    I hate grades out of ten. I hate grades. I hate stars. But the album is superb :)

    But rating is life (incredibly useful for cataloging preferences XD), star ratings are life, but:
    a) we would need half stars like in rateyourmusic
    b) Filmscoop has instilled in me an absolute preference for the decimal scale.

    Anyway, I didn’t know what to write ahah, but really yes, best Italian singer-songwriter.

    Cataloging is systematic. I've realized that I can't catalog all my shades of preference :D

    Wonderful album. I would have given it 9 and 3/4, or maybe even 10--.

alice: park hotel
CD Audio I have it ★★★★
Wow, what a cool album, essential, mystical, dense with suggestions, beautifully played and sung. Yes, the new Alice is great, a notch above the one from the Battistiani period, where my appreciation was more fluctuating. Here we have eight very valid songs and so much taste; I can't wait for the next chronological purchase coming soon.

    The musicians playing in here... Wow. Anyway, yes, the then-new Alice was incredible in my opinion. "Park Hotel" is a beautiful album, but what luludia says about at least two of the subsequent albums is true.
Anthony Phillips: The Geese And The Ghost
CD Audio I have it ★★★★★
A truly beautiful solo debut from Philips, an extremely tranquil work with a relaxed rhythm. The listener is gently guided step by step to savor the sweetness of the naturalistic atmospheres draped in a delicate, almost melancholic veil. A wonderful gem where the small musical textures are revealed gradually, breathtaking.

    Let's be clear here, I would have given it a 5 regardless just for the beauty of the cover. XD

    One of the most beautiful and akin to the music of the album that I have ever seen.

    @[adrmb] I found this tag just because I listened to it today and came to read something about it here. Absurd, who knows how long ago you tagged me haha. Anyway, I love Ant, definitely one of my favorites from when I was listening to mostly prog, and I'm getting back into it after a long time. The album is uniquely beautiful, but a special mention goes to Master Of Time, the demo/bonus track, which I think is one of the best things he's done.
