Imperfect work, but extraordinary in many ways. I disagree with the review on a single point: "this (forgotten) album." At this point, it has been mentioned so often as a forgotten album that it's no longer possible to call it that. dettaglio:

I love this group because it has always been genuine, in the sense that everything you hear coming out of the grooves of their albums is truth. I think of Phil as a tutelary deity...

Speaking of entire albums, I see this one as a bit weaker compared to the previous two ("Arrival" and "The Album") and the following two (in particular, "The Visitors", perhaps their most "album" album). However, there is "If it wasn' for the nights" here, which I find irresistible.

Howard Phillips Lovecraft Il secolo di Cthulhu: Scritti in onore del centenario

Beautiful page! Personally, though, I'd give Guarriello a rap on the knuckles: it's fine to research origins and influences, but wondering whether Lovecraft is more of an endpoint or a starting point is like asking whether the chicken or the egg came first. Guarriello:

I like this review, as it gives me the opportunity to listen again to an album I haven't touched in a long time and that, when I listened to it, seemed a bit clumsy to me.

However, this is also the album of "Magritte", which would deserve a mention...

I actually felt like listening to them again today. Back in '86, they were a most welcome surprise: more passionate than much of the glam that was popular at the time, extraordinarily sincere, capable of moments rich with poetry (the introduction to "Little Suzi," as you pointed out, but also the one in "Gettin' better" and the haunting guitar sound that opens the intense "Before my Eyes"). On "Linea Rock," on Radio Peter Flowers, the good Marco Garavelli played them so often that I managed to record practically the entire album—which, later on, with a little more money in my pocket, I didn't hesitate to buy. graditissima:

Patty Pravo Pazza idea

Even though I was born then (I'm the same age as this album), I don't really know what the '70s were like—but I feel nostalgic for them anyway! What a character Patty was; from the videos I've seen, she was on stage, or in front of the camera, with a unique presence. Among these tracks, I've always had a soft spot for "Morire fra le viole."

I feel a deep sense of nostalgia. I have to get it back.

David Lynch Dune

It’s impossible to give it a rating, but I’ve always really loved this Dune—and seen in the fanedit you linked, it becomes incredibly coherent. It’s definitely unfaithful, it takes some rather bold liberties (the estrangement technique that becomes a sonic weapon), but it conveys the more mystical (and mysterious) side of the work extremely effectively, in a way that, in some sense, is even better than Villeneuve’s diptych (which I like nonetheless).
