    "Original Album Series" from the first to "Little Criminals" for 17 euros and 50 cents (not bad).

    I slightly prefer Good Old Boys, but it's definitely a great album... 12 Songs is another great record.

Randy Newman: Little Criminals
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
Fourth masterpiece in a row from singer-songwriter Randy Newman. It’s all a blooming of memorable tracks. From the satire of "Short People" (which got him into trouble) to the classic "Baltimore," from the chilling "In Germany Before The War" (which tears apart mountains of other discographies) to the seemingly festive parade of "Sigmund Freud's Impersonation of Albert Einstein in America" (with yet another surgical takedown of the "American system"), ending with a "Rider in the Rain" featuring the Eagles (which fits perfectly like sausage in those mythical beans) and the ambiguous "Old Man on the Farm" (is it or isn't it an autobiographical song?).
Excellent debut of a thoroughbred in Afro-American music.

    Yes, wonderful record. Try "Hits the Road" too, it's even better.

    and is guilty only of coming after rock bottom...

    No, you're mistaken! Rock Bottom is from 1974, this is from 1970... perhaps you meant to say that it has the misfortune of belonging to the discography of an artist who produced a record of immense greatness like "Rock Bottom" (which, exactly, does not diminish its value).

    Also Moon in June (on Third), and the two by Matching Mole came first! Rock Bottom seals and, perhaps, closes Wyatt's peak moment.

    oh, I made a mistake... this is the one from "Las Vegas Tango"!!! which is a fabulous track... I simply confused it with "Ruth is stranger than Richard" (I don't know how but I did) excellent album, which, by the way, comes after Rock Bottom... "The End of an Ear is indeed a challenging album", very particular... there are no the craziness of the early machines, there's none of that sensation of wandering in the most hidden spaces of the soul like in Rock Bottom... nor the enchanting sweetness of "oh Caroline"... then it's almost entirely instrumental... it's another Wyatt... I confess I haven't listened to it in a while... and, indeed, I mostly remember "Las Vegas Tango"... sorry for the misunderstanding...

    Pure free jazz in "To nick everyone"! "To mark everywhere" starts like Davis's "Spanish key"… Wyatt, with part 1 of "Las vegas…", proves to be the greatest experimenter alongside Buckley… and with Stratos here with us.

    Some tracks by Matching Mole don't stray too far from the conventional Canterbury sound… instead, the excellent examples are found in "Marchides," "Instant Kitten," and "Instant Pussy."

    listen to Wyatt's albums with Michael Mantler (at least The Hapless Child), they are a marvel

    Even though they do very different things, I've always related Tim Buckley to Robert Wyatt... for the feeling their music conveys... for that wandering... and certainly also for the incredible melancholy of their voices...

    Oh, really... the new vocal geniuses would be Yorke and the lead singer of Alt-J?! It's either a matter of settling for less or working harder, I guess.. ;)

The Engel/Walker ceases to be an unusual singer-songwriter and transforms into a visionary who deconstructs the song form with a marked cinematic and expressionist attitude. The result is an absolute masterpiece (which is overshadowed by an excessive legend that promotes it as unlistenable and/or inaccessible) that terrifies or melancholizes depending on the circumstances. Needless to say, full marks.

    I believe this is, along with the debut, clearly Hackett's best solo album among the electric ones. He won't be able to match these levels again. With the acoustic/classical albums, it’s another story.

    I agree with you, although in the new millennium he released "Out of the Tunnel's Mouth" and "Beyond the Shrouded Horizon," which are beautiful from the first to the last song.

    I found them quite professional, but as it should be at this point in his career. Exactly what you would expect from him and not more; however, you’re right, these are two works well beyond the mere dignified task, there are some beautiful pieces within.

    "Every day" has always fascinated me; the solo is impressive and is a great demonstration of Hackett's note suspension—nothing compared to many metal techies and other stuff. "The virgin and the gypsy" could easily be compared to many bucolic ballads of the Canterbury sound.

It's definitely an album of "teenage" songs. But these are "teenage" songs that ooze purity and sincerity, in addition to being beautifully arranged (thanks to Van Dyke Parks) and sung divinefully. 4 deserved stars.
