I'm not particularly fond of this band; I've always found them excessively monotonous. However, they have composed some 5-star works, which, in my opinion, are more than enough to define the entire career of this group. This live concert is the most genuine summary of their history. There's more adrenaline in these live tracks, performed by a gritty and inspired Johnson and a virtuously stunning Young. Great performance!

Adramelch: Irae Melanox

26 feb 15

After the debut and The Etruscan Prophecy by Dark Quarterer, this album represents the pinnacle of Italian epic metal. Sophisticated and inspired, it remarkably balances heavy, doom, power, and prog influences! Enchanting, romantic, decadent, at times even depressive, it never strays from the epic aspects that have made it a masterpiece!

Alda: Passage

6 sep 15

Incredible album. On first listen, the main influences had escaped me, namely a folk/doom very close to Primordial, combined with the black metal of the early Satyricon, but devoid of the northern and dark atmosphere that characterizes the early releases.

Uncontaminated, melancholic, sublime, and evocative: when extreme music becomes musical quality!

America: The Best of America: Centenary Collection

For heaven's sake: not a group that would make you rip your hair out, but having their collection in the car is always good... indeed, it’s essential. Quite enjoyable.

Amon Düül II: Wolf City

23 oct 15

Emerging from the darkness that had subdued them in their early albums, and from the Eastern melodies of "Carnival in Babylon," the Teutons take a few tracks to summarize the good they had accomplished in their previous recordings while simultaneously shifting to a decadent and dreamy atmosphere, creating a thrilling "passing of the baton" between prog and psychedelia. They return to fully convince.

And when would they stop? :-D

In fact: it was just a way of saying that Carnival is a little inferior to this album, which I believe has nothing to envy from Yeti and the debut. This one is so varied and packed with influences that I find it even easier to digest and more fluid to listen to. Without taking anything away from what they did before, in fact, my favorite remains Phallus Dei.

Yes, this is very smooth, but I still like Carnival a bit more, Tanz a bit higher, and the first two up there are obviously unmatched, it’s just personal nuances.

Indeed, until '72 they were incredible. Amazing also the live in London just a year later...

I have great respect for Blackmore's Night, I like them a lot, but I prefer Angelo... and he doesn't just copy, he "reworks"...

Angelo Branduardi: Branduardi canta Yeats

28 apr 15

Among vagabonds, buffoons, and violinists, the acoustic notes of this gem unfold. One of the works that anticipates that musical philosophy known as unplugged! With excellent outcomes for the Italianized poetics of Yeats. The most "troubadour-like" of the Italian troubadours.

Angelo Branduardi: Il ladro

28 apr 15

Lean and innovative. Its veiled notes and rarefied atmosphere make it an excellent product for the twilight. Conceptually sophisticated record: to be savored slowly and with many, many takes...

Angelo Branduardi: Pane e rose

5 jan 16

...it's not even the fact that he wanted to experiment with pop and electronics, it's just that it remains a damn boring product, where only "Pioggia" and "L'albero" stand out, the latter seeming like a preview of the "minimalsperimental" "Il Ladro" (released four years later). The only truly bad album by Angelo.
