Alice Viaggio in Italia
Voto:
I have always loved her. It’s been a long time since I listened to her, but she has always been an artist I greatly admire. I don’t know, I find myself in her shadowiness, in her constant retreat from the public scene, so "à coté." She publishes her work, and then there’s a mystery surrounding her life, her private affairs. I like this aspect; it does her honor. For me, she’s a great one in Italy, undeniably. I need to get this album, one way or another.

Do you mean vintage sound? I'm waiting for updates on the full format. Great cover, it looks promising. Welcome back to these shores, Giov ;)
Mercury Rev The Secret Migration

One of the very few beautiful releases of this beginning of the year. These days it keeps me company. You Josi_, comforting and generous like a fireplace, just as Zzzz says :D ---- ("...and at his kiss, a terrified pleasure slithered through my veins...", what a splendid phrase)

"... Buying records is a constant search, a bit of a disease, a kind of fetish perversion, it's never enough, never. You never reach a rest." Ehheheehee eeeheee ehhhhhehhhhh, HOW RIGHT YOU ARE Airone! :D
Zucchero ZU & Co.
Voto:
Zucchero is a bit strange to me. He embodies the concentrated prejudices that foreigners have about Italians. He manages to charm both the audience and artists (well, not exactly all of them, but many do) thanks to his spaghetti-loving, shrewd, absent-minded, pompous, macho, and copycat persona, which represents all the classic stereotypes that people abroad have about Italians. Because, whether we like it or not, in America or England, the Italian à la Mastroianni, Sordi, and Tognazzi is still quite popular. As long as Adelmo invites all these people (Sting, Brian May, Pavarotti, Eric Clapton, and various others) to his agriturismo, they can tolerate him. What’s an solo in exchange for a nice Italian feast at Adelmo's Farm? Alright... he has written a few nice songs. Let’s just say he’s good at listening to music.
Amon Düül II Phallus Dei

The review, enriched by debate, is a nice result for Klee. However, I find myself a bit perplexed by the "...they supported the utopian Flower-Power." I don't know, I wouldn't want it to be understood that they supported the "American" flower power. The German communes have deeper roots that go back to German culture in the 1920s... It's no coincidence that "Siddhartha" by Hermann Hesse (German, written in 1922) was one of the literary cornerstones of the hippie movement worldwide. Even naturism, present in massive doses in the hippie flowerpower peace&love movement, originated in Germany in the early 20th century... the German naturist communes have existed since the post-war period, and Amon Duul are the children of this philosophy, not the American one... all this to say that these people were "beyond" flower power for its own sake, they were a step ahead, in my opinion.... ----- C'mon, can you make me copies of Vive La Trance and Wolf City? Pleaseeeeeeeee I beg you, I beg you, I beg you :) (Betty Davis UNBEATABLE! Great woman! Listen to the pussyfunk of Betty Davis, it really pushes hard, it's still very relevant! Forget about the mediocre ones that are out there... like that b***h Aguilera).

Logic, I'm having a lot of fun instead! Come on, how can you not laugh (Zion!!!). This is my favorite bar! Bye ;) --- Airons, respect! :) (long live discussions, Caz is right, that's the fun part!). --------> And the U2 are dead, long live the U2!

"Kosmo, I have a different experience. I have three or four friends between 40 and 50, one with 7000 vinyl records, another with 4000 CDs, and a loser with 2000 records. They never cared about U2; in those years, they were into Sonic Youth, Husker Du, etc." It feels like reading my story :D Airone, I'm 40, I have over 5000 records and CDs, I had a record shop, etc etc etc.... I listened to all the names you mentioned when you were a teenager, and ALSO U2. I know you can live without U2 just like you can live without Husker Du, (but not without Sonic Youth for me!) .... I was just trying to reflect on the question you asked, but it seems my dialectic isn't getting through to you. It doesn't matter, just be careful, not all 40-year-olds are the same, you know? I have many friends of my age that I tried to influence, but even today they still listen to the Pogues. And so I learned something. That we are not all the same... (really?)
