Agnelli and his sons in the pasture borrow from Greg Dulli, exchanging collaborations (My Time Has Come by the Twilight Singers with La vedova bianca) and produce an album that has nothing original. It’s a shame that Dulli has given them all this space even in his concerts.

Listen to "Powder Burns" by the Twilight Singers and save yourselves from such an abomination.

    I liked "Germs" back then. And not much else. Then, Agnelli is as likable to me as a hemorrhoid attack, but that's another story.

Metaphysics.
The listener is the character leaning out of the window with his woman, in front of a fairy-tale landscape where anything can happen.

    in a nutshell...what a drag! :) (don't take it the wrong way, I said that just for laughs)

    not coincidentally cover signed "Paul Whitehead", look that the two are already in heaven, visibility on departure, this album may be immature, but I like it too much.

Hello Talking Heads, you’re a bunch of amateurs compared to us, but we dedicate half of the album to you and we’ll use the other half for a jam in the name of the past that won’t return.

    Oh yes, it must be out of pity and not out of respect that Fripp collaborated with them on Fear of Music or was (partially) inspired by them for a masterpiece like Discipline. I fear that reading this stuff, Fripp and Byrne would laugh for hours.

    Oh right, Belew played with the TH and with Bowie, it’s from the collaborations between them and Fripp that the latter chose Belew as a collaborator for the new Crimson. Strange, huh? But come on... (aside from this, 99% of rock artists and the like are nothing compared to King Crimson, but let’s take it easy with the claims).

    This statement is ridiculous, Lark's. The Talking Heads are history.

    oooooooooolé! And we needed these definitions... just to liven up the atmosphere.

    Now could you kindly tell me which group comes first?
    It's natural that Belew, having merged, kept his roots with him, but the fact is that even in the press at the time (just read the booklet of the album), the criticism was precisely that they had copied too much from the Talking Heads (who are truly nothing compared to K.C., obviously.)
    I said nothing more.
    It's no coincidence that the singing in Discipline has nothing to do with that in Three of a Perfect Pair...

    Let me be clear: just take a quick 10 seconds to browse my profile and you'll notice that my favorite group is the Kc. But Pippe, Talking Heads are a great band; either you prove it to me objectively or you just say "I don’t like them."
    End.

    That said, nothing personal, welcome among us. Just let's take it slow, since we're talking about one of the most influential groups of the '80s (They influenced the Crimsons, sorry if that's not enough).

    Alright, alright, my bad man!
    I also really like Songs about buildings and food and Remain in Light, I just don’t see them as very deep sonically compared to the masters KC (not & the sunshine band :D), and I really find it hard to believe that Fripp learned much from Byrne rather than the other way around. Anyway, not a problem!

    While not loving the T.H., I fully agree with Pana and HJ...

    Alright, which group comes first? And what the hell does it matter if Fripp disintegrated the Crimson every three years and completely changed their skin? The Crimson have never been a band; they are a constantly evolving musical project. And Fripp, being a good collaborator of the TH, was (partially) inspired by them for Discipline. It’s not like Fripp learns from Byrne or vice versa; they were collaborators, period. And the TH (says someone who has the Crimson on the podium of favorites, unmovable, not the Heads) are not crap even compared to the Crimson, they are simply less profound, it's just that they are different things. You could have just said you liked them less, and that would have been better (and I wouldn’t have found anything strange in that; I've said that the Crimson outshine 99% of rock groups and their surroundings throughout history). Your definition as written is a massive load of crap.

    Then if you listen to the criticism claiming they copied the TH... come on, it's clear that they've (you've) missed some points in the thousand collaborations between Fripp/Eno/Byrne/TH/KC throughout the '70s and early '80s.
  • hjhhjij

    Collaborations from which Fripp drew inspiration for the new Crimson direction (especially the first one, the latter less so). And I don't think he considered them trivial, given that he collaborated with them. It's obvious that Byrne leveraged the genius and mind of Fripp, who certainly wasn't collaborating just for fun.

    Was it the egg or the chicken that came first? ahahahah... anyhow, nice little disk. But my favorites from Fripp and co. remain others (Larks, Red...) In Crimson version 2, however, it's clear that besides Talking Heads, Fripp also had an ear towards certain THIS HEAT.

    I've always been intrigued by these, but I've never explored them in depth; they remain one of my major gaps from the '90s...

    Try to listen to it, they also won the Targa Tenco thanks to this album, which is definitely a better award than any victory at Sanremo.
Magnetic Fields: 69 love songs
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
3 discs, 69 songs.
I mean, can you believe it?
Maybe Bobby Solo has done 30 in his entire career.

Anyway, I wouldn't dwell too much on the off-base comparison; rather, I'd prefer to suggest that you listen to this magn-etic/magn-ificent/magniloquent album.

Bizarre melodies, a poetic and piercing vocal style, an unimaginable variety of instruments.
A must.
Marillion: Misplaced Childhood
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
A fantasy of tears and heartbeats.
Marillion: Seasons End
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
Although I consider Fish the only true singer of Marillion, this first album without him is almost a manifesto. Dreamy melodies and reverberated guitars perfectly blend with Hogarth's vocals, who will gift us another great album with "Afraid of Sunlight."
My Bloody Valentine: Loveless
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
I’m still undecided whether to consider it an emblematic disco of genius or simply an overrated underground mess. In any case, it has marked my adolescence, so one cannot deny the emotional connection.
Samuele Bersani: Caramella Smog
CD Audio I have it ★★★★
The music is pleasant and refined, the singing never banal. One of the few Italian albums of recent years that I own.
Rough, sterile, dry, gritty.
A gem to be re-listened to multiple times.
Steve Reich: Music for 18 Musicians
CD Audio I lack ★★★★★
The absence in the perpetual repetition.
Sugar: Copper Blue
CD Audio I have it ★★★★
Not a masterpiece, but definitely a powerful and significant album that showcases Bob Mould's new personality in the post-Husker Du period. That today he has indulged in more sentimental songs (even ending up with 'Circles' in the O.C. soundtrack) well, that's not my concern. However, I would truly recommend 'Copper Blue' to anyone looking for something unrefined and gritty.

    For me, a masterpiece of noisy pop... a record that I really love :) After Sugar, nomen omen, Mould will start to mold.
