AA.VV. Beretta 70: Roaring Themes From Thrilling Italian Policefilms 1971-1980

Of course Hal, I also own that one and the movie too :-)) By the way, the theme with the strings has also been sampled by Non Phixion (a renowned rap group, for those who don't know) in the beautiful "The CIA Is Trying To Kill Me." Give it a try to believe it ;-)

"I know 'Milano Odia, La Polizia Non Può Sparare' well, one of the first truly 'Pulp' films in the police genre, which I have on DVD in a strictly UNCUT version ;-))"

Mr. Nobody, I'll be honest: I'm not a big listener of new music like I used to be; I prefer to catch up on milestones and albums from the past that I couldn't experience directly because of my young age ;-) But I have listened to some new albums: Soulwax, LCD Soundsystem, Royksopp, Boards Of Canada, Autechre, Chikinki... Maybe I'll try to make a list of them :-)

I just added the site to the DeB links ;-) But how scary is the piece that plays as soon as you visit the homepage?

Alright, it's clear you've reviewed "Under The Influence." But do you realize that Xenakis also remixed it? I listened to "Persepolis," and after an hour, I went into paranoia :-))

There’s an extra CONSIDERO. It doesn’t matter, what’s important is the substance of the message :-))

mikorn, I believe that DJ Spooky, alongside figures like Amon Tobin, Squarepusher, or DJ Shadow, is not at all a mere samplist or a cold "PC music tinkerer" (what a terrible term, allow me a subtle critique), but rather elevates the techniques of sampling and mixing to pure art, not limiting himself to the simple Boom-Cha but going beyond, much beyond. Music, in my opinion, is a universal language and the way it is produced matters relatively; for this reason, I consider albums like "Riddim Warfare" from the aforementioned artist, "Kakusei" by DJ Krush, or "Endtroducing" by DJ Shadow to be masterpieces in the history of music, on par with "Velvet Underground & Nico" or "London Calling," I see absolutely no difference. Open up ya minds ;-)

Great review, now we need to fill in the gaps in his discography. I definitely recommend "Optometry" and its twin "Dubtometry," but above all "Riddim Warfare," probably his true masterpiece. Also, try to read the interview on Superfly from a couple of years ago, in the "Ad Occhi Chiusi" section: damn, he's a real human encyclopedia, I even envy him the Sun Ra T-Shirt :-))
