Robert Fripp & The League Of Crafty Guitarists Live @ Palamostre (Udine) - Udin&Jazz 2006
Voto:
The review is partially valid, but partially not! Uncle Fripp? Enough with Uncle Sam... It wasn’t the second lineup, but the third. First lineup '68-'72, second lineup '73-'74, third lineup '81-'84, and then the others... The tuning wasn’t 'invented' by Fripp; it presented itself 'on its own' while he was in a sauna in New York (his own words... the statement has a deeper and more complex meaning to explain). It was Eno in '72 who showed Fripp the recording system of the two Revox tape recorders, which Bob then used and modified. Eno's insight was to find a connection between Rock repetition and avant-garde repetition (Reich, Glass, Riley) and to 'synthesize' it. The Rock element is Fripp's guitar, engaged in long solos or 'looped'. Over time, the Frippertronics have 'evolved' through electronics into Soundscapes. By '93, the two units of the Danish TC 2290 processor (64'' of delay) were already present, while the two Revox only offered 5''. The piece "Moonchild" was composed before the meeting of the two, even though Fripp had been searching for a certain type of sound for years. The Ovation (Shallowbody Cutaway No. 1867) are neither strictly acoustic nor electric guitars. The LOCG was Fripp's most fascinating idea throughout his musical adventure. The LOCG is more than an artistic-musical collaboration, and the musicians are, in a certain sense, simultaneously 'merged together' into a single guitarist. Probably music could have its own 'domain' outside the physical world, and the musician (or musicians) are the conduit through which the music can be expressed (this concept could apply to all other creative and scientific disciplines). Udine, how many memories... Awaiting the new KC album, a guitaristic goodbye ©.

@Sid, the answer is correct, so you've won a DeB Point that you can use in your next Rec. Just enter the word DeB Point to receive a pleasant surprise. A few more lines from ST IV before we wrap up. Scotty: "Uh! Admiral, I've replaced the Klingon food rations; they were giving me heartburn." Kirk: "Ah! That's what it was...". The clash between McCoy and the doctor who was supposed to operate on Chekov is memorable. Doctor: "What did you graduate in, dentistry?" McCoy: "How do you explain the slow pulse and bradypnea?" Doctor: "The fundoscopic exam...". McCoy: "The fundoscopic exam is completely irrelevant in these cases!". Doctor: "A simple drainage of the expanding epidural hematoma will reduce the pressure." McCoy: "My God, what are you saying? Making holes in this man's head, sir, could cause something irreparable. Put down those butcher knives and let me handle it, before it's too late!". A 'Trek' greeting while we await the new Star Trek XI movie, hoping it can move us as it did in the old days ©.

Well done, Ktulu! (let's begin the time of Warp calculation).
ST IV: The Voyage Home, I always remember it with great pleasure (and with some regrets, unfortunately).
The scores for the review and the Film would both be 4.45™, but given my passion, I rate both a 5.0™.
The Film was dedicated by the cast and crew of ST to the men and women for the tragedy of the Challenger, whose brave spirit will live on into the 23rd century and beyond...
The ecological message is important, hardly found in other Films; for now, the two small masterpieces that come to mind are "2001: A Space Odyssey" and in certain parts "Phase IV: Destroy All They."
As you rightly pointed out, the Film has a nice humorous touch, and that’s why I think it stands out, regardless of its box office results.
The soundtrack is excellent.
Kirk (referring to the Klingon ship): "As a ship, it may not be much, but it has an exceptional cloaking device."
McCoy: "Then let’s hope it can cloak the stench."
Spock at the beginning of the Film goes to the computer to answer the barrage of questions, one of which is: "What is the first law of metaphysics of Kiri-Kin-Tha's?" Spock responds: "The unreal does not exist."
After the time travel, when Kirk almost gets hit by the taxi, the taxi driver says: "Why don't you watch where you're going, you piece of idiot?" Kirk replies: "And you’re two pieces of idiot."
I used to remember many of the lines, but over the years, unfortunately, a few neurons have irreparably sublimated...
What computer does Scotty use to create the formula for transparent aluminum? (whoever guesses will win a mysterious DeB Point; for more information, call the toll-free number 800800800800).
The effects were also remarkable for that time, especially because they were partially 'artisan,' like the ship models all made by hand and not like the recent series poorly made with computers (personal tastes).
The amusing Rock Antologya refers to the alien creature "Bat-size, amoeba-like" from the last episode "Operation: Annihilate!" from the first season, stardate: 3287.2.
PS: "this is my 999 comment...to whoever cares...hehe!".

John W. Dawson jr Dilemmi Logici: La vita e l'opera di Kurt Gödel

Thanks to Stoney, Blackbeard (I placed a bëlo on your subatomic comment), and to Nikman.
@Nikman, the book at certain points (which are not few) is dense with formulas that 'intersect' with the biography and would require an advanced mathematical knowledge. The author Dawson immediately highlights these aspects at the beginning.
However, at the same time, the story of Gödel's life is quite interesting, with many curiosities and anecdotes. Additionally, it is important for the historical period and for the presence of other mathematicians and scientists (there are many) that Gödel encountered throughout his life.
This is why I read the book, even though its cost is not insignificant. It is probably available for reading in some library.
So primarily, it is a biography that also contains a lot of mathematics (beyond my knowledge).
It's somewhat the same discussion regarding records. It doesn't mean that when you listen to a record, you necessarily have to understand all the inner meaning that the musician wants to convey.
For this reason, I preferred not to rate the book, but its value is indisputable.

Incredible!
I thought it wouldn't be published and instead... thank you Editors (as always).
I know what you’re thinking, and now, re-reading it myself, I understand that it’s excessive, but…
It wasn't easy; many topics I didn't include were of extreme value (it was tough not to include them), and at the same time, doing a 'normal review' wouldn't have served much, or at least I believe so.
When I was writing it, I wanted to give up, but then I decided to continue, maybe because many of the concepts expressed by Gödel were of extreme importance to me, or perhaps because the desire and the strength to 'achieve' is more important than not 'achieving' something, or who knows?
On many of the arguments expressed by Gödel, I agree.
He was a great mathematical genius, and many of his mental elaborations and concepts are of immense importance; perhaps they will be positively and constructively utilized in the future of humanity.
Thanks to Il Giustiziere (I also really liked Mad Max, especially the second one), to RottenCore for the encouragement 5, and to Il Siciliano.
A heartfelt thank you to Rucker, Hofstadter, Minsky, and Horgan; probably if I hadn't read their books, this 'review' (for better or worse) would have never existed.
Best regards to everyone and good continuation. Adder.

A typically baroque and complicated review.
I had just installed a special text decryption tool on my Analytical Engine, but mysteriously, after analyzing this review, it went into a 'crash'.
Fortunately, the Analytical Engine suffered no damage.
Anyway, despite everything, I was struck by a certain 'terminological majesty', so well done nonetheless Supervai1986.
The group seems interesting to me (I 'went' to their space).
Without doubts or uncertainties, I placed two bëli on comments 1 & 2 of Hell for their charm.

Long life and prosperity to everyone.
Chekov: "So it's over, it seems."
Uhura: "Captain, I just received an order from command. We need to return to base immediately, they're changing the crew."
Spock: "If I were human, I think my response right now would be, go to hell... if I were human."
Chekov: "What course, Captain?"
McCoy: "..."
Kirk: "Second star to the right, then straight on till morning."
This comment is dedicated to my friend 'cool head' Davide. Somewhere we'll meet again, and if not... to hell.

Thank you for the nice comments.
A special thanks to Jake (Jazz) Chambers and the Editors.
Since Jargon-Prog gave it 5, I’ll rate it that way too (just this once).
Goodbye to everyone (similar and not) ©.

Without a doubt, Jake's class as a reviewer is unmatched. Unfortunately, I don't own this record; in this case, I will definitely have to take care of that. Considering that a 4 from you equals a 5 from me, listening to it is a must. The review is excellent (5.1™). Congratulations! Everyone here at home has said that you write superbly and incisively; as for the rest, I wouldn't know what else to add about this guitaristic & pianistic writing. Ah! The cover seems to be in 'motion blur' style. Best regards and a maritime farewell©.

I was waiting for you, Terry!
Welcome to the Interior.
The Rec is friendly & lively (as always).
The book also seems quite interesting regarding the topics covered.
While I’m at it, I recommend two excellent books: "Extreme Experiences" (329 pages) by C. Priest on virtual realities, featuring a woman, Teresa Simons, an FBI agent.
Priest is also the author of "eXistenZ".
The other one is "The Awakening of Herod" (570 pages) by G. Bear, a thriller about the evolution of the human race.
It’s long, but worth the read.
Here too, among the protagonists, there’s a woman, Kaye Lang, a biologist.
See you InT(erry)ori ©.
