Queen Made in Heaven

Is Barcelona a masterpiece? Well, if I were a fan of Andrea Bocelli, perhaps, but I follow different paths, fortunately... anyway, I give you credit, he's a great performer: I still remember the band's performance of Radiogaga at the San Remo festival, 1984, five spectacular minutes.

Metallica Master Of Puppets

Well, everyone can think what they want, but without Black Sabbath, Metallica would have never existed, or they would have sounded different... Judas Priest played quite progressively on their first two albums, but they were already heavy metal... High Tide, etc. Maiden had a heavy-prog approach that was very "white." Am I crazy to think that heavy metal was born as the illegitimate child of the blues, and consequently, metal is less bluesy than hard rock? There's an abyssal difference between Mountains and Rainbow, yet the first Black Sabbath is also and above all a blues record.

As a composer, he has always made daring choices, excuse me... and his solo albums, well, it's better not to discuss... his voice, on the other hand, was truly unique, even if a bit pompous, but the legends are of a different kind.

Miles Davis In A Silent Way

Yes, Panthalassa was interesting... I love the Materials, especially "the third power" and "hallucination engine." It's a shame that a piece of that album was used for a while for the hardcore images of the 166 on local Italian TV... what sense does that make?

Brian Eno Another Day on Earth

Have a great day to you too. Well, since Eno is a music abulmic, I believe he has a certain admiration for the Radiohead of experimentation (the famous recent trilogy that started with Kid A). Anyway, I really enjoyed this album as well.

Thievery Corporation The Richest Man in Babylon

I don't think I've ever been excited about one of their albums, even though the last one has a few more gems (like the track with Perry Farrell, for example) and yet I've always bought them. Who knows why... the point is that I find Thievery an excellent beach band, entertaining but nothing more... their undeniable pleasantness, but also their predictability (it doesn't take much to combine chill-out and ethnic music, drum'n'bass and ambient dance, house and trip-hop these days) forces me to have them at home for convenience (with the heat, crossing the dunes to the sound of richest man... is just ideal) to submit to the masses. But I think k§k, Photek, Tosca, or Death in Vegas are something else entirely.

What a disappointment the album is... it barely passes as adequate, but compared to the previous ones... perhaps it's time to come down from the Olympus of the Gods... Royal Trux had more humility.

Brian Eno Another Day on Earth

Was it really necessary to bring Duchamp into this? Anyway, the record is really good, the good old Brian still knows how to do it, even though - strangely - he must have had an epiphany from Radiohead's Kid A while thinking about his early albums...
