I would like to inform Mr. G that I have just 'posted' a review of the book "Anni senza Fine" by Clifford D Simak. It's just an experiment, but who knows... congratulations on your new and (G)enius proposal, I agree with Giona, so there it is.
Best regards.

......ok! Now I understand, it took me a while but now everything is clear to me, crystal clear.
Final greetings from Adder (take it or leave it, isn't it?).

For heaven's sake, I am not a 'learned' reviewer but merely a 'humble' reviewer, nothing more and nothing less. Regarding music, I have had (and still have) dealings with a dear person (I can't add anything more because it ventures into private territory). When I was young, I studied piano for a few years but then, for various reasons, I had to stop.
Now my activity is still in the artistic field (it's been a while, not too long though, hehehe!), as you can see on my profile; I wouldn't want to add anything else, also because it has been a 'grueling' day for me. I'm very glad that I managed to make you 'escape' a smile (I commend you because you are a tough nut to crack in the good sense of the term). Perhaps the story of the glass being half full and half empty is true (as a meta-analogy); our experiences might have been different, and therefore our 'way' of seeing things is different... perhaps...

Free to express his opinion Mr. Antonio, I would sincerely like to believe that it is so, a beautiful world without suffering, but unfortunately... apparently we have almost completely opposite views regarding your thoughts. Perhaps one day I will be of the same opinion, but for now, based on my experiences, it is not so.
Hopeful regards.

Further suspicions? I hope you are not the usual 'pontificator'. Defended from what? A comment? Perhaps you are the one who defended yourself, or am I mistaken? In my opinion (who knows why this is always forgotten, eh!) and also from personal experience, dear Mr. Antoniodeste, unfortunately, true Artists suffer; believe me, because I have known some through my work. This makes me think (or suppose) that you do not know the character Fripp very well... it is impossible to achieve an aim without suffering—doesn't that ring a bell? Thank you for the interesting 'discussion'. Best regards.

@Kosmogabri, exactly the 'design' of the cover and the logo of the Discipline Global Mobile were conceived and created by Steve Ball, who is present as a guitarist in this Live along with: Tobin Buttram, Guido Ernst, Nigel Gavin, Curt Golden, Bert Lams, Hideyo Moriya, David Pittaway, Paul Richards.
To Mr. Antoniodeste, I absolutely do not have an air of superiority and even less do I want to prove that I possess deep (because I don't) knowledge of the 'subject,' as that would only be a demonstration of 'strength,' especially in this context.
Furthermore, a music lover does not necessarily have to demonstrate that they 'possess' a musical culture; in some cases, it could even be a kind of 'invisible glue,' as Fripp defines it, between the listener (active listening) and the musician, but perhaps it could also be something deeper (and personal) that is difficult to explain in words.
Regarding the psycho/emotional nature of Fripp, but also of other creatives, I believe it is known that Artists (the real ones) are people who have suffered; otherwise, they would not have been able to create certain works (I wouldn’t even want to delve into psychological issues, but the motivation at the brain level is quite familiar to me, not because I possess 'infused' science, but because a good friend of mine explained it to me).
Creativity requires a significant expenditure of energy, and sometimes there can be 'collapses' even if, in reality, it is personal dramas that 'trigger' them.
Every once in a while, I also like to include some fun 'joke' or some 'extra musical' advice in my comments; in my opinion, I don’t believe it bothers anyone (the reason might be found in some of my old comments).
Thank you nonetheless for your quite stimulating intervention, because if it is truly constructive and not simply evaluative, it is much appreciated.
The riddles will be revealed before the review 'disappears' from the Home Page.
Thanks to everyone, including Hell and Templare.
Guitarist regards (brv).

Thank you Editors (also from Robby the robot) for the corrections and for editing it so well. Wishing you all a great ongoing publication.

Sorry Editors: "can you correct in the second part of the review Fripp with a capital F on the fifth line and on the eighth line instead of with the right, like a right-handed person? Thank you from Adder.

So..."got it, got it, got it..." oh! capers!, I'm missing it, I have "461...", "There's one..." and "Backless" by Clapton, all very pleasant but not masterpieces (in my opinion).
Let's not forget that Clapton, along with many other guitarists, owes part of his guitar style, but not only, to the great J J Cale (I have almost all his records) who possesses an elegance and sobriety that are hard to replicate, so I highly recommend them, especially those from the '70s.
Well done Terry for reviewing this album with charm, review score 4.44 (AE).
Now I have to go because there’s a meeting in the logistics room of C57D.
Guitarist regards (brv).
Camel Rain Dances

Hey, it’s been a while since we last spoke, Hetzer (with the final r). I missed a comment in your review about the Camel, but I also take this opportunity to mention that, as you may already know, there are images of CameLatimer on the Camel website, and apparently he’s doing better and has returned home.
The review is quite valid, but as usual (in my opinion) it's too long (de gustibus) and because it leaves nothing to chance (as Giona writes) it takes away a bit of the pleasure of listening. I’d rate the review 3.5 (AE).
Although frankly, I’m getting tired of these ratings, but unfortunately, it seems there’s no escaping evaluations anywhere, not just here; it’s always the same old legacy of s(q)ools.
The Camel, as always (or almost), have produced an excellent and varied product, and in this case, as you rightly write, it has some beautiful Jazz undertones.
"First Light" is a small masterpiece, but so is "Elke" and "Skylines," and all the sung tracks except "Highways," which is perhaps my least favorite.
Memorable is the closing with Ward's drumming in "Unevensong."
Ward is always great, with elegant yet quick and decisive drumming; Latimer’s guitar, well, we know it very well, don’t we?
You were right to mention the presence of the almost 'gENiO' Eno.
In short, it’s a really nice album, full of that characteristic 'melancholy' of the Camel, rating 4.3 (AE).
As you rightly wrote, and as our dear EditorS have highlighted in bold, certain music doesn’t die and will never die.
Strangely, I don’t see mj(c)64...
Now I have to say goodbye because a powerful sandstorm is approaching here; let’s hope it doesn’t cause any damage.
Latimerian greetings (brv).
