<<< Well, I still haven't listened to it. >>> :D ...I'm too clairvoyant, oh! <<< I'm not really convinced that it's only the majors that got it in the ass, I think the idea is more subtle... >>> Yes, from a purely monetary point of view, I see it differently too; for me, it's a spot-on commercial move in terms of profit. 1) The album would have circulated anyway; they’re making little money from the offers, but little is better than nothing. 2) Monster publicity, truly monstrous... and above all, it makes a good impression with the fans. With profits. <<< (the one at 160kbps it's up on you, the other one at a fixed price) >>> This would have been a choice that favored them in terms of current profits, but it would have diminished the good impression (the subtle commercial move would have been more noticeable), and it would have reduced the desire to purchase the physical album from those who buy it at 320kbps. Because after all, the goal is always the same: to sell the CD. (What an incredible discovery I've made, right?)

Here, good, yes, review the new ones. I've been trying to promote this record for a year but I still hadn't found anyone (that I know, eh) who had heard it. And Buffalo, yes, beautiful Buffalo.

<< Radiohead at 160 Kbps! >> They're at 160, but they sound like a well-made mp3 from a Pinnacle or Mac program. I BELIEVE (credo) they didn't take a CD and rip it, but compressed it to mp3 directly from the recordings. Knowing you, maybe you haven't even listened to it waiting to have it with good sound. Well, the good sound is there. At least, they're the best 160k mp3s I've ever heard. /// All these reviews one after another are so sad, really so sad, so sad...

But what about the new ones, doesn't anyone hear them? Live Buffalo, for example, damn, the stuck frog has been remastered (or maybe recorded from scratch) well. It's even comparable to "The Best Band You Never Heard In Your Life" (what a fitting title), and that's saying something. Imaginary Diseases from last year is still a must-have album. Of course, out of 10-12 posthumous releases per decade, more than half are useless, but there are some gems. They've also remastered the albums from the early era in a box set, with a few rarities. I certainly won't spend 70 euros on things I already own, but I'll give it a listen sooner or later. Great review; I won’t say anything about the album because I've written too many essays on Zappa already :)

Finally, a movie review that you can watch without dozing off. But is your nickname taken from - the question is not WHEN he's gonna stop, but WHO is gonna stop him -? Another film you can watch without sleeping on it, and they even sampled the Primal Scream.

Everything about the album has already been said in the other review. Here you are, the little show. Dance, sing, bounce... make us laugh. Only you can do it so well.

Look, the whole "masterpiece" and "must-have" speech is something you came up with on your own. For me, it’s not a masterpiece, nor is it a must-have. I’ve never said anything like that. As for the rating, it doesn’t count for much; if I like it, I give it a 5, if I don’t, I give it a 1. And the fact that you, a notorious critic and punisher of Rap-oriented albums like Doo Bop, didn’t tear this record down to zero means it’s really good. Just like I said. And you even bought it and sold it. The only thing you succeeded in doing is making me read something written by you, and it’s been since your first 3-4 reviews that I haven't had that happen. But how much did this cost you? An 8? A wake-up at 5 in the morning? A couple of hours to write the review, gathering news, reworking it, and rewriting it? What a bargain, indeed. What a great deal-maker you are.

I was fortunate enough to discover this just before the release of the second - The Coast Explodes - which is nothing but the "sequel" seen more or less as a concept album. When listened to one after the other (I only managed to have all the time I needed once), they are truly fabulous. The transition from one album to the next is hardly noticeable, yet you realize that the sound is more refined and they have "hit the target better." If they keep it up, in a couple of years and "episodes" on the adventures of the Dragon, they might coin "Prog Stoner" :D /// You are very good.

"A weekend in Moscow is not a waste of time." Yes, compared to a weekend in better places. But then, I have to come to Moscow to be called an idiot? Is this the new frontier of extreme travel? After the rallies in the Sahara, after the Siberian excursions... "trip to Moscow with insults." No Alpitour? Ouch ouch ouch...
