I usually don't like compilations either, but every now and then one comes along, this one I really don't think helps :)

A brief review, but quite enjoyable. The initial question itself is a nice discussion starter. Unfortunately, I'm not sure how to respond. Since I'm here, I’ll point out something interesting: this month, at newsstands, you can find a nice album attached to the latest issue of Musica Jazz dedicated to the recordings of Cuneiform Records, and there’s a small section for Soft Machine as well.

I didn't find anything, zaireeka. The title of the piece is "You can never hold back spring", here (http://www.pagineradio.com/radiomagazine/playlist/articoli/pl4944.asp) watch out for the spaces, they were streaming it from what I understood in October, but I have no idea if it's still online. Bye

So damn... let's say that Alice is beautiful in a different way... I actually struggle to find an ugly one in her discography. As for faber, francesco, I think mentioning him in this context is misleading regarding the content of the album. Bye

I don't know... this album is one of my absolute favorites, not just among Waits' work, an album that, years later, has lost none of its dark beauty and power. It's one of those albums for which I find it hard to find the words. I remember being literally enchanted and overwhelmed by "All stripped down," then I was "reassured" by "Who are you." I was mad for the scattered echoes, for the sick and bitter sounds. Then I absolutely loved "I don't wanna grow up" ... but explaining the reasons for it... the review is very heartfelt, but I believe Faber has nothing to do with this context.

I am glad that Amalia Rodrigues was remembered. She was the one who said the opening line. I was hoping that someone would quote her. She is definitely the first one to listen to. Then there are all the others; Teresa Salgueiro from Madredeus is probably the most famous today, but Bévinda is also a great interpreter, just like Dulce Pontes, of whom there are several very interesting albums. Cesaria Evora, as Frantz says, has different references, but she is equally wonderful; I really like "Live a l'olympia," for example. If you want, kappa, I can send you some titles of these interpreters so you can get an idea. As for the rest, if this review has awakened or reignited interest in fado for someone, it makes me very happy. Bye, thanks :)
