This and the other one reviewed by lovi are out of this world. 5 by default ;-)
Philip Glass The Hours

I'm quite a fan of soundtracks (thanks to digging and beat juggling), especially for all those releases from the late '60s and '70s (Mayfield, Hayes, Hutch, Bacalov, Piccioni, Umiliani, Morricone, Goblin, Trovajoli, Micalizzi, Carpenter, etc...). In particular, the ones from b-movies are absolutely badass! :-)))
Prodigy Their Law: The Singles 1990-2005 Deluxe Edition

I believe the record is completely useless for understanding the world of a group in need of undoubtedly deeper knowledge. The first two albums, "Experience" and "Music For The Jilted Generation," are absolute masterpieces of dance electronic music, and a colorless greatest hits compilation will not be able to replicate the emotions evoked by listening to them.

Bah, I much prefer disco music to "stoner-rock," dear anonymous ;-) Technotronic against all!!!! PUMP UP THE JAM, PUMP IT UP AND YO PUMPIN, AND YO PUMPIN!!! The FPI Project is also amazing, and how can we not mention the legendary Gam Gam remixed by Gabry Ponte :D

Well guys, let’s not tear each other apart over our musical tastes! For some, this album will be a masterpiece, for others a colossal flop, and for still others (including yours truly) a good album and nothing more, but come on, DEMOCRACY :D Just don’t impose your views with arrogance and bulliness, the rest follows naturally...

And instead, I never get tired of saying: ELECTRO GET FLOWIN AND THE FUNK WON'T STOP, TIME TO CLEAR THE FLOOR AND LET THE ZULU RO-RO-RO-RO-RO-RO-ROCK!!!!!!! :D

Beautiful for the first half (that is, the first 4-5 tracks), then it loses a bit of its edge. It remains an excellent album, of course, but I find it absolutely incomparable to "Blue Lines" or, even more, to the mega-ultra-stratospheric masterpiece "Mezzanine" (it's clear that it’s one of my 10 all-time favorite albums :D)
Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band Trout Mask Replica

I bought it after reading an interview with DJ Spooky in Superfly. Listening to it again, I find it incredibly original but absolutely unbearable to my ears; I don’t know, I just can’t put myself in the mindset that leads to producing music of this kind. Let me be clear, I don’t disdain Free Jazz; on the contrary, I have a great appreciation for artists like Pharoah Sanders and the experimental Sun Ra from the period of 67-74, let’s say. But this really seems like too much... I take it off after 10 minutes and put on a Herbie Hancock record! :-)))

I’m not familiar with the aforementioned soundtrack. The only work I have by Philip Glass is "Music In Twelve Parts." I hold in high regard figures like him or Steve Reich, who, with their experiments at the edge of sound minimalism, have influenced quite a few artists. Nice review ;-)

Wow, could one dare to make a comparison with the immense Pan Sonic? By the way, a terrifying new record by Mika Vaino just came out, which I listened to today at Feltrinelli along with the new Depeche Mode (nice). Hello, beautiful pulentùn! :D
