Dalis Car: The Waking Hour
Vinile I have it ★★★★★
Uncomfortable record in the dual task of putting an end to the journey of two of the most important British bands of the '80s. It does so in the moment of awakening, where dreams accumulate before fading away like dust in the wind. Blurred images of Greek-Cypriot caravans led by a gothic declaiming shaman remain. MINDBLOWING.
Danny Wilson: Meet Danny Wilson
Vinile I have it ★★★★★
Gathering the legacy of Gaucho and The Nightfly and transporting it to Aberdeen is not just another Atlantic: that indiscreet charm of Pop perfectionism sometimes transcends time, revealing its scent with every listen, intoxicating the senses.
David Bowie: Stage
Vinile I have it ★★★★★
The best live performance of the Thin White Duke, not only for the presence of Alomar, Belew, House, etc., but for the repertoire that in '78 revealed every facet of his career. The double CD also offers the original setlist of the show, highlighting the great sequence of songs. For me, a true rediscovery.

    here, I needed this report :) I’ve always seen it around, but I was worried it was a package.

    Go ahead, the remastering is a beautiful job and there are 3 extra tracks. Got it for 4.99. Used to vinyl split into various sections, here you have the show as it was. It opens with Warszawa and when it gives way to the riff of Heroes, it's truly an emotion. It's like hearing another album.
Demon: The Plague
Vinile I have it ★★★★★
The connecting ring between the New Wave of British Heavy Metal and the New Prog of the early '80s: a forgotten concept about the miseries of humankind at the mercy of a terrible virus, rendered with rhythmic power and airy, solemn solutions. A rare case of hybrid for open minds,
1980: the electronic kraut atmosphere of the previous decade gives way to nervous beats dripping with sweat from a spectral and provocative dancefloor. Here Mussolini, communism, Adolf Hitler, and Jesus Christ are lined up to get in.

    Photonic. Stripped. Spattered.

    Dusseldorf on the shields of the Neue Deutsche Welle. The German language makes everything so terribly MARTIAL. Just try to imagine an album like that in English...

    Ten years later, Nitzer Ebb were among the coolest things in England, a sign that Delgado and Gorl were the forerunners of that "martiality."
Dr. Z: Three Parts to My Soul
Vinile I have it ★★★★★
The rarest item in the Vertigo catalog, soon to be withdrawn from the market and becoming an object of cult. An obsessive and threatening sound like few others, capable of hypnotizing the senses. Only the essence of evil reigns unchallenged in these infamous grooves.

    I have a distant memory of this album... I need to find the CD.

    I attempted in the past to buy this fucking Vertigo catalog work, but suicidal madness, at the right moment, fortunately gave way to a glimmer of self-preserving clarity. The price was too high compared to the work, and not being a speculative merchant collector, I didn't feel like making the crazy move unlike so many other things that I consider much more musically and historically important (see Tomorrow, S:F:Sorrow, Think Pink, etc., all strictly in first original English press). In my opinion, Dr Z is simply a good prog album; I don't know the themes and I’m not interested in them, but musically it falls within a certain conventionality given by the instruments in use, especially the piano, with transitions and harmonic developments that are far from original, yet still enjoyable for that.

    P.S. Lastly, I believe there is more truth in sounds (their effects) than in everything that is said.

    Heard after years, excellent "resurrection," a very enjoyable album, only for die-hard prog enthusiasts. However, giving it full marks seems exaggerated to me.

    What I love about this album is the production, so raw that it makes it seem even older, the prominent role of the harpsichord, very sinister, and the voice, awkward like those that will come with the '77 Punk. Too many unusual points to make the concept theme not exactly irrelevant, but not the primary aspect either. The Akarma reissue I possess exactly reproduces the original double-gatefold artwork and also includes the two tracks from the first and only 45, stuff from an earlier era in a very different Psych-Pop vein compared to the album. As long as it exists, at a very accessible price.
