I hate the singer... therefore I also hate the band!! There are a few nice songs, but they don't hold up in the long run!! The only thing I appreciate about them is the joke they made to Simona Ventura on Quelli che il Calcio, but still, making fun of Ventura is like shooting at the Red Cross...

HEAVEN IN BLACK, if I may suggest, I would recommend starting with Porcupine's "Up the Downstair" and "Stupid Dream," both stunning, as well as "Lightbulb Sun" and "In Absentia"... spectacular enough, then "Coma Divine - Recorded Live In Rome." Do I need to add more? ;) Psychedelic but essential, then "Deadwing," "Signify," and "Sky Moves Sideways"... personally, I didn't like the last one, so I wouldn't recommend starting with that! :D Best regards!

Joe Satriani Not Of This Earth

Satriani shines only in certain songs... when he combines his enormous technique (though, not being a guitarist, I might be talking nonsense here) with a melody and a sense of music that's quite remarkable and absent in other guitar legends, like Steve Vai—if you're not a picky and technical guitarist, it doesn’t really hold up forever!! Anyway, the good Satriani has indeed composed some emotional songs: "Ten Words," for example... but didn’t Satriani also play for a while with Deep Purple?! Just out of curiosity...

But I knew that Windows 95 had forced the introduction of Plug and Play when the ISA standard was still mostly in use. In short, a great and extremely useful innovation, but too forced for the time, to the point that they humorously renamed the system Pray and Play, meaning plug it in and hope the device works... although honestly, the problem wasn’t Windows itself, but rather the peripherals that were not yet ready for the new standard. Anyway, instead of Winzozz, it’s preferable to use any Linux distribution, even though I realize that many programs are native to Windows and those with Linux find themselves stuck :D. What a market problem this is!! We’ll see how Linux will move in the desktop arena in the coming years, but for sure in the server realm, it’s well established :D:D.

@Lucypher, thanks for the clarification! No, I'm fond of the physical format called disk :D By the way, even Radiohead, when they promoted "In Rainbows," offered the option to either simply download the digital tracks or order the deluxe box version of the CD/vinyl directly from their printers, eh ;) and often many bands like Porcupine produce the vinyl version as well :D so the record industry isn't exactly dead...

Macaco, but I knew that the Palladium technology had been abandoned by Microsoft!?!? Or are they still developing it!? I'm stuck on the issue of the DRM in Vista (the biggest flop of an operating system, second only perhaps to Windows 95, just throwing that out there...)!! For Punisher, Palladium is not just a theater in Rome but a way to screw you over because, under the pretext of making your PC a secure system, only authorized software and systems approved by Microsoft can run, of course ;) (some info: Palladium: la Soluzione Finale secondo Microsoft e Intel Anyway, macaco, when you mention Palladium, I think of the death of free software and the Linux world in general, sigh :(

And you don't say anything about the stunning cover of "Stairway to Heaven" featured here!? Great album anyway... :D

Yes, indeed S4DOLL... I don't have such problems with Linux :D It seems to me that Nero is distributed in a reduced form, meaning it shouldn't be the complete suite, that super massive one with billions of malevolent trinkets known to most as programs (like audio editing, video editing, cover creation, audio extraction, etc. etc.) :D A step forward in the open source world was made by Dell, I think, equipping some laptops with Ubuntu, although that turned out to be somewhat of a failure even though I haven't followed the story anymore...

hmmm... S4DOLL said my same things impeccably and, above all, added a lot of additional useful information... I retreat in shameful silence!! :( I just add that it's time for people to start noticing the world of open source, which is a great alternative to proprietary systems and programs for the PCs that are at home... in short, this way you can freely curse if something goes wrong without cursing the day you spent all that money ;) even though I believe few have ever purchased licenses for proprietary software like Nero or antivirus and similar ones! (we understood each other, right...)
