supersoul

...always without that damned space between youtube and the period

I agree on the last psycho album, but don't tell me that you don't melt into a puddle of joy at the sliding nuances of Calling Lighting, a thousand times better than the gaudy stuff from the praised and celebrated '70s revival album by Black Mountain :)))

Well, I reviewed the two albums by Howlin Rain, and the first one didn't strike me as particularly country, as the interviewer says here, but rather something extraordinary suspended between USA rock like Allman - Dead - Creedence and the English sound of the early '70s like Faces/Humble Pie. With Ethan's voice scratching the tracks of the early great Rod Stewart. The second one is more commercial, heading towards a sort of crossover confirmed by the interview that mentions Miles Davis and the female groups from Blaxploitation... Who knows what a slick operator like Rick Rubin will come up with for someone like Miller, who really stopped in 1973.

@turkish, that's what I knew too, which is why in the previous posts I called Leuchter a sellout. These are people who would do anything for a handful of money or fame, like that Igor Marini (he was even arrested for money laundering) who years ago prepared a dossier on Romano Prodi as a KGB spy with the codename "Mortadella." They are adventurers who serve to attract gullible people ready with Burzum's spiked bat to pose as countercultural heroes distinguished from the sheep-like masses. There's an interview with Leuchter where the interviewer offers him an autobiography and he immediately replies, "Really? Why don’t you find someone to make me an offer?" :D

the banality of evil, dear gray velvet, is not only found in extreme situations but also "in its apparently more indifferent, everyday and, therefore, 'banal' form, yet not for that reason less dangerous," that can be wishing death amid a thousand sufferings of another PERSON! You are good at filling your mouth with the big words of reviews, a little less at applying the conclusions you draw to the reality of everyday life.

but this is not about expressing differing ideas; what do statements like this have to do with differing ideas: "smoker, your journey will end on a hospital bed covered in blood... it will be a more painful end..." or this one "smoker, do you want to keep company with icnarf, with lung cancer? be my guest... I will have a lot of fun watching you spit blood on that hospital bed" or this other gem "icnarF, do you have cancer? you're bald..." I willingly leave the sweet indifference for these things to you, velvetgray; I, having seen firsthand some people spit blood from their lungs, cannot remain indifferent with a shrug when some jerk like katarris enjoys mocking others in this way. Is this a somewhat sectarian argument? Give me a break, these are people who do not deserve to be discussed, not even in real life, where they would rightly be kicked in the ass and spat on typical of the fascist attitude to which katarris now even refers to others, but not even on a website that, mind you, deals with MUSIC. Sectarian arguments? Give me a break...

but I wasn't questioning your choice, which was commendable; I was adding a name that hasn't been mentioned (perhaps because it's USA?) to those already mentioned by you and vortex.

Two only albums? As far as I remember, they've made many more and nothing extraordinary; the best in this sense, in my opinion, was done by James Chance/Siegfried/White. Recently, Milton released a good solo album.

In my opinion, we should be a bit cautious with the term "precursor" (someone even labeled the Krisma that way...). Gary Numan had a fair dose of madness that sometimes bordered on the ridiculous, with that mannequin-like pose, powdered like a sulking dandy, trying to mimic the androids of Kraftwerk but with a voice that revealed the glam rock influence between Bolan and Roxy Music, as the reviewer rightly points out, especially evident in the first Tubeway Army album, caught between rock and electronics. Numan was so elevated that he wanted to travel around the world on a private plane and was even arrested in India on charges of espionage.
