Hehe, bigheaded by name and by nature. Setting aside the highly debatable provocations about Mozart, which, by the way, are among the things that scandalize me the least in your review, there are a couple of questionable impressions; first of all, the notation regarding the inability or reluctance to dig deep into Aphex doesn’t seem very significant to me. I believe that his music has never set out to achieve that goal by definition: "ambient" works that, as such, translate into a nutshell the conception of filler music that doesn’t aim to be "sentimental." That Richard played it smart by calling a music "ambient" that he knew to be less superficial than he claimed is another matter entirely, subject to an interesting discussion we could also engage in, but without preconceived certainties. Regarding the musical terrorism of recent times, your opinions, by the way somewhat cryptic, as the concept itself is not very clear: maybe you could explain what you mean. Wow, so many certainties!

The "Mediterraneity" of the album has been discussed quite a bit, I believe: Grass's excellent review specifically referred to how this album embraces the entire Mediterranean culture due to the historical connections that have tied Genoa to the Mediterranean basin, shaping both the dialect and culture of the city itself; however, I believe the album should first and foremost be credited for its Ligurian soul, for the evocative nature of those images (both visual and musical) that, while ideally belonging to a Mediterranean scrubland, are realistically tied to the lands loved by De André.

You should read these private messages, but since I'm not a meddlers, I won't insist. However, you love each other just the same, in my opinion.

My friend, read it again. <<<The production for piano and voice (or, with a bit of luck, for solo piano) is the only one, by Mertens, worth following. The endless box sets of that clumsy chamber music with which he is making his public apprenticeship are gladly left to the fanatics and collectors.>>> Now, since "Maximizing" and "Struggle For Pleasure" are not for piano or piano and voice (sometimes there's not even a piano at all, as in "Circles"), assuming you're not referring to them when you mention the clumsy chamber music, you still exclude them from the "music worth listening to." Hence, we return to the previous point: the review is a bit of a mess. But hadn't we seen each other elsewhere? Well, then you’re a repeat offender. :)

I'm not entirely clear on the situation, but overall, after a basic examination, I believe that you, Pattybloom and Punisher, love each other.

No, no, I never said it should tone down or make more soothing music: it simply could have deconstructed the idea to explore more directions. It’s anything but toning down, it’s the opposite. But your point of view is perfectly valid as well; after all, we’re talking about something very controversial, difficult and steep music: all opinions are welcome, and in the end, the important thing is to recognize the value of these works, which we both do... that’s no small feat! :) Géza, Géza... instead of hurling improbable comparisons, why don’t you listen to these records so you can form your own opinion? Or is it too steep for your ears accustomed to dream-pop? After all, I really like Schulze, or I wouldn’t speak about him so positively while also giving him top marks. Come on, come back when you’re more prepared :)

But no, no, on the contrary, Ondarock and Scaruffo praise him quite a bit: they hit hard perhaps in regard to certain photocopy albums from the 80s. By the way, I listened to the latest one, "Moondance": damn, it’s so worn-out and recycled, it’s clear he has run out of steam. He detests time, yeah, but it’s legitimate for listeners to express a certain sense of exhaustion. For example: the few essential notes of the organ in "Ebene" are magnificent and exhilarating, but they could have been enriched with a few more ideas, without forcing Schulze to change his fundamental idea of temporality: yet the German always lingers on a single melodic structure, often exhausting both the music and “average” listeners like me :)

Of course, of course, it's all premeditated, and Klaus's 30-piece orchestras are certainly not a detail. There's class, but in my opinion, their musical talents are often overestimated. Regarding the "boredom-not boredom" issue, in a way, I admire you because I really enjoy different passages of Irrlicht, yet I feel exhaustion in several points and I realize that my ears can't handle certain listens. :) From this perspective, I reiterate that more electronic works like Timewind are more accessible; despite being heavy in length, they present themselves as more intriguing with their minimalistic variations. About the Wagnerian character of Schulze's work, if you don't know him (you're the krautomaniac expert, but you never know!), I recommend listening to "Voices Of Syn" from "Blackdance," a truly unique experiment in the entire Schulze production. Strange.

..."the voice does injustice to the piano": coincidentally, it chooses one of the most sung tracks by Mertens, snubbing "The Fosse" from "Maximizing The Audience," where Mertens sings very little in a total of 70 minutes. Well.
