Fabio Genovesi Cadrò, sognando di volare

But doesn’t anyone draw a nice cannon on the cover photo of the Settimana Enigmistica? The bigger, the better: after all, even if it covers the crossword boxes, it doesn’t matter much, because the crossword on the cover is a disgrace for skilled solvers. Fixed appointments include searching for crosswords, mandatory intersections, concentric frames, words without patterns, and three endings with a free format featuring Bartezzaghi.

In the landscape of current Italian publishing, I must unfortunately agree with @lector; therefore, despite the silky trimmings of @tia's words, I will not succumb to the temptations of the narrative proposal.

Yes, I need to see him for the sake of the love I have always had for Terry and those other five ragtag pals.

..."Wahnfried 1883": let’s write it down correctly, also because it’s the true masterpiece of the album! I reproach "Bayreuth Return" for lacking the same pathos, and in general, I think both pieces are excessively long.
A somewhat naive review: it’s right to mention Jarre and also Roach (why not), but the comparison with Nietzsche and Wagner shouldn’t generate any conjecture about Nazism! It seems like a rather reductive and uncharitable remark towards the philosopher and the composer.

A review that's difficult to decipher, but as usual, certain brushstrokes from Asterix possess a magnificent lightness and awaken the usual curiosity in the reader to attempt or delve deeper into the listening experience.
Until next time, old man!

Amendment to the review: "In memory of the 'lazy friend' (of which the link no longer worked)." See the old version The Pavilion of Dreams - Harold Budd - recensione Versione 1

I haven't listened to it in ages, while I recall, on the contrary, much better Schwingungen, which is one of the peaks of Krautrock (even if, if I'm not mistaken, Schulze is no longer in the band).
A note on the review: is the "god Ash Ra" a license of the author? Surely it is not a deity from the Egyptian pantheon: the god was Ra, while Ash - who was indeed a deity but connected to the cult of Seth - according to Gottsching was chosen as a term to express the concept of "ash" associated with death.

What a confusion, Asterix! I understood little of the anamnesis of this last one of yours and I have one thing to tell you: very often the ineffable overshadows the good attempts to talk about a musical, artistic, or literary work, as happened in your case, but perhaps when it comes to writing reviews, a little more effort is needed, or blinded by the supposed brilliance of certain knowledge, we end up retreating behind reticence. However, let’s say that your aporia stirs my curiosity, so you’ve earned a listen.
And then there’s one of your usual neologisms, punctual like an Italian clock: that "cadenzatura" which creates a blend of cadenza and andatura. The usual sly fox.

It doesn't tear me apart to the same extent, but I might be mistaken. I will listen to it again.
Andy Partridge & Harold Budd Through the hill

No, I have listened to and loved, in addition to the masterpieces from the solo works of the '70s and '80s, many of his brilliant collaborations (Eno, Cocteau Twins, Zazou), but not this one. I’m very curious, so I won’t miss the chance to listen to it.

I preferred other reviews from @[Dr.Adder] (this one lacks a certain spark, perhaps something to include at the end), but it still deserves top marks because it contains commendations about the booklet. This adds significant value because it shows we are dealing with an aficionado who buys records – and for me, that is already a reason for deep respect – and above all, it highlights an interest in the packaging that is often dismissed as a negligible aspect. Well done.
