I pass by after digging up this album that I had buried under heaps of other stuff months ago. If on the first timid listen it seemed rather tough, a bit too "experimental" and even slightly boring, now I can finally say I've gotten into it, that I've understood it. Dirty Beaches has not only managed to fascinate me, but has created the perfect soundtrack for our times, the soundtrack for these "dark times." Really beautiful, sixteen tracks that slowly sank into me and enchanted me. Flawless review, as usual :)

Great review! A film I haven't seen yet but now, after your analysis, I can't help but get my hands on it. I really liked Carnage, and the mention of Miller and the Velvet Underground that came up in the comments intrigues me even more.

Always write impeccably, one of the best among the "newbies" of this site. I really enjoyed Daughter this year, even though I’ll never catch them live (and living in the middle of nowhere like Heidi certainly doesn't help :D). Question, that final "Get Lucky" isn't going to be the Daft Punk cover, is it?

Well-written review (better than mine) for an album that, now that some time has passed, has slightly bored me.

One of the most beautiful things I've read about Deb lately.

Welcome to DeBaser! Nice review even though I don't know the girl very well. I think I've listened to a bit of her "Wounded Rhymes" but just a little. I'll try to explore more :)

I pass by after having cried all the tears for the applause-worthy finale. From now on, any other TV series will seem bad, flat, boring to me. Breaking Bad is perfection in the script, perfection of the actors, perfection of the soundtrack. Breaking Bad is and will always remain PERFECTION.

I know the band but, honestly, I've never listened to anything by them. A big gap, I know. Great review as usual, I think I'll get my hands on this record :)

As promised, I'm here to comment. First of all, I want to say that I am in favor of bands like Ektoise that share their music on Bandcamp for free. I believe it's the fastest and most appreciated way to get noticed in a world where there's never enough room for new things and for those who seek to experiment with music. That said, I listened to the album, and although at certain points I find it a bit messy (the long "Active Denial System" has too much going on and confused me), in the end, it's an interesting proposal filled with great ideas. Who knows, maybe in the future, these Ektoise will manage to get more recognition.

I agree with the comments above. A nice film, but the novel is definitely several notches above. As you mention in the review, Daldry has done better (and you were right to cite "The Hours" and "The Reader," which are splendid films).
