I added some DeSamples! As for the grass, I clumsily refer to the title of the song "Cannon Beach". The Essex Green are not bad, but they come off as a bit too cloying to my ears, a bit sugary, especially her voice, which also sings here - see the last sample - but over darker minor chords. Marco, I’ve been feeling your Gozzanian vibes lately!

Unfortunately, I still have to listen to the album. What’s certain is that Ondarock feels compelled, by now, to give judgments a bit ad minchiam just for the sake of tearing things down. I will get back to your review once I’ve listened to the album!

At the time, I must admit that "Come back to what you know" was one of my brit-pop must-haves (1997, if I'm not mistaken...). But the album "The good will out," in its entirety, leaves me puzzled. Too many Oasis-like elements. I preferred the more polite "Out of nothing," a caramel album. This one, I don't know, doesn't entice me.

And now begins our nineties electronic revival... :) Are you doing Captain Hollywood Project or should I? Great record.

In my opinion, it is precisely the fact that voice and sounds run on two parallel tracks that makes Machine Gun great. The voice represents humanity (aching, hypersensitive, anguished, as always embodied by Gibbons), while the bass is the cold machine gun of things. And the contrast hits hard, it cuts deep, no doubt about it.

The review is not poorly written, but I take the liberty of disagreeing with every single word of it.

The first half is enjoyable, but the second half is less so. Psycho vs. the young indie bands is always entertaining :)

Something between Beck and Modest Mouse. Full indie rock and self-proclaimed indie. Padovan herr director? I'd rather have Cassavier Jacobelli.

The meanings of the number 8 are all written inside the CD, in a space that retraces the interpretation given to 8 in various cultures (Greek, Indian, Buddhist, Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Babylonian) and in philosophical fields (mathematics, psychoanalysis). The synthesis is that 8 is the number of infinity (so much so that, flipped horizontally, it represents the symbol used in mathematics for infinity: you know this better than I do! :) and of the afterlife: therefore, it is the number that can connect the living and the dead. There is a beautiful drawing inside the disc where a man and a skeleton dance together, intertwining and forming the shape of the number eight horizontally with their arms. And then, next to it, there is a portrait of Minowa's little son. A truly abyssal album, nothing less. If you don't have the original, get it: it's a really nice object. Now I'm going to listen to it again!
