Instead, try to keep reading, and perhaps you'll understand what I mean and what several million people interested in music know well: that by the mid-seventies, Rock (the quintessential one, the sonic emblem of a cultural revolution) no longer existed. There were many other things, and many were emerging (some truly valuable), but that Rock had come to an end. It's a historical and socio-cultural discourse, not a matter of taste or preference. Watch "Almost Famous" by C. Crowe; it partly talks about the beginning of the decline of that era.

Lucio Battisti Anima latina

Let's suppose it's a young kid filled with good intentions, who knows nothing but is eager to start laying the first bricks of his "musical culture." And as a young kid, I read this review, knowing almost nothing about that period and about Battisti in general... a date? a reference? A before/after? Sorry, I'm pointing this out to you, but I could do it with many other reviewers as well...

Stanley Kubrick Il Dottor Stranamore. Ovvero come imparai a non preoccuparmi e ad amare la bomba

Regarding the repetition of scenes, it's true that Kubrick would do it to exhaustion, often bringing the actor to the brink of frustration (which was often intentional). However, there is an exception (perhaps the only one) in the case of P. Sellers in Dr. Strangelove. Kubrick quickly realized that the actor lost his spontaneity by the second take, which is why many of the scenes you see in the film are "good on the first try." Even Sellers himself (and in this, he was immense) did not hesitate to make true improvisations to the script based on his comic instinct. It is said that during the production, Kubrick often had to stuff a handkerchief in his mouth to stifle his laughter (so as not to disturb the live audio) caused by the gags of the British actor... different times...

I'm really sorry, but your language is quite hard for me to digest. After 4 or 5 lines, my brain refused to continue and sneaked away to catch some fresh air elsewhere... please don’t hold it against me... it just seems to me that we’re already surrounded by enough chaos without the need to add more, let’s say for free.

Astor Piazzolla Adios Nonino

The review demonstrates a genuine emotional involvement from the writer, which is admirable; however, I would have appreciated a few more words about Piazzolla and the particularities of his style, especially to encourage those who are not yet familiar with him... My rating goes, in addition to the piece in question, to all of his works...

Great review! Finally written in Italian, historically contextualized, maybe just a little too summary and rushed regarding the album analysis... but there could be more! I won't rate the album because I only heard it years ago and briefly, but I will make sure to remedy that...

In "Because," there was never any guitar; the instrument in question was a spinet (if only I had one today!!!). The album is only for fans and alternates between truly interesting moments (while my guitar, because) and others that feel really "forced," where the "collage" gimmick shows its seams too clearly (Octopus/Good night is a real mess...). I also don’t understand why some tracks have remained virtually unchanged, given that the only point of interest in the album lies in the very transformation of the songs themselves.
