Yes, yes, I’m not saying they don’t talk about it, but I don’t like the way they talk about it, precisely... Yes, in the end, "de gustibus"... Beautiful.

An almost perfect album, flawless, and beautifully produced... Hands up!

PS: I much prefer Rumore to Blow Up... I find a lot less pretension and clarity in it, compared to what should be an "adult magazine"... ;-)

Dear Giorgio, I don't believe that covering all genres is a way to consider a magazine comprehensive from every perspective... Let’s be clear: the intention to provide a global view of the musical landscape is certainly commendable, but its execution, in my opinion, is lacking.... Blow Up is a magazine where the desire to produce something forcibly adult and refined seems to lead to a tide of prejudices towards many of the genres discussed (especially Electronic and black music, when they appear), resulting in almost always sterile criticism of any product that deviates even minimally from convoluted and self-serving experimentalism.... That’s why I prefer targeted magazines that address the various "fields of action" (Superfly and Basement for Electronic and Black music, for example, but I believe this applies to more Rock-oriented magazines as well), rather than turning to certain "specialized" press, which instead of being specialized risks having little to nothing, overflowing with snobbish preconceptions and big words in pure Ghezzi-style used just to seem a bit cool....

The problem isn't Trentemoeller; the problem is that Blow Up doesn't have a single person on its staff who can talk about electronic dance music in a competent and appropriate way without falling into intellectual prejudices... It's a matter of principle; how can you have the same person review Iggy Pop and Trentemoeller? The desire to be an expert in everything can lead to banal and obvious judgments; coincidentally, 90% of club culture enthusiasts and the like do not read Blow Up but look elsewhere...

Unfortunately, you know what’s the problem? Many believe that "creating a serious magazine" rhymes with "using big words and dismissing anything that even remotely resembles easy-listening".... More than a sign of maturity, it seems to me a very sad proof of the most base mental limitation... ;-))

As far as the quote taken from Blow Up is concerned, it seems perfectly in line with the magazine: presumptuous, snobbish, intellectualized, and absolutely inadequate to discuss this type of music.

I didn't find it so "insignificant," on the contrary.... Not to be missed is his super acidic rmx of "Rudebox" by Robbie Williams, stuff that would make even paraplegics dance...
