Everything But The Girl Walking Wounded

I am in complete harmony with the Wizard: the younger ones can hardly understand the charm that "Eden" also exudes. I remember running to see them in Naples, at one of their first Italian concerts, right in the midst of the newcool era. Ben Watt is a breed of musician and has created some little-known solo works of remarkable intensity and quality: one for all, "North Marine Drive." Thorn, then, also sang in that gem by the Style Council, "The Paris Match." But their Drum&Bass turn, marked by this album, I liked very much. Dance music is not second-class music.

One of the most beautiful singles in the genre is "Timeless" by Goldie; there was also a fantastic remix.

Very talented and unfortunate poor Laura Nyro, but she deserves more of a review than just a quote as a reference. Anyway, give me that 4 and let’s get it over with. :-)
Gabri, how many beautiful dreams have you had with all those covers! ;-)
Josi_, is that lovely line from a song by deus?

Voice à la Wilson (Steve or Brian?), "thefts" of artworks worthy of Munch's "The Scream," Logic strongly recommending... with much less I would have already taken off like a hound.

P.S. In percentage, how much is there of No Man? Shouldn't "Flowermouth" be properly reviewed?

I like Drum & Bass, but in this work Roni Size tries to go beyond, and he succeeds. I bought the album back in the day when I was infatuated with the genre. For me, the best of the bunch are the 4Hero. However, it doesn’t seem to me like music for couch potatoes… ;-)

I think the same way as easy and mago, even though it's an album with notable highs and lows, and some songs drag on a bit too long, coming off as rather self-indulgent. The title track is very nice. The right rating would be a 3.5.

You did well to include the samples that seem very promising to me. Excellent presence, a voice that is unforgettable, and a reception that does them great justice.

It's a shame they've somewhat faded (too many chases?), but back then they were a promising and fun group.

The great Alex Chilton... how can you give this record less than a 5? Well done. I want to highlight a dark, haunting, and magnificent version of "Holocaust" on the This Mortal Coil album "It'll End In Tears."

Lucio Battisti Il mio canto libero

Finally, I find myself among Battisti enthusiasts who appreciate "Don Giovanni," a masterpiece in my opinion. Panella's lyrics, with their nonsense, explosive verbal inventions, and subtle irony, blend beautifully with our composer's music.
