Well done Mr. Justice, you have 'done justice' with the review of this work by Kafka. An essential review, perhaps too much so, in my opinion. I read it many years ago and at the moment I don't feel ready to rate the novel, also because Kafka is particularly dear to me, for reasons that are too complex to explain in this context. The fact remains that my favorite work of his is the 'unfinished' "America," even if the conclusion for the protagonist was supposed to be... well! I think it's best not to reveal it. In "America" there are 'revealing' and 'foreshadowing' passages for many generations of writers, one name above all Thomas Disch (but there are many others, of course). An exceptionally surprising novel, I often wish to reread it but I prefer to prioritize all the other books that I haven't read yet. Recommended dish of the moment... lemon shrimp.

As a common mortal, I can write that (in my opinion) this Rec is well done. Kudos for mentioning the cover (let's not forget about it), even if it's not really my style. Among other things, it is often said that in the artistic environment (especially in theater) 'purple' brings 'bad luck'. I really hope that a possible rise of the inhabitants of Midan never occurs; we already have too many rises, I mean. The album isn't really suitable for me and my 'vintage' ears, so I don't know it and therefore won't vote. Of course, all these titles are a bit impressive, perhaps suitable for being listened to at night in the city's underground... Oh! Oh! I'm being informed from the height of the direction that the indestructible Judge has returned. Recommended dish of the moment... shrimp in cocktail sauce.

Thank you for the comments.
@I should indeed 'quote you', but at the same time I chose to avoid getting into technical and guitar-related details, as I'm not very knowledgeable about them and, above all, I didn't want to 'get bogged down' in topics that are too informative for me (see my comment on your review of Jimi).
This can also be inferred from the different profiles...
Moreover, this Rec has been 'in the drawer' for a while, even though it’s not completely finished, because I'm currently trying to complete another one on a completely different topic (only dear Eliodoro knows what I'm talking and writing about; I must add that it’s proving to be more complex than expected).
Despite this, I thought I would finish it and send it (in my free time) given the historical importance of the two musicians.
A big thanks to the Editors for the quick publication and for the beautiful editing (is it written like this?).
Best wishes & a peaceful New Year to everyone.

My little voice (like that of Magnum P.I.) was right this time.
I was really expecting a review from you that was typically 'Il_Paoliana'.
So many memories in this film, despite everything I like it, even the songs from those times... now far away (2.82).
I also remember the raudi, the magnums, but above all the saturns, those were real fireworks, if I’m not mistaken there was another type but I can't remember the name anymore (long-term memory).
You could have made a few references to the songs, but it doesn’t matter, the review is excellent with a slight touch of melancholy (4.44+Christmas bonus=5.0).
At some points, I got a little lost due to my limited technical vocabulary, but that’s okay.
Of course, if you also start writing about... dried fruit (my passion is pistachios), pandoro, and various sweets, I can't take it anymore... the donuts from Anatas weren't enough...
A slight 'quote' for what Mr. Masto.Bartle wrote could be there, but... Il_Paolo is always Il_Paolo... 'genius'.
Plates, glasses, cutlery, and plastic napkins—no, those definitely not, only in shopping malls.
For the rest, I wish you and everyone a peaceful Christmas.
Regards 'pandorati' & Christmas-y.

I've got this!
Good review (4.2).
For me, it’s also an excellent album, rich and varied, still in step with the times (4.2).
Well done for pointing out the presence of Bob Fripp, who in this collaboration manages to 'unleash' some deadly and unusual solos (let’s not forget he’s left-handed, even though he plays guitar like a right-handed).
In this album, Bob also uses guitars: pin-trumpet guitar in "Fractal Zoom," early 50's club guitar in "JuJu Space Jazz."
Also interesting is the list of 30 definitions...Where-I-Am-Music.
When two minds like Fripp and Eno come together, something extraordinary almost always happens.
Eno’s avant-garde insights, combined with Fripp's guitar genius, have made history in Rock and beyond.
The first meeting between Eno and Fripp had taken place through Wyatt, during the recording of Little Red Record (Aug-72).
John Paul Jones (piano - Distributed Being) is also featured on the album.
The cover is taken from 'Geological Cinema,' an installation by Eno from 1992.
Eno-natal greetings.

Gulp! Look who’s back, it’s Anatas with a typically Anatas-esque review.
I liked it for its charm, despite a bit too much 'flair,' but maybe it's just me getting old.
The score would be 4.44, but since it's Christmas (and they say everyone should be a little kinder) I’ll 'raise' the score to 4.54, so...5.
I don’t know about the album, I’ll think about it (periodically), anyway the cover is disturbing...
But at this hour reading about donuts has made me hungry, where can I find some now?
Hungry & festive greetings!

A guitar review was needed. Well done Acqualife, a decent rating (3.43). The album is excellent (4.24) and so is the cover, especially the ballerina. However, I personally prefer Al's robust "Splendido Hotel" (4.84), as it is much more eclectic and original. I agree with what C'è wrote (comment 1). Best regards, Jazz Fusion.

Thanks to Macaco, Zaireeka, and Eliodoro.
Your comment, Macaco, is among the most beautiful and interesting I've had the chance to read (I'll give it a beautiful).
Too bad the option for favorite comments isn't available (who knows, maybe one day someone will add it).
Zaireeka, I respond to you this way: "Infinite!" like the scientists... hehehe!
This and other books I've read by Rucker have always excited me, so I also recommend "The Computer and the Ants" and the surprising "Master of Time and Space."
Thanks also to the Editors.
With sudden emotion, I realized I was staring at Cantor, Hilbert, and Einstein. There was an empty seat at their table. I rushed over, introduced myself, and asked if I could join them.
Hilbert and Einstein were deeply immersed in an infinitely complex discussion, so they barely glanced at me. But Cantor pointed to a chair, then poured me a cup of tea.
"I've studied set theory," I told him as I sat down.
"I'm interested in the continuum problem."
Cantor nodded silently. He wore a gray suit with a white starched-collar shirt.
There was a shadow of unhappiness and torment in his eyes.
He sipped his tea, looking at me in absolute silence. "You must be really pleased to be up here with all these infinities," I said to flatter him.
"I already knew it would be like this," he finally replied. "I suppose it goes up quite a bit," I said, pointing to Mount On.
"It's just the beginning of the second number class. Beyond that stretch all the alephs. And further still is the Absolute, the Absolute Infinite where, where..." He stopped speaking to look up at the sky. (White Light - Chapter 10 - What is milk?).
Endless greetings.

I finally read it (all of it!).
This is a true Hendrixian treatise; I can 'sense' your immense passion for the Blues and beyond, and I wish I possessed it too...
In short, there are many topics and all of them interesting, even in the comments.
As for certain technical, guitarist-related & informative aspects, I throw up my hands in 'surrender' to you, DeB.
The few left-handed guitarists (but not just guitarists) have been (and are) more original and ingenious, probably because the left-handed person is positioned in a diametrically opposite way compared to others.
His way of presenting himself on stage, of 'digging' into the music and the instrument so deeply, that...
Unfortunately, there's always a flip side, because their life is, so to speak, not simple in a world structured and developed for right-handed people (some of them you mentioned, but there are others too).
The mysterious and unusual energy, almost arcane, that he possessed (often uncontrollable and even destructive, not by chance in certain situations the electrical circuit burns due to the amount of information) probably derived from a different electrical configuration of the brain.
Just think about the fact that he had to move all the guitar strings; this is just one of the many details...
What the music of Hendrix represented, what it represents, and what it will represent, at least from my point of view, is not yet completely 'unveiled'.
But this mysterious force does not come only from this; perhaps also from some inherited genetic factor; his father was an architect (thanks to his father, he got his first electric guitar).
Some might wonder, what does that have to do with it?
In my opinion, it does matter, because certain structures are somehow transmitted genetically and 'reworked' in some strange way.
All of this is fantastic to me.
Not by chance, at the beginning, Jimi sketched designs for cars that he sent to Ford (he received a certificate of merit).
Think about it; this wasn’t just a coincidence, it was a Sign that something extraordinarily and unfortunately tragically wonderful was about to happen.
There’s still so much more to say and write.
To me, your review is excellent, one of the most committed and comprehensive I have read so far; perhaps if it had been a bit 'more streamlined', it would have been exceptional (just my personal opinion!), but at the same time, I understand that you wanted to include as much information as possible to generate various comments, and you succeeded in that.
So, onward young ones, and the way is set, Mastro Blues is here.
I conclude with this phrase that Jimi, dressed in white with his right arm around his neck, said to Fripp after one of his concerts: "Shake my left hand; it’s closer to the heart."
Musical greetings & Merry Blues Christmas.

So… in my opinion, the review is well done, original, and well-structured, I give it a 4.3, even though…
The only flaw is the topic of soccer inserted, so to speak, meta-analogically in a piece about a film like this; I would have avoided it.
At that time, I liked Stowe.
I appreciated the film (rating 4.5), even though it’s not as original as Brazil, it has its own drama and with a 'closed-circle' ending that isn’t predictable.
The actors all perform well, although for Pitt it may have been his best performance.
As for 'time travel', rightly as you wrote, the subject is overused and has rarely been treated in an original way.
Of course, Back to the Future (more youthful) is great, but there are a few other films.
Right now, I can only think of I Banditi del Tempo… I wonder why (you know, long-term memory…).
In fact, I don’t remember many valuable films about time travel, but this is probably not the main focus of this film’s plot.
The part dedicated to the Asylum (it can’t be forgotten or overlooked) is textbook, and even that is more than enough to 'elevate' the entire film.
Personally, I wouldn’t put them in the same category as Matrix and Fight Club.
A monkey salute & Merry Christmas to you too.
