Mayo Thompson: Corky's Debt to His Father
Vinile I have it ★★★★★
Work from 1970 by Mayo Thompson of the Red Krayola. Beautiful album. Between Americana, Country Rock/Folk, and lysergic emanations.

    Ah, what a beautiful thrill to the heart! It belongs to that select circle of works - like Oar by Skip Spence, like The Cycle is Complete by Bruce Palmer - that somewhat create a school of their own, that can encompass all the genres you rightly mention but ultimately end up being simply uncategorizable and, above all, incomparable. They all remind you of something without truly recalling anyone. Mayo's "lo-fi" approach on this album (almost thirty years ahead of the so-called slackers...) really makes me smile, especially considering that years later the same Thompson will be one of the most sought-after producers from post-punk to indie-rock on both sides of the Ocean.

The first two of the carne puppets are disks that drive me crazy because I love them so much. While in the subsequent "II" they can be found playing a sort of crazily energetic country&western with the grace of the dirtiest punk rockers, here it’s just pure hardcore madness. Recorded, by their own admission, with too much acid in circulation, it’s one of the dirtiest and most sick records of punk. Awkward tracks, a high Beefheart shouting and howling disjointed phrases at the helm of a hardcore combo that...

One of the most "drinkable" works from my favorite crazy geniuses. Drinkable, of course, applied to the Melvins. So here we go with smoothness, featuring genius oddities complete with horns ["Bar-X-The Rocking M"], funeral marches from heroin addicts ['Goggles"], deformed pop songs ["Skin Horse," beautiful] and even a sort of lullaby ["Black Bock"] that induces dreams that are anything but golden... I love them.

Vinile I have it ★★★★★
And what the hell is there to say? A long, exhilarating psychic torture. Pure masochism... Milestone
A classic example of an album that everyone seems to love regardless, but to me, it doesn't seem all that amazing. A pleasant little record of "Indie Pop" played with a Folk band setup. The reputation this album has would be better suited for those two masterpieces by Olivia Tremor Control, while still staying within the Elephant 6 realm.

    16 jan 14
    ashahahah, it's true HJ...even if I might have expressed myself poorly. Because I really like Murder Ballads and the piano agony of The Boatman's Call. However, then it really starts to bore me from Nocturama onwards. I did like Grinderman though :D
  • hjhhjij
    16 jan 14
    Nocturama has only one beautiful track. The first Grinderman was pleasant but a bit too "unspontaneous" for my taste. I agree about Cave post '97; he has declined for me too, in this sense the best is indeed the last one, which I find excellent. Anyway, the peak for me is from 1980 to 1988; there Cave cannot be beaten, both with Birthday and Bad Seeds, and I think this here might be my favorite, all the madness of Birthday but more mature and entirely poured into the mephitic blues.
  • SilasLang
    16 jan 14
    Is the latest one really that beautiful? I've heard good things about it, but I still haven't gotten around to it... you know what, I'll give it a listen, alright...

    The second Grinderman was really nothing special, the gas tank was empty. The last one is the best since 1997, even though it's not a masterpiece. Anyway, give it a try.

    I take all of the Australian's discography, including the multiple collaborations in soundtracks and countless secondary projects, and I keep it as an absolute and precious gem of my musical knowledge.

    Guys, yes, the Birthday Party were from another planet.. to say that I adore them is an understatement, and "Prayers On Fire" is one of those records that makes your brains bleed.. Regarding the bad seeds, nothing to say, "From Her To Eternity", this one and "Your Funeral, My Trial" are equally hellish and essential for me. Then it doesn't excite me like it used to, but up until "The Boatman's Call" anyway, great class...
  • Goldfinger
    25 feb 14
    Personally, I absolutely love Tender Prey, probably for sentimental reasons.
  • hjhhjij
    25 feb 14
    But "Tender Prey" is a huge record too. It's truly immense, just like the previous one and the Birthdays. But I’m one of those who barely listen to three Cave albums in total.
  • SilasLang
    26 feb 14
    I gladly throw away "Nocturama" (oh god, after buying it, so not that gladly…). Let's say from there on, something broke definitively. I liked the first self-titled album by Grinderman, even though it’s certainly not up to the levels of the good old days. The fact is, Nicolino Caverna and his friends, both the ones from the birthday party and the semi-bad ones, will always remain in my heart.

OFF!: First Four EPs
Vinile I have it ★★★★★
The OFF! In other words, a joyful bunch of veterans coming together to unleash shards of pure, rancid, and unfiltered hardcore punk as if it were still 1981. 16 tracks for 18 minutes flat. Nothing new, of course. But I revel in this stuff like a hedgehog. On the microphone, we have what I consider to be one of the greatest vocalists of the genre: Mr. Keith Morris [Black Flag/Circle Jerks].
One of the most "punk" Rap albums I've ever had the chance to listen to (in the sense of freedom, madness, vulgarity, fun, and the genius it possesses). A madman. He and the Clan have been among the coolest things in the history of Rap.
Opal: Early Recordings
Vinile I have it ★★★★★
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....

Matthew Smith was a bit of a genius in my opinion. And this album from 2001 is a masterpiece of raw psychedelic garage pop. An album I've worn out, along with its predecessor, the equally cool "Out There In The Dark." They may be revivalists, yes, but damn, Matthew had something extra: he knew how to write fantastic songs.

Another small masterpiece by Matthew Smith and company, released in '99. 13 low-fidelity gems, featuring sticky and beautiful freakbeat melodies ("Georgie don't you Know," "Togheterness," "Corruptable"), garage punk outbursts ("Song for Inoshiro Honda"), and lysergic wonders (the almost Barrett-esque "Eclipsed," the stunning title track, and the long interstellar trip of the closing "There's No Escape From The Infinite")_The Detroit of recent years, nothing compared to the White Stripes..

CD Audio I have it ★★★
Every now and then, a disk resurfaces that I had even forgotten I owned. Year 1993. Another meteor of the era, vanished into thin air after an album or so. Decent rock with a moderate edge and some 'southern' influences, with that unmistakable mood of 'Seattle Sound' dating it no later than 1995. 3.5. Now it goes back to rest in the attic of forgotten things...
