Destroyer Your Blues

Yes, let's say that art rock is another one of the ingredients. I tell Gabri that I thought the album already enjoyed a certain popularity, at least among "the insiders." If that's not the case, then I hope I have contributed, in my own small way, to its spread.

I’ll book myself for "Night & Day," then. When I hear people talking superficially about the '80s while ignoring albums like these, it makes me a bit angry.

Dear Grass, we are even. If you had wanted to review Fagen, I would have liked to talk about Joe Jackson.
Anyway, given the quality of the review, there's no regret. ;-)
P.S. Is "Night & Day" already out? For me, it's on the same level as this one.

The Church HeyDay

The explanation of zaireeka might be plausible, even though, to tell the truth, pop-rock music from every latitude has often and willingly drawn, and almost always with a polemical intent, from Christian terminology. I'm glad that there is someone who finds them noteworthy: I was starting to think that the Church was just an obsession of mine.

Let the dwarfs add, if they can, an "n" to the unconscious...the keyboard is not my forte.

The vote was clearly wrong: does the unconscious have anything to do with it? ;-)

That today a large part of Hip Hop music, or pseudo-Hip Hop, is, to say the least, disappointing seems obvious to me. However, that the Black Eyed Peas, within their genre and considering that it is still dance music, cannot be lumped in with the same "jam" seems equally clear. The album, contrary to what Devon claims, is not at all monotonous, but has interesting ideas, references to jazz, soul, Brazilian music, as well as clever samples. I don’t mind it at all. If it’s just the genre that doesn’t fit your tastes, that’s another story.

I cherish the vinyl of this album. For me, it holds more sentimental value than artistic value, but it's still a work of quality. The must-have album by Primal Scream is, in my opinion, "Screamadelica." In the history of music, it represents a turning point.

Talk Talk Spirit Of Eden

I agree that this is Talk Talk's best work and that it represents a turning point in the group's production. I am slightly less inclined to hastily categorize their previous works as "new romantic" and to label them as "not much." Even in the days of their hits, Hollis's band was always more than respectable. They are far better in the charts than some of the rubbish we've seen lately. Beyond this, however, the review is positive.

Grasshopper, it's a compliment for which I am very grateful, though, in all honesty, I don't believe I deserve it: the album is out of this world. I hope, more modestly, to have sparked a bit of curiosity in those who had never heard of Fagen and Steely Dan, encouraging them to listen to the album.
