Goran Kuzminac Ehi ci stai

19 sep 05

Voto:

The memory operation continues excellently: I know 3 remarkable songs by Goran Kuzminac (Stasera l'aria è fresca, Stella del Nord, Tempo) and one ordinary one (Ehi, ci stai?). It's not much, but enough to form a fairly good opinion of him. Given what's out there, he really didn't deserve to be forgotten.

Dire Straits On Every Street

I agree with almost everything, even the 4.5, which however cannot be given. And to think that some critics deemed it appropriate to massacre this album, claiming that Mark Knopfler was washed up and other nonsense. Personally, I would downsize "Calling Elvis," which seems to me a track made to capture as wide an audience as possible, while I would instead highlight the splendid "You and Your Friend," a true guitar festival, especially in the finale. But these are trifles.

4.56 x 9 = 41.04. 8 x 5 = 40. 41.04 - 40 = 1.04. The ninth grade is a 1, but the one who gave it is even ashamed of their nickname... let alone their name!

Henryk Mikolaj Gòrecki Symphony No.3 for Soprano and Orchestra, "Symphony of Sorrowful Songs"

A true traditionalist at heart: even in classical music, I remain attached to the "classics," so I am not familiar with this recent work. But I will know it soon, thanks to this excellent review.

The Police Zenyatta Mondatta

Voto:

For me, the weak link of the Police was "Ghost in the Machine." This one seems like a copy of "Reggatta de Blanc," not done very well, but not too bad either. I didn't mind the instrumental "Behind My Camel," but it went completely unnoticed.

I don’t have the strength to move one of those horns, but usually I round 4.5 up to 5.

Slobodan, what do you want to regulate? Not even traffic...

The Police Ghost In The Machine

Voto:

As an example to showcase the genius of Sting and the Police, this one seems perhaps the least valid: it's a transitional album between the "rough" Police of "Reggatta De Blanc" and "Zenyatta Mondatta" and the more intellectual ones, already completely Sting-like, of "Synchronicity." Still, it's not too bad. The review, on the other hand, is good.
