@chaos...but of course, it’s clear that this is an album you deeply love on a personal level. In fact, you mention a "minor" piece like "Corner Soul," which is a bit of a small bowl among giants like "Lightning Strikes," "Ivan Meets G.I. Joe," "Somebody Got Murdered," "The Call Up," "Lose This Skin," and "Charlie Don't Surf."

I would say that Lewis owes more to his crazy compatriot Roky Erikson than to Barret Mayo, bending his crazy idea of psychedelia to folk. Horses is beautiful.

I stand corrected, I checked... Mayo Thompson has already been reviewed, and who else could it be if not Lewis Tollani? :))))

these are the reviews that make the eyes sparkle (...also dampening them. Dino is also the author of "Let's get together" on the first Jefferson Airplane album of his friend Skip Spence. This is a mythical record like Skip's, although with his 12-string it leans a bit more towards less hallucinatory atmospheres compared to "Oar." In my review of Skip Spence, I ended like this: "...the city of legendary ghosts who made one but mythical record. The ghosts of Dino Valenti, Mayo Thompson, Bruce Palmer." Now only Mayo remains.

I'm sorry, but I extend Kosmo's "no," considering it a rather useless review. Regarding the album, I don't understand how one can expect a triple album to be perfect; there are at least fifteen tracks here that, if they had been released on a single album, would have been considered one of the best of all time. @Jurix, for the sake of truth, I must say that Mikey Dread was never a keyboardist; perhaps you're confusing him with Mickey Gallagher. And "Junco Partner" is not a track by the 101'ers but a traditional USA song very popular in New Orleans, reinterpreted by artists like Dr. John or the legendary Professor Longhair.

Well... Frantz, I wouldn’t exaggerate the situation as you did with comment 40 by even bringing terrorism into it. The birth of punk in England has little to do with social tensions and a lot to do with Malcolm McLaren's pocket, who had a boutique called Sex and during his trips to NY saw Richard Lloyd with hair sticking up and torn t-shirts saying Kill Me. Once back in London, he formed a group from the regulars to promote the boutique, calling them (what a coincidence) the Sex Pistols. That’s why British punk was born... fashion issues.

Anyway, the opening long take in the venue is amazing, great director Cronenberg. And I also thought the work of the director of photography was fantastic with those night scenes.

referring back to comment 29, it doesn’t seem to me that he said that in the eighties the commercial and fleeting music trends were represented by heavy metal...

I instead noticed a rather simplistic characterization of the characters for a master like Cronenberg, almost comic-book-like, (and indeed, as Bartle says, it's based on a comic by the author of the famous Judge Dredd)... the villain with the scar (Ed Harris), the other crazy braggart (W. Hurt) against the beautiful American family. After all, Cronenberg is starting from a project that isn't his own, a comic, and he's adapting to those rules. He still produces a result that is disturbing, but in my opinion, it's far from the level of his masterpiece films (Videodrome or Dead Ringers). It reminded me of a less convoluted Lynch.

I wholeheartedly agree with the first comment. Tornatore is a highly skilled director and he is eager to showcase that, thinking he’s the Fellini of "Amarcord" or the Sergio Leone of "Once Upon a Time in America", but those filmmakers were able to tell stories with a rhythm and clarity of purpose that Tornatore scatters in so much beautiful choreography that is essentially self-serving. Ps: @telespalla ...does "Si può fare" have an original story? I wonder why halfway through the film I exclaimed: we're just missing the Great Chief Bromden...
