Vinile I have it ★★★★★

One of the most mad and disturbing masterpieces that can be associated with the Kraut-Psychedelic rabble of all time. A must-have record!

Also to be heard "Lord Krisna Von Goloka," 1972, by my friend Sergius Golowin.

I miss that! Thanks for the tip, I'll make sure to fill that gap as soon as possible :)

I've got it! It's grandiloquent, too much, 2 CDs of heavily armored kraut. Why don't they make albums like this anymore? Or maybe they do, and I'm just not getting them...

Psycho, cool stuff out there...even today! Anyway, it’s useless, I fear that the quality of the drugs was much higher back in the days of this record!

Perhaps the most has already been said and there is less room for originality and wonder than 30 years ago. Drugs are still good today, they can help, but ideas are what’s needed. Otherwise, all addicts would be artists.

True, very true, Gianluì... If you have nothing inside, drugs are useless. Although I must say that the overall quality has dropped a bit in the last 10 years, since it has become fashionable to get high.

Wipers: Youth of America

One of the most beautiful records of the '80s, period. Greg Sage is a God. Post-punk vibrations, hints of psychedelia, and stunning pop sensibility for one of the greatest yet criminally underrated bands in history...

Indeed, yes. One of the most beautiful albums, that's it ahah.

That's right, at least at first, really played by just a few... then mentioned as an influence by the Seattle bands ten years later, and a little more light on them as well... but not that much.

'Over The Edge' is another incredible album. The first three are must-haves for sure.

Expanded Punk Rock. 5 palettes are not enough here.

I can't see it as Punk :) It starts from there, sure, but... it becomes something else. Something huge.

We can say that this is where the so-called Postpunk, New Wave begins, call it what you will, but it's from '77, and it already goes way beyond the various anarchies in the United Kingdom.

Yes, for me too, Post-Punk and Wave start as early as 1977, and this is one of the focal points. Revolutionary and undoubtedly way ahead of the Punk of '77 that was around at the time (which I appreciate a lot, just to be clear). Post-Punk starts from here; we agree.

Even from the first of the Talking Heads, for example! Which, however, I find pretty crappy, even though it's important. Well, I'm off to whip up something to eat, damn being a vegetarian...

AaAAaAaargh! I'm pretending I didn't read the blasphemy you fired at the BEST Talking Heads album ;) anyway, this one is nice, but the two that follow have a lot more punch.

For the first time, I don't agree with either of them, and what the hell. The next two don't provide any breaks to this, not even a bit, even though we're on the same level. And how the hell does Silas make a record like "77" that makes you feel shit about it? Malnati XD
SilasLang

I'm sorry, but I think they suck, ahahah... always have! While I acknowledge their undeniable importance! Regarding Wire, these, Chairs Missing, and 154 are three masterpieces one after another showing astonishing growth!! Bye

It's just like you said in your last comment, Silas: most bands would sell their souls for a HALF masterpiece in their discography, and they cranked out three FULL ones in just two years. It was a rock that moved at embarrassing speeds. 1977, the era of the first Talking Heads (indeed) but above all, I would add, the first Suicide - for me, THE album of that year.

That's also terrifying/fundamental/avant-garde/ cool. But I've always seen them as alien to Post-Punk; I've always seen them as a separate galaxy, albeit highly influential. I'm not quite sure why.

For me, that's also an island album :)

Wool: Box Set

12 aug 13

Great "alternative" Rock album from the mid-'90s, with hints of Punk and psychedelia. Wool emerged from the ashes of Scream, a hardcore band from Washington DC. The vocalist, the great Pete Stahl, we will find in the future at the microphone of many great projects [Goatsnake, Earthlings?, Desert Sessions, and Orquesta Del Desierto among others]. An excellent work, this Box Set...
