Wuthering Heights The Shadow Cabinet

Before departing on the spaceship C-57-D for deep space, I decided to 'drop by' this review to send some Anatastasici wishes to Anatas (oh, come on).
Everything is almost ready now; the materials have been loaded, the vacuum filters have been replaced, and I personally checked and polished the warp engines. The crew is almost complete, but we're still missing the onboard Chef (we can’t leave without that!).
A quick clean of the windshield and then off into the vastness of space.
Space greetings (brv).

In my opinion, this is the most beautiful review among all the visible ones, of just the right length and possessing its own depth.
Even though simple and essential, the cover is beautiful with excellent almost monochromatic shades; if my vision and my A.I. photochromic lenses are not mistaken, the matched colors are combinations of burnt umber, raw umber, green umber, and cool gray.
The album seems interesting; I will try to listen to something.
Best wishes from me as well, ah!, blessed youth.
Soon the spaceship C-57-D will have finished refueling with fuel and proteins and will finally be able to set off towards a new solar system; who knows who and what I will encounter.
The universe is not only stranger than we imagine. The universe is stranger than we can imagine - Sir Arthur Stanley Eddington.
Environmental greetings.

To return to the dear and sweet old Earth, I asked for a 'ride' from Commander John J. Adams (Leslie Nielsen) of the spaceship C-57-D (Forbidden Planet) to comment on this review. Mumble...the review is well done, rating 4.3 (without a periodic). Allan Holdsworth is a technically superior guitarist (if I'm not mistaken, his fingers can extend further than those of other guitarists, allowing him to reach where no guitarist has ever gone before, as in "Atavachron"). His guitar work alongside the defector drummer Bruford is memorable; I haven't listened to this album yet, but I believe I will like it. Guitarist greetings (brv).
Ozric Tentacles Aborescence & Become The Other

Utilizing a tiny space-time distortion, I managed to return from deep space to my 'little storage room' that also contains my computer.
So, thanks to everyone for the comments, especially to the always friendly uhuhpanicouhuh (it's been a while since your first comment on my first ridiculous review of Danny Gatton; I hope to write another better one later to do justice to that great guitarist) and also to Hell, Opel, supervai1986, acqualife, Oleeinar, and master Bartleboom.
I also want to add two curiosities about this interesting group. The first relates to the cover depicted in the review; in fact, the one I own has the titles of the two albums swapped: "Aborescence" is on top while "Become the Other" is on the bottom.
The second is that the title of the first album in the standalone release is "Arborescence," while in this package it is "Aborescence," which appears both on the cover and on the back cover and the spine; however, the title printed on the yellow CD is "Arborescence," and the song titles are also marked with "Arborescence." It's a true mystery (was it done intentionally by the band?).
This double CD is also a good deal, I can't remember if it was 10.90 or 10.50 Euros (in that case, just average it out, hehehe!).
I also agree with everyone else regarding the judgment on "Erpland"; the version I have in digipak is well made and has an 'acceptable' price.
Okay, I hope to return with another review, even though a mysterious force is slowly and inexorably sucking me away to who knows where in the Universe.
Temporal-Spatial greetings (brv).

Just because it's her, Dr. Zaireeka, well, mumble, for the more challenging books "The Mind and the Infinite" (Muzzio - I paid 30,000 lire for it back then and it was worth it) by R. Rucker, but be careful because it’s very complex and many parts are definitely for mathematicians (and I’m not one), however, there are some extremely important curiosities including a memorable encounter with surprising discussions with the (G)enius K. Gödel and Rucker, with some "chilling" details on the border between life and death, in the true sense of the word. The book also features some funny drawings and an infinite number of topics, and at the end, many other interesting books are mentioned, including the Divine Comedy, which unfortunately back in the day when I was at s(q)uola, they "forced" me to memorize, thus distorting its true meaning. They always suggested the usual Fahrenheit 451 and 1984 as holiday reading, great books for sure, but they never made us read, for example: Dick, H. Ellison, and perhaps even Pavese (I still have two of his to read). I had my disappointments in "that environment," but sometimes something positive can emerge from something negative; maybe over time things will change, who knows... Also, "Logical Dilemmas" by John W. Dawson Jr. - the life and work of Kurt Gödel (Bollati Boringhieri) is very nice, always with complex parts, but it also narrates the life of this great mathematician (for some also cryptic) with both moving and funny moments; the only downside is the price, arrgh! (almost 50 euros!!!), better to find it used if possible! Then there are also more 'digestible' books like "The End of Science" by John Horgan, while to relax a bit I read "Extreme Experiences" (it's not a masterpiece though) by Christopher Priest (the one who also wrote eXistenZ), "Ants in the Computer" by Rucker (fun even if not essential). "Snow Crash" by N. Stephenson is also not bad, there's some other stuff that doesn’t come to mind right now, but there’s also "The Time Unknown" (the official sequel to The Time Machine by H.G. Wells) written by mathematician Stephen Baxter, with some interesting topics about time. I think that should be enough for you (at least for now). Temporal greetings (brv).

Dear Dr. Zaireeka and also Dr. Anatas, it's nice to see you again (hehehe! - periodic).
As for the book "The Parrot's Theorem," I haven't read it yet, but intuitively I could already call it interesting. Currently, I might place it at most in the two hundred twenty-second position, after many other books that I presumably should still manage to read (time permitting), including "The Broken Matrix," "Permutation City," and others.
Regarding Zichichi, I can agree with his appearances on television, but keep in mind that especially for a scientist, it is important (perhaps essential) to try to make certain extremely complex reasoning understandable (which is not easy) to everyone (simple people and others) using even elementary language.
Certainly, his explanations have often been a bit so-so, but it was only a small space available, and let's not forget his age, which, despite his powerful mind, is inevitably subject to psycho-neural decay (like everyone or almost "1%").
Nonetheless, he remains a figure (I don't particularly like him) who has made many discoveries in the study of the Fundamental Forces of Nature, holds prestigious positions not just in Italy (and much more) and his ability to explain certain concepts simply is almost extraordinary.
Imagine that it took me months and months and months and months (periodic) to "read" D.R. Hofstadter's book "Fluid Concepts and Creative Analogies." Certainly, it was worth it, but not too much, because it is truly a galactic and monumental "meatball," albeit illuminating in some ways. If he had managed to write it in a more "simple" way, it would have been much better for everyone (even though I don't know how he could have done it).
Now, however, Dr. Zaireeka, with this comment, I have "burned" my second relativistic "extension," and I don't know when the next one will be granted to me.
Greetings in periodic fade (brv).

Thanks to a relativistic "extension" (I still lower relativism) "released" by the fourth "transcendent" zone (Inconstant Universe - V. Vinge) where I currently find myself, so to speak, trapped, I can comment on this review. Therefore, for the "Pav Condicio," I consider it (in my opinion) well done, rating it 4.601123581321 (seq. Mr. Fibonacci), though I primarily leave my comment (yes, 4 T) for the presence of the beautiful monochromatic Gris Payne cover. Almost as if I would get this album just for the cover (a lifetime for covers, but not only) which, as a meta-analogy, reminds me of Camel's "Harbour of Tears" and Focus's "Ship of Memories," two excellent albums. Of course, if you then mention Killing Joke with "Love Like Blood," it all becomes more interesting, while among other things, Pandemonium by KJ disappointed me quite a bit. I won’t rate the album since I've never heard it. The "extension" has temporally ended; now I must return to the fourth zone. It's not too bad; there’s plenty of information available, almost infinite. While I’m at it, I recommend the beautiful booklet by the great Antonio Zichichi, "L'infinito," written in simple language without complicated terminology, suitable for almost everyone. Rammsteinian greetings (brv).

Dear Editors: I momentarily 'emerge' from the 'silence' to express 'solidarity' with good old Jake. Personally, I also have some doubts about the publication of this 'review'; I don't believe it even qualifies as a literary case. The gesture that was made against him was also a serious, irreparable wound to human creativity. I doubt the 'reviewer' actually wrote all this while 'believing' in it. Of course, you publish everything (or almost) and perhaps this should have been an exception; certainly, this risks not allowing all kinds of ideas to be expressed. However, I think there is a risk of falling into the notorious 'relativism'. Aside from political ideas (which I absolutely do not wish to discuss here), I still hope for kindness and the avoidance of disputes with anyone. Thank you, now I can return to my dark refuges.

Great review "telespallata," rated 4.64 (without periodical).
I don't own anything from this group, although I've listened to some of their stuff already, but I’m not sure.
Anyway, if you say it can be found at a reasonable price, I'll rush to look for it at the nearest shopping center (you never know, if I told you what I found and at what prices you wouldn't believe me), plus I have fun because they often play Toto's music from the "speaker" system, muhahaha! (periodical).
The cover is nice but nothing extraordinary.
Cheers with spallate (of course).
