sure don...long live Cadel who has the not-so-rock'n'roll appearance of being too much of a good guy but the merit of having also been a great biker

...you’re right...it’s me who needs to pay more attention to the comments :-) in the meantime, I’m flipping through the Hindu Love Gods CD (1990 to be precise @boredom) no reference to the Australian losers :-( in the meantime, I'm enjoying a great rendition of "Raspberry Beret" by Prince, which doesn't quite fit with the rest of the covers (Robert Johnson, Willie Dixon, and a superb "Vigilante Man" by Woody) but it's amazing with Buck's jingle jangle and Zevon's unique voice.

Thanks ol' friends! To popoloitaliano, I want to say that I find it strange that Wikipedia indicates their first 45 as a cover of the Easybeats; their first single was this and it's all their own. Besides, I believe that in the rest of the world, another dozen bands have called themselves Lipstick Killers in honor of the serial killer who, in the mid-forties, left messages written with lipstick at the crime scene... and there's even a collection of demos from around 1972 by the New York Dolls titled that way. Not to mention all the glam bands from the LA area that mimic the NYD are referred to by that name. The record is truly a must-listen for all lovers of the genre.

I got a bit confused with the Rustici brothers :-)

Anyway, the standout feature is Danilo's guitar, which I would say is more fusion than prog; it’s particularly evident in the title track.

strongly indebted to the Osanna (and in certain fiatistic points quite to the King Crimson of brother McDonald) but still it’s a great album. Naples at that time was the capital of Italian rock/prog music. We know the career that Corrado Rustici had as a producer, but I would like to speak up for that album they made in England, setting off without a dime in search of fortune, he and Elio D'Anna under the name UNO. If one then thinks that poor Di Franco achieved success composing and singing Kalimba de Luna together with Toni Esposito..........

There's a psycho just a couple of steps away from me who is selling it on eBay, starting bid 25 euros :-)

The first side of this double vinyl is formidable with a great version of "Voodoo Idol" by the Cramps done by Chris D's Divine Horsemen that surpasses the original (...soul of Lux forgive me), that exceptional Chilton, and especially the jam of "Who do you love?" by Giant Sand featuring Rainer Ptacek on slide and Falling James from the underrated Leaving Trains on guitar. But I would like to draw your attention to the first track on the last side of this collection: the Ramones-style interpretation of "Me and my uncle" by John Phillips (former Mamas and Papas) performed by Chris Bailey, the great voice of the Saints. The scandalous thing is that there isn't a single track by Gun Club.

No, this is not the end but just the beginning; from there, the sex, the gore, the porn, and the splatter start with references to zombies, don’t open that door, deep throat multiplied a hundredfold. Something that STILL amazes TODAY, a Tex Avery on acid, but the ugly kind.

For me, more than Neu!, Loop owe a debt to Can for the obsessive rhythm of Wills/McKay, who will reaffirm their love for Czukay/Liebezeit in their subsequent project Hair & Skin Trading Company. After all, just listen to the long and hallucinatory version of Mother Sky that they do on this unmissable EP. There’s also "Black Sun," which is the first track from their 1988 album "Fade Out," highly recommended to understand these out-of-tune guys’ love for the Velvet Underground and the Stooges.
