Rewatched it a little while ago. Whether intentionally or not, "commercially" he got it all wrong by making a film about the "hard life and problems of a good cop" where 90% of the movie consists of mafia scenes emphasizing their "wrong" side. In the end, those watching expect a mafia film and feel disappointed. If he had at least included some music, it would have sold at least double. It's mostly a problem for the audience; he called it "Donnie Brasco," but everyone - myself included, before rewatching it - is convinced they're watching Scorsese's take on "Lefty Ruggero"... and they end up disappointed. As a cop film, it might be the best I've seen. However, as a crime film, it really sucks; there’s - deliberately - no rhythm whatsoever. Still, it is a cop film, so maximum rating.

The best Italian novel of the last 20 years? ...30?

But the Gameboy actually came out at the end of '89, practically in the '90s.

The two tracks on YouTube - aside from the vocal style of the guest singer - are quite good. The bass and drums have a wonderful sound, it's a shame about the guitar being much quieter, though better a quieter guitar than the usual overpowering one that drowns everything out. At first listen, they reminded me of Taras Bul'ba (which are fantastic, always from Milan).

Like Bartle and Nes, all the same. One who I found to be technically very, very Lovecraftian is Giuseppe Genna, especially in his "Ishmael" (in fact, you either love him or, well, nothing).

I’m a big fan of Faust, but Andy Wilson doesn't tell me a damn thing and I don't feel like Googling. Anyway, anyone who created a CD with Algorithm deserves a great Christmas and a happy New Year.

Great film, the only "cartoon" I've gladly watched (even though it could have done without some truly cartoonish shootouts). Surely, when it first came out, it must have had much more impact; by now, dismantling the "war on drugs" has almost become a cliché. Stunning soundtrack, even better than Spike Lee's (and I believe it, Ferrara is white).

<< 1991 [...] in the midst of the Gulf War. >> I will never understand the need for these random historical inserts. Stammerda came out in the summer; unfortunately, I know it by heart because my cousins made me listen to it all July and all August, and they went to buy it a couple of days after its release. And in the summer of 1991, the """""""war""""" in the Gulf was already forgotten: it lasted two damn weeks, with the "full" part being the first two days and the two days of extermination of the retreating army. <<"In this world of thieves," where the political and social climate we were heading towards was already foreseen, >> Oh well, Venditti hoped for that. Because in the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s, nobody knew they were stealing, and no one said anything. No one, ever. "Thieving politicians" was never said by anyone, no one, before 1992. << cassette tape, another great deceased of musical technology, and for which, just like for Long Playing records, a return is hoped for. >> Besides the fact that in Italian "return" implies that something has gone away, and vinyl has NEVER gone away... who is wishing for the return of that crap, the cassettes? Who? GIVE US THE NAMES OF THIS INFAMOUS!

<< stunning tracks like "Try It Out" or "Fuck That"... with their complex rhythms and virtuosic synths! >> I wanted to believe it and I listened to them. Try It Out is an incredible piece of crap, the main part of Fuck That, if given to the right person, could even become a danceable track, but as it is, it’s pretty much garbage. But beyond whether it’s garbage or not... complex rhythms and virtuosic synths? What have you been listening to, the Game Boy?
