But perhaps, more than a potential inflation of the ambient scene, it's rather Roach who hasn't evolved (or at least not enough). Acknowledging the masterpieces from the late '80s to early '90s is fair and just, but creating pure synth ambient today is outdated.

In my opinion, ambient music today (with all its derivations/contaminations) is a more vibrant genre than ever.

Perhaps Roach is simply an old lion of the genre who cannot keep up with the times (for instance, when it comes to pioneers of the genre, a Robert Rich seems more attuned to this era or has at least explored different paths).

Whatever you may think, I assert without a shadow of a doubt that Toki was certainly the most talented of the three.
The transmigration through Ken's Satori? Raul's immeasurable strength? Child's play.
Toki was the only (THE ONLY) one who could stimulate the pressure points, regenerating the affected body.
You might say that Ken also helped Lyn, healing her from blindness with a gentle pressure on her temples, but I remind the more forgetful ones that Toki granted extra days to Rey after he was struck with unprecedented violence by Raul.
Come on, let's be real here!

But shall we lay it all out?!
The cause of Toki's organ weakness (which did not prevent him from unleashing the incredibly complicated technique of the Flying Lightning in his battle with Raul) was caused by Ken, Julia, and those kids that Toki saved by locking them in the hangar, exposing himself to the raging radiation outside.
The truth is that the world, life, and fate are unjust, and they have always been.

And you, the kids saved by the Christ of Hokuto, wherever you are now... GO FUCK YOURSELF!!

"written confession is always deceitful" (Svevo).
I know I risk coming across as a pretentious pain in the ass, but as I move further along this thing called life, I increasingly believe that autobiography has far less reason to exist than biography.
Why do I say this?
Because the biographer, precisely due to their "distance" from the life being examined, can provide "other" keys to understanding that attempt to connect the dots in a more detached (and therefore perhaps clearer) manner, revealing unsuspected points of contact with artists who may be very different from the one whose life is being analyzed.
One might argue that the biographer, being external, cannot know or interpret all the facts.
But is a sixty-year-old man like Kiedis really less "external" to the twenty-year-old Kiedis?
To remember is to distort if not outright reinvent, if only because a confession (which an autobiography should be) presupposes a reader, and thus, in front of another, we cannot in any way return ourselves: we will return a more vivid, darker, more vulnerable, more multicolored self, but not the self in its essence (assuming that's even possible).
It’s a book for fans (and that’s perfectly fine, don’t get me wrong), but it doesn’t provide and cannot provide new tools to reframe what we already knew about Kiedis the artist, and it cannot do so precisely because he is the one writing it.

I couldn't care less about Concato, however, I really love digressions (especially when they're written so well).
And on top of that, there's a maxim that I wholeheartedly endorse to accompany it all: "Like any passion worth its salt, the first thing is to neglect it as much as possible so that the impulse is at its peak."
