Marillion: Fugazi
21 nov 13
In my opinion, this is the masterpiece of the Fish era. More mature in sound than the first, more experimental than the nevertheless remarkable "Misplaced Childhood."

    Good job, but they hardly ever tell me anything. Misplaced is good, for example, but it leaves me as cold as an iceberg; the famous spark just doesn't ignite, not even with this one.

    In my opinion, there are better albums than the first three Marillion in that New Prog sector, but I must acknowledge that here we have Assassing, Jigsaw, and that wonderful prog-pop gem Punch&Judy. I agree that it's the best of the three; however, the real masterpiece is the 18 minutes of Grendel, the b-side of the first historic 12".

    "Grendel," absolutely. Outside the LP group, that’s where all the Genius of the early Marillion lies. But even for me (in their genre), they aren’t my favorites from that era, and neither are Pendragon, to be honest, though they were exceptional in their early days, but...

    ...setting aside the Asia Minor, which I always consider as a distinct entity.

    Of course, that’s where you have to go. Lao, Tales from The Lush Attic, and The Wake are musically another planet. Being an indie band has helped them avoid the compromises that Marillion had to accept, and quite willingly, considering they were filling Wembley back in '85. The credit goes 80% to Fish, a great communicator on stage, capable of holding multiple curtains with the audience that rightly adored him. Asia Minor, like England and Machiavel, have the sole fault of having released their work during the only "thumbs down" years for prog (1977-80).

    In short, I’ll have to take the CD back in my hands and listen to it again... because when I bought it, after one or two listens, I was quite indifferent and disappointed, so I put it back on the shelf, where it still lies. Let it be clear that I have great respect for Marillion, both the Fish era and Hogarth. It’s also true that Grendel is the manifesto of their aesthetic; I would say that in that suite lies their essence.

    A good way to reconnect with this album is to go listen to "She Chameleon" when the keyboard solo kicks in, around 2' and 40"... no comments needed.

I produced this. I played on this album. I even SUNG on this album. And among others, I invited to play some old acquaintances named John Zorn, Marc Ribot, Nanà Vasconcelos, Ryuichi Sakamoto...

At the first, epic listening (and I started to get to know them with this)... it was something I had NEVER experienced: I couldn't keep up with the tempo of a single piece. The only thing that comes close is a drunken bicycle ride at night, with no lights, in a downpour on a flooded road.

    Absolutely the first primordial form of sludge-metal can be found in this song:

    27 oct 13
    Even Paper Cuts by Nirvana, from the same year, with Dale Crover on drums, stinks of sludge from the sound to the vocals (the voice, regarding sludge, should not be underestimated at all). Embryos, definitely embryos. Occhioodiodio will bring stylistic fulfillment.

This album, on the other hand, deserves a reevaluation, too often overlooked due to the "trendy" production of factotum Marcus Miller. A Miles enchanted by Prince and new funk-tronic inspirations, a beautifully deep record beneath the apparent synthetic veneer, with extended pieces and flashes of genuine genius.

Weak, uninspired, commercial. Unlistenable moments ("Mr Morrisine," for example) mixed with covers of Michael Jackson and Cindy Lauper. The only moment of true great fusion is "Katia," thanks to McLaughlin. For the rest, one of the worst records of Miles ever.

    Masterpiece seems a bit exaggerated to me. I love Mono and this album, but I prefer the subsequent ones.
  • Lao Tze
    9 dec 12
    Maybe the question is: which one to rate lower than 5? In this, the Mono are one of those bands that never leave me in doubt. I am too attached to this. If there had been another one like it instead. But let's say it quietly, because I know that for other users they provoke less pleasant effects...

By far the best road movie ever made - featuring just one professional actor and an unforgettable, icy, and unsuspected James Taylor, known only to those familiar with him as a singer-songwriter. Hellman is a genius, as well as one of the most underrated directors in history.

Those 17 minutes of the title track (among the most WILD things of the '90s, for sure)... if you play them on a Pioneer A-209R amplifier cranked up high... first, they’ll blow out your speakers. Then they’ll level your room. And maybe they'll even generate an earthquake of magnitude 7.5 with the epicenter in your stereo, burying you alive.

But can someone explain to me what it means that the MSK are "R-E-P-E-T-I-T-I-V-E"...? - I mean, can one convey through music the eternal circularity of the Vedas and Indian myth without the hypnosis of repetitiveness... ? (oh my, what a sentence that turned out to be...). Anyway: NO.

    mmmm...I have their album [Satya] but it doesn't tell me much..
  • GIANLUIGI67
    9 sep 13
    feel in the magic box... it seems to me that they have a circular sound, which is based on almost hypnotic repetitiveness. With due distances, very different groups but it's the same talk they give me when I listen to "Alchimy" by the Third Ear Band. The important thing is that repetitiveness doesn’t turn into boredom. To truly feel, one must experience a complete work and not scattered pieces.
  • Lao Tze
    9 sep 13
    Well done, you hit the mark. The problem is that if you don't like music without key changes, I'm not referring to you but in general... you can't stand a whole album of this. Perhaps, even more than the Third Ear Band, they are the evolution of people like Quintessence, who with the naivety of their times and the rampant hippie movement tried to do the same thing - "In Blissful Company," 1969, with the last track ending with a sitar C (ideally) prolonged infinitely.
