I need to get back to this...for me, too much English. And I understand that this is the point. As of now, I prefer Artur but I've never really gotten into the Kinks seriously.

It seems like you haven't written in a while, good to have you back!
Great review; I am totally clueless about opera (well, I know the most famous arias from Carmen too), and I have to say that I had heard the news as well.

So you’re saying, good for the director who made a huge mess because it got people talking about opera?
Fair enough. :)
It's a bit sad that everyone talks about something just to criticize... but if it helps attract more people to the art form, then that's a good thing!

eeeh Husker on Deb is an easy win :)
My peer here is really a hotshot... he could have been the turning point of their career, and instead, unfortunately, it was the end. Who knows how it would have been if the Huskers had become as big as, I don't know, the REM of the 90s. Maybe we wouldn’t love them as much.
Great band, and above all, great songs.

I see that you too are starting to feel the first signs of post-adolescent/midlife crises :D bad story.
My grandmother, who at my age already had three kids, is sailing through her eighties with an optimism I’ll never have (and I think that’s a problem)... BUT EVERYTHING WILL WORK OUT

Happy New Year!

Listening to it, I never thought of jazz or rock (if not in a minor way), but rather of certain cultured avant-gardes. I remember there’s a significant use of aleatoric elements (that's what it will later be called) with different transistor radios randomly turned on during the performance. Honestly, I don’t hear anything from this album in the Pink Floyd (although I don’t deny that they might have been an influence; I would be curious to read something about what Syd thought on this). Rather, I sense echoes (that I couldn’t say if they actually come from here) in certain works by Area and Henry Cow.

The return. Or were you always active but with another nik?

Come on...jovanotti...the red cross...

Oh, in the end with the I, for all the effort they made to try something different (I tell the truth, I only heard a bit of it passing on YouTube but I wasn't too surprised). With this K it seems like they've gone back to their roots.
Everything is very nice, but with the technical evolution that the genre has gone through, some of their stuff now feels a bit like bridal music :D
But it's not to say that they are worse, though... they definitely feel less "scary."

beautiful this cycle of reviews you have on the theme.
A genre that I have always hated since post-Marley, but the pre-Marley (of which I was very ignorant) I think does a lot for me, and when I get the chance I'll add it to the list.

I've never listened to her and I don't think I'll start from here. She fascinates me because I don't consider her beautiful at all, but for some reason, I don't think she's ugly either. Who knows, maybe it's ammmooreee.

I've been wanting to write this review for a while! Good thing you hinted at me, otherwise I wouldn't know what to talk about!
I've always associated them with the Zombies (@luludia, if I'm not mistaken, we talked about this in a review of the Zombies, anyway this is your thing) but I like them more.

Question: In the second song, there's a bass line that I'm sure is the same as in Live/Dead by the Grateful... I haven't figured out if both cite something else, if one of them cites the other, or if it's just a coincidence.

Great Kendrik! One of the few artists in recent years that I consider myself a fan of.
