Ahahaha.. I’ll add this to the recommended for the comments :DDD

And who the hell are they? :)

Yes, changing the arrangement doesn't make sense. Many contemporaries have sampled Tschaikovsky and Beethoven... sure, they sound modern now with synths and drums, but they have nothing to do with it, and they fit perfectly in the era they were from :)

The comparison between Lennon and Barrett might seem a bit forced, but Caz made a very valid point regarding the role of musical genius. A musical genius is someone who prophesies, who sees beyond, who anticipates tastes and trends, and Barrett, in his hallucinatory output with or without Pink, was indeed that; that Lennon was great in his own right is another matter altogether, but he somewhat inserted himself into a musical context whose language he at least reworked. However, Strangler's comment is excellent: "If Barrett had kept his neurons intact, it means he would never have been Barrett"... Caz, here you are asking too much by saying that "after the first album, Barrett went insane": what was that, a symptomatic thing? Was he healthy in Piper, and not in the others? And then, what does madness identify with? Was there not already some imbalance in Piper, if a track like "Astronomy Domine," interpreted by Syd out of pure lysergic enthusiasm as he himself stated, already bore its mark? Well, I would say rather that Barrett progressively lost himself along the way, and his madness, not at its peak (the kind, I mean, of the fat bald Barrett with his mother, as Giov says), but induced by some acid like in Piper and Saucerful, could have been constructive. But frankly, to pass off the Syd of Piper as healthy (as you suggest, Caz) and the subsequent one as mad without any continuity seems exaggerated to me. If he had really had his brain in the right place SINCE PIPER, without acids and drugs, he wouldn't even have written "Interstellar Overdrive," which, by the way, seems to me to be from the '70s :)

Great Grass, now let's go full throttle with the classical reviews! :) Did you find or scan the cover? I don't know anything about Copland, but I do about Dvorak and his "Largo," and if the school is the right one, I’d be more than happy to look for it... very good!

Hi Kosmo, sorry but I couldn't respond to you! :) Of course "Treasure," the masterpiece of the genre, wonderfully reviewed by Cleo... read it and let me know, I'll also send you some samples via email if you'd like... bye bye

Sure, you build an entire argument on an assumption - the fact that Consoli is the best - which you take for granted... well, let's say I partially defend your thesis, to the extent that I believe Consoli is among the most interesting performers, less obscure than one might think, often crucified for her language, which, due to its lack of superficiality, is labeled as inconsistency and an inclination towards superstructure. Instead, it is often the people who do not make an effort to understand, and it's easy to say that there is only hot air.

I have something better. I have two cats the size of turkeys, now neutered, who groom each other while embracing. For them, the idea of getting laid is now a distant memory.

Grasshopper, I sent you a message, please reply when you can :)
