sylvian1982

Simply one of the first great albums of the 21st century. A lightness and a sweetness that are hard to find elsewhere. By far the most precious piece in the short catalog of Mojave 3.

I don't know why I've never bought (or even listened to) this album that has crossed my path (even metaphorically) several times. The funny thing is that, I think, it could very well fit my tastes. Socrates, a guarantee. Brazil is slowly getting better, while I don't see our Italy doing well at all. In my opinion, we're in for a big risk starting tomorrow against the Czechs.

Song to the Siren is worth the entire album on its own. Can we talk about a version that surpasses the original?

Oops! The grades

After reading praises that were more or less enthusiastic everywhere, I bought this album. And when there are high expectations, not always but generally, there are also big disappointments. It's not that it's a bad album. I would describe it as anonymous. I place it next to Fisherman's Woman by Emiliana Torrini, which I had the chance to review on these "pages" about 16 months ago. It may appeal to some, just not to me.

Unmatched as always. Although a little ear-tugging this time may be in order. The Nightfly is from 1982, so yes, the works are three but published in just over two decades, not three. After this "niggle," I must say that The Nightfly is untouchable and Kamakiriad is its faded copy. The class is there, but copies are never like the original. I know almost nothing about this, and to tell the truth, seeing such a gray-haired man on the cover doesn’t really spark many fantasies. Musically speaking, that is! Given the market trends, I hope to find it at mid-price in a short time. I also agree with the artists’ choices to space out their releases, perhaps not every couple of decades, but certainly not with the frenzied Zappa-like rhythms. Hello, Socrates. Brazil didn’t thrill me last night, but they have so many arrows in their quiver that something always comes out.

I’ve never understood whether groups like Pavement are praised because nobody pays attention to them or due to their undeniable greatness.

I bought this record back in September 1991 in London on my honeymoon. Can you believe it! I've always seen Siouxsie as a poor imitation of Robert Smith. I stand by that judgment to this day.

Well done, Mariaelena. You've really made me want to listen to this record. I’ve read elsewhere the comparison to the less noisy Mogwai, and the reference to "Folk" in DeGeneri makes me smile, if nothing else. Of course, keeping up with all the releases would require the well of Saint Patrick.

Hello Socrates, since you mentioned the "punched" records, do you know (or does anyone know) why this doesn’t happen with CDs? It’s true that the so-called "punched" records were only enjoyed by the final buyer, but just think about the thrill of bringing home ten vinyl records for 29,000 lira!
Why don’t they do that anymore with compact discs? Yet I believe there are piles of unsold CDs out there. Honestly, I can’t explain it, and I somewhat miss those times when you would buy an unknown long playing record just because the cover caught your eye.
