@ampere, take it easy, my disappointment isn't about your review, which is very valid, but about the degenerate I can't stand: post-rock. I only saw the band's name and misunderstood.

Damn, for a moment I thought it was the legendary Indian Summer of the English progressive hard scene who in 1971 released the excellent self-titled album, the one with the Cactus at night on the cover... what a letdown.

The problem is not sadness as such, but the sensation extracted from these "televised" showcases of Italian directors. Take Cronenberg's "Eastern Promises," it is a sad film, but it has such power that it shakes every fiber of your being. Take the latest films by Avati; if we were to praise him, it would be because he is the least bad of our current cinematography, which is terrible. Yesterday, I just watched "La ragazza del lago" at a screening near my home, and the brilliant Toni Servillo was there too. I would have liked to tell him that he is wasted on a shapeless film that once again mimics the sad cliché of a television drama to be watched in slippers. How sad. Long live Eastwood, long live Cronenberg!

Eastwood is as sad as this "The gentle side of John Coltrane" (Impulse, GPR 11072) that I put in the stereo as soon as I got home. It’s you who are sad... this is class à la Maradona, innate.

Seen as a kid and then formatted from my unconscious until it turned into streams to recover some crap of files trapped in there... You must be kidding, giving a 3 to this one and a 3 to "The Man Who Fell to Earth" by Roeg is like putting Annette Heaven and Cicciolina on the same level...

Of course, this masterpiece by John Martyn, never considered in all these years of debaser... has received two reviews in the span of a month; they were really needed to make up for the wrong done...

Well, above all, don't mention "Banditi a Milano" by Carlo Lizzani...

I wouldn't know, I'm a "blues man" and over there they play "blues" in Mali, like Ali Farka Toure who made a great album with Ry Cooder, beautiful; if you put the names in the search function you'll also find the excellent review by odradek.

Indeed, I had already replied to you, and it's not like one is at the computer 24 hours a day... anyway "Mountain Jam" lasts much longer than 20 minutes and yes, it’s more jazzy, but besides "Blue Sky," which is by Betts, there’s also that gem "Little Martha," which is still played by Duane Allman on that album. Anyway, guys, I see that here the expert is the young and valiant battlegods who, after being forged in metal, is capable of recommending psychedelia, country, progressive, and if you also ask him about Algerian rai, he will tell you the most important records from all of Maghreb, from Cheikha Remitti to Khaled!

Even my uncle, who has the tammurriata band in Somma Vesuviana, goes into a trance at the sound of the tammorra, the putipù, and the scetavajasse... I have to tell him that according to Dell'Omo, he’s a metalhead too, without even knowing it!
