If I didn't have to work, the game would also be fun, aside from the fact that I questioned the careers of the low, not their peaks, as they have produced a couple of good ones and a couple of almost great ones. Quickly, the first four that come to mind: Stereolab, from Peng to Emperor; all four GYBE; four random Fugazi; "Angels and demons," "Timothy," "Demon box," "Blissard" by Motor; "Ok Computer," "Kid A," "Amnesiac," "In Rainbows" by Radio. Besides these, they have a better discography, in my opinion, let’s be clear, here too the first that come to mind, Polly, Nicolino, Sonic, Yo la Tengo, Autechre, Björk, Tom Waits, the Massive, Blur, Kyuss (Qotsa, and maybe even the Rem.

Bah, I think I was at the same parties as Imasoulman... I also danced like a fool as soon as their tracks kicked in. But this is truly one of the most fun records from those years, and it doesn't get a 5 just because the funnest record is called "Roman gods."

Well come on Ole, saying they have the best discography of the last twenty years is a bit of an exaggeration. They pretty much play the same two or three songs across ten albums... Codeine became a legend because they only made two albums. This is saved by the wizard, who would have pulled out wonderful sounds even from that crap of my band. With the writing being the usual, I’m entranced by the sound of the cymbals in "Medicine Magazines", for instance.

I will try, even though the Lanois production already makes me a bit uneasy, as he’s not capable of producing guitars. It would be interesting if he tried with Albini before kicking the bucket. If Don passes by: @Don, shake off the stupor and bring out the archives, because we need to talk about them a lot. Are you as disappointed as I am?

Beautiful page...it almost looks like an old page from DeB...Buah! In fact, "Dragonaut" swings between the sublime and the tedious.

Sometimes they return... always a pleasure to read you... oh, I haven't listened to it yet,, after all, you haven't written to me yet:-). Kisses! P.S.: If you come to Rome, give me a shout and I’ll come down and we can go together!

:-) Hi Appe, your wisdom is always welcome!

"26 years after its registration"

Ugh, there’s starts to be too much on the table. Let me explain: the general discussion about live performances was concerning the classic and official discography. For instance: Neil Young's live at Fillmore East is wonderful, but it was released 26 years after its recording. If I want to upset someone, "The Song Remains the Same" doesn't impress me much and is overshadowed by some bootlegs from '69, when Led Zeppelin were one of the best bands in history, just as the bootleg series surpass all of Dylan’s official live albums. So for sure, some posthumous live recordings of Hendrix will be phenomenal; I just haven't had the fortune to listen to them all. As for the adjective “incoherent” regarding Band of Gypsys, feel free to berate me, it’s a significant mistake; the idea there is that I would have preferred a Hendrix live from '67 or '68. I still believe I can live comfortably without it, which is a bit harder with the three studio albums. To Pinkoller, I stipulate that for me, post-rock is Louisville and its surroundings, but there has been too much discussion about post-rock on these pages, I reiterate the concept: loving a band doesn’t mean overselling them, because you can’t command matters of the heart. As Geb says, in any case, "Young Team" is considered a classic of the '90s not just by fans but also by critics. If you're interested in my more "objective" discussions on Mogwai, I refer you to my review of "The Hawk is Howling," where I highlight both their positive and negative sides.

A kiss to the two beloved ladies of the Indian reserve, those of "Stica. Sure," whose laconicism convinces me to invite you to review again; it's not just me who adores you! Just a warm (and hairy) greeting to Psycho... sometimes they come back, one might say. @Pinkholler: a random Hendrix? Precisely, no. I much prefer the BBC Sessions. "Band of Gypsys," I'm not fond of the setlist; it's a bit disjointed compared to the gems he wrote. "Isle of Wight" has always been considered one of Jimi's worst performances (I'm sticking with the 1971 edition; I haven't listened to the recently released expanded version). I really like his performance at Woodstock, even that one heavily criticized, mostly for the atmosphere, the dawn, the solitude, but I don't think it's ever been released on record; I have the DVD. P.S. Mogwai are not overrated; they are very much loved by quite a few people, which seems like a different thing.
