I practically agree with the points Carlos made, even though this time the review lacks the usual ramblings, the sequence is respected, and the syntax is much more orderly. In short, it's a significant step forward for us readers ;)
Two notes: 1. I completely disagree with the parenthetical comment, already pointed out by Carlos, regarding Eno-TH-KC. More than anything, we are out of sync since this refers to 4/5 years earlier, with different cultural premises, the lack of the "African" reference (which, as you well know, was fundamental, especially for Eno and Byrne), and in general, perhaps the only connection could be Eno’s work with Harmonia, which you didn’t mention. Related to point 1, point number 2 concerns the absence of the main influence – since you wanted to shape your review around influences and in the end you talked relatively little about the songs. That is: the greatest influence for Gottsching is minimalism, which you didn’t even mention (except for a fleeting adjective). Minimalism: in this sense, Eno and Fripp fit in, with their instrumental works between '73 and '75 (not Byrne, who at that time was still busy deciding whether to be a folk singer or the latest glam clone of Bowie). So if we want to name two, Steve Reich and LaMonte Young. The former gave a tremendous push to the renewal of rock during those years (let’s not forget he performed with an actual group, Steve Reich and Musicians). Repetition as a form of change? We have it here up to E2E4. Use of patterns? There they are. Tape loops? I'd say yes. Uniformity of timbre (another innovation compared to American rock)? We have that too, a sound based almost exclusively on the guitar. So the bulk of Gottsching comes from here. Lastly, New Age of Earth deserves a listen in my opinion, because the coordinates are more or less the same. It got caught up with the new age culture from post-hippies, but the music isn’t bad.

It’s quite strange that no one in 10 years has written that Ian MacDonald was actually Ian Matthews, not just anyone. Anyway, Matthews will be the lead singer in the subsequent What We Did, and he will leave for a fortunate (and artistically very remarkable) solo career.

very good

I can't give a vote, anyway I reiterate the faiv.

So, let's start with the fact that I've wanted to write this review for about a year now, that today I opened Facebook and found it on my timeline, which means I'm an idiot. That said, I haven't read it yet, but it’s definitely a 5 just for the fact that it's about this album. For me, it's probably the best in the family's discography, but maybe we can talk about that another time.

Come on, cutie, the review... the album, who knows if I'll listen to it.

great sales review, great program and always the awesome Marcorè

but goddammit

Can we say that Out of the Grey is at least – but at least, okay – on the podium of my top three DS songs? Can we say yes? Screw the critics too.

The usual masterful review. Who knows what happened to @[Symbad_Bassist]? We could really use him in this debasement.
