Via Lumière" feel directly lifted from "Red" by KC, while "Dolcissima Maria" is a poignant progressive ballad. more
Third Ear Band
The essence of extreme psychedelia, "Elements" and "Alchemy" are albums from another planet. more
Ken Kesey
Great writer, author of the best-seller "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" from 1962, an important figure of the '60s hippie counterculture. He was a close friend of the Grateful Dead, with whom he experimented with the "Acid Tests," musical and cultural gatherings where guests were "put at ease" by the consumption of psychoactive substances, such as LSD... more
Kaleidoscope
Excellent psychedelic band from Los Angeles, active from 1966 to 1970, creators of at least a couple of great albums, very unique as they featured all sorts of instruments like banjo, violin, dobro, dulcimer... A fundamental work remains "Beacon From Mars," a true gem from 1968... more
Van Morrison
Few artists can boast a career like that of "Van The Man." He has crafted great albums for at least 5 decades, with a distinctive style, exceptional vocal mastery, and powerful lyrics. In my opinion, the first part of his career remains fundamental, with timeless works such as "Astral Weeks," "Moondance," and "Saint Dominic's Preview," where music transcends into Art. more
