Of course not! I always follow the guidelines: I've never reviewed an album that's already out, I've only exceeded the word count once out of 70 reviews, I've never provided a descriptive commentary on the tracks to praise, only a couple of times out of 70 to tear them apart. Anyway, in January I've already written two, as per my usual average, two a month.

Aside from "Hellcore," which is really beautiful, quite outside the usual norms of the group and ultimately an excellent mix of various stoner sounds, the rest is more or less a reworking of old stuff. The effect is more or less unsuccessful; they wanted to try the psych-post-rock path with Astrodronaut, Hypnotized & Lucifer Songs, but it really didn't turn out well in my opinion, while the rest of the tracks are pure standard ufomammut, certainly included to "cut" a bit the shift in sound. If the "new" (new for them, eh) stuff had turned out well, I would have appreciated it, but it didn't. The old stuff is nice, but not as nice as that from the other albums (always excepting Hellcore). All in all, it's an excellent album if you don't already have the first two at home; if you do, you might just leave it on the shelf... the record. But they’re clever, and they've included the videos, so in the end, it still has to be bought. An excellent transition album made with one less person, but still a transition album. The only one who gets top marks is Vitalini, the coolest drummer in the Italian scene, a man with a reason.

(...) And not only the sole ones, there are also The Deep with their "Psychedelic Moods" from '66, which is indeed a half-hour delirium under heavy drug influence, and let’s be honest, nowadays it also comes off as a bit of a mess (in the sense that taking away the historical value, its beauty shrinks considerably), but the fact remains that it is also a launching pad for what the Germans would do LATER, and The Deep were from Philadelphia, USA. Besides the fact that Schulze drew heavily from Ligeti, who was indeed Romanian but worked in the USA. Defining where it all started is practically impossible, but it seems to me that at the starting point, Germany has little to do with it. Nevertheless, it must always be emphasized that during the development phase, it was the absolute queen.

The "problem" is that all the things read: there’s no official audio testimony. In fact, I was asking you if you had anything, because in these last 10 years of the internet, bootlegs and never-before-released stuff have been coming out, some of which is really tasty. During my German fixation period, the most "ancient" point I managed to find are the White Noise reviewed by Kosmogabri, and some things by Czukay. There are some unreleased tracks circulating from the very early formation of Tangerine, to clarify: the formation that never recorded an album, the one from 67 (their biography says 67, not 66 :D) to 69; but these are things (as you say too, I’m not contesting but agreeing) quite different from what they later became with Electronic Meditation. Meanwhile, without even reaching Sàccessful, already in Interstellar Overdrive (by the way, on the new mtv, the one with the X, there’s a live performance from ’67 that is S T U P E N D O) you can hear some terrifying electronic insights. Of course, theirs was just a first step; the Germans took two thousand steps, that’s for sure. It’s not that Pink Floyd created electronic music, they just gave one of the first boosts. (...)

I also really like the Tangerine, mauromauro. The fact that they drew inspiration from the Floyd isn't a downside, but just good taste. If Copernico could enlighten us on what he means when he says that everything is crazy, and where he got this version of the first TD that was released two years before the recording, maybe I would reconsider. But wasn't it Patrizio Fariselli who recorded it before joining Area? I mean, lately, with records coming out two years before they're recorded and founders not appearing on the first album, it's all quite confusing. What times...

Karn-Evil 9 is the antichrist, a human duration would diminish his demonic powers. Perhaps the most beautiful, but not in EL&P I can never come up with an internal ranking. Surely it's the one I like Emerson the most (which doesn’t count for ranking purposes, but everything contributes).

For "besselem besselem," on Patrizio's site there should be an explanation of the text and the "why" they included it; I read something about it, but now I only have vague memories. I can tell you for sure that in the booklet, there's a text that looks handwritten (but with a white pen on a black background), it's in Arabic, and signed Rafia Rashed. And now that you've made me bring it up, I have to listen to it :)
