Emerson, Lake & Palmer Brain Salad Surgery
Voto:
Well done Hetzer, nice review.
I notice that time has streamlined his writings, improving them.
As for the group, it has never excited me, I don’t know, yet they are all excellent musicians.
I listened to Trilogy, To The Power of Three, and another one I can’t remember, but it just didn’t click.
Among the keyboardists, I prefer Mark Kelly, David Paich, Tony Kaye, Geoff Downes.
Are there still detractors of Toto and Asia?
Emerson, but also Wakeman, for me tended to overdo it with other musicians.
Great cover, of course it’s Giger.
Progressive greetings.

A zapp, just like that, a spelling mistake and so a little star, two mistakes, two little stars, and off we go. More than fair also regarding Buchanan.

Modification to the review: "Ah! Such a lovely idea, in fact, even more than that. A thank you to sfascia carrozze. I have aged, but the site has rejuvenated." See the old version 88 Elmira St. - Danny Gatton - recensione Versione 1

A greeting to sfascia...11 years...what a long time.
2031...no, that would be really too much, plus a surprise is in the works...
A greeting also to zaireeka, the periodic votes have faded over time.
I also noticed that in this short span of time, I made a mistake in the review: "arranfiamenti"...what could that possibly be?
Robert J. Sawyer Far-Seer

Acc! I haven't read this.
However, I did read the Neanderthal Parallax trilogy, which is quite successful and includes interesting notes on anthropological, paleontological, and quantum research.
Also, Starplex and Apocalypse on Argo are two great novels, while I wasn't thrilled by Psico Attentato.
Regarding the WWW cycle, I read the first two, not bad.
As far as I'm concerned, his masterpiece is Mindscan, original and with an elegant, flowing writing style.
He is an excellent science fiction writer.
Good review. Quantum regards.
Carlo Verdone Compagni Di Scuola
Voto:
Well done! Nice review, effective and emotional.
For me, it's also one of the best films by Verdone, who is, by the way, a big music lover.
There are many others I like, but my favorite remains Al lupo al lupo, apart from the title...
I remember the first time I saw it, I was stunned to see that the dad was the actor who played Prof. Bergman in Spazio 1999... and it stayed with me forever, especially for the evocative and surreal ending.
Colorful greetings.
Robert Sheckley The Alchemical Marriage of Alistair Crompton
Voto:
A decent novel, as I remember it. In my opinion, Sheckley shows his qualities especially in the short stories. I might suggest: Mai toccato da mani umane, Il difficile ritorno del Sig. Carmody, Gli orrori di Omega, Giardiniere di uomini. As always, Thole is inimitable. A very nice review, perhaps slightly long, 4.5, but closer to 5; too bad there aren't 0.5 steps. From what I've seen, the reviewer deserves the title of Mastro Uraniano. Sci-fi greetings.
Philip K. Dick Labirinto di Morte
Voto:
As I remember it, it's a good book, but there are others that I find better. Written in '68, published in '70, following another exceptional novel, not Ubik, according to Sutin in Divine Invasions. The edition I own is the SFBC one from '74, vol. 46, hardcover with thread! In the author’s preface, the book is based on the arbitrary postulate that God exists, along with other interesting notes on LSD, I Ching, theological thoughts, and subjective views. Almost a good review, I rate the work 3.85. Labyrinthine greetings.
Andrew Niccol Gattaca
Voto:
Synchronicity...great film, very elegant and original. Strong performances from all the cast, especially Uma...The music is very subtle and non-intrusive, fitting well with the plot and the events of the story. Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine, Thymine, the 4 bases of DNA, is that truly everything we are? Good review. Genetic regards.
Vernor Vinge Alla fine dell'Arcobaleno
Voto:
As I remember it, memories fade over time; it's a good novel, with some parts more successful than others. However, for my part, I recommend the reading to fans of this literary genre. Rating 3.85, with a reliability of 75%. Interstellar regards.
