A very moving album. And as for prejudices... sometimes they make everything more humorous.

Divine Signaling, an album of undeniable beauty. I don’t remember in the comments of which review, but someone suggested to revisit Elton John's early works to find the roots of Kate Bush. In my opinion, the true source of inspiration for the English singer traces back to here. Alright, I’m off to listen to it...

Rush Roll The Bones

A nice review of an album that, aside from the wonderful "Bravado," has never really moved me much. Personally, I've always been strongly allergic to Peart's spoken intervention in the title track. However, it's still Rush, and the quality is always high!

Bratta has gradually withdrawn from the scene to take care of his parents, both in precarious health. I’ve also heard that he now works as a computer technician and doesn’t want to return to the music world, which truly saddens me, considering how he could make the guitar sing. The review is beautiful and intriguing; Tramp has always seemed a bit too much of a chameleon to me (pop beginnings, then hair metal, then funky metal, then the new White Lion...)

Very interesting report. It also highlights a problem I've never understood: why do record labels on the verge of bootlegging always make colossal mistakes in the credits and tracklists? Thanks also to GiovanniA for the link.

Hollywood Rose The Roots of Guns n' Roses

I remember that during that time, when I bought HM and saw how many "family ties" were involved in the L.A. scene, I ended up not understanding anything (especially since I was a huge fan of King Diamond, who had little to do with sleaze). It was a completely crazy and super fun scene, the only one where you could still breathe the electric air of the '70s. Then the Guns became an institution, and all the poetry of that time was lost. Ugh... Core: enough with these reviews that keep slapping me in the face with the fact that I'm dangerously nearing forty!!!!

Gary Numan The Pleasure Principle

With pop-rock becoming worse than prêt-à-porter (where you occasionally pull out things from twenty years ago), I believe we should be careful not to relegate Numan as a representative of his time. You underestimate someone and then suddenly everyone samples him, cites him, covers him... I really like this album. I also find something of the more accessible Can (those from "Flow Motion," for example) and - surprise - certain melodies remind me of Le Orme from the late '70s (a coincidence, I know).

It's indeed a nice album. But I also like "Senza far rumore."

What memories!!! My ex-colleague and I on the way back from work (I was hitching a ride) with "Needle in the Camel's Eye" blasting at full volume!!! This movie, and this soundtrack, introduced me to so much great music. It's a shame that the glam epic, so colorful, is portrayed in such a somber way in the film (and then, what a dull image they give us of the '80s... is it really possible that there was nothing good?).

Particularly the first Tracks, which always surprise you where you least expect it (for example: the strongly psychedelic introduction of "Senti l'Estate..."). Nice also the review... I would like to make a note: I would have also mentioned "Casa Mia," in my opinion, for that period, their most successful track.
