Sorry, He, what compositions would "Frame by Frame" and "Thela Hun Ginjeet" be similar to (but inferior)? And then, just to understand, keeping in mind that tastes are subjective, what exactly do you not like about "Sheltering Sky," just out of curiosity? Do you know "Devil's Triangle," "Industry," "The Talking Drum," "Starless"? If so, what do you think?

Certo! Inviami il testo che desideri tradurre e procederò con la traduzione.

Tollani is right. An epoch-making album. One of those that is passed down (and it really seems to be the case) from father to son. I listened to the first one by Emerson Lake & Palmer and snubbed it because it was music too "simple," with those little guitars and the choral voices. I was just a kid. Then, as a "youngster," I played (with my country trio) carry on, helpless, almost cut my hair, judy blue eyes, helplessly hoping and I felt the joy inside. The same joy that is still experienced listening to this sublime thing. One little note, which can be forgiven: to be precise, Neil Young didn't seem to be at Woodstock yet..... No Young, no Quartet! :)

Well done to Miki once again. He indeed hit the "problem." After all, even the Zep were aware and have reiterated it multiple times that the material left a bit to be desired. There’s a clear absence of the impact sensation that the Zep knew how to unleash live. The latest double DVD, as Miki points out (and Earl's Court is ONLY a fragment), testifies to this very well. Even "How The West Was Won" makes this clear, as someone has pointed out. BUT at the time, in '76, this was present. I was a bit disappointed, but I consoled myself by going to the cinema to see the film, which instead thrilled me (not for the inserts but for the show). I just conclude by slightly dissenting on the judgment, but Miki is perfectly entitled to his opinion about "Dazed & Confused," which I consider one of Page's cornerstones (the one from the Zep...). I don't remember hearing versions of this track that were anything less than overwhelming... Anyway, another round of applause for Miki. :)

damn the grades (I always forget.....)

Yes, Symbad, great album. I remember it well and around that time (1 or 2 years before) I also saw Khan with Zawinul in a rearranged live version of Weather Update. When Zawinul kicked off a version of "In A Silent Way," Khan looked entranced, in ecstasy (and so was I). I really liked this GRP a lot. There’s that devil of Anthony Jackson who I later discovered also with DiMeola, with Steve Gadd, and even with Petrucciani (elegance and discretion). Weckl is as measured as ever (I usually couldn't stand him with the Elektric Band), and that playful Badrena spices things up nicely. Beautiful suspended atmospheres, great sounds, nice themes, and wonderful originality at a time when Metheny and Scofield were dominating the scene (even now?). Also worth listening to is "Eyewitness," I believe, released a couple of years earlier. And then there's also "Local Color" with Rob Mounsey. For the "female encounter," however, I would have a preference for the so-called "white" album of the beautiful Metheny (the one with "San Lorenzo," just to be clear...).

For Pippo: to be completely honest, I don't think I've fully grasped where you intend to go with Nietzsche and arguments about language, meaning, semiology, and the "bullshit" (to quote you) that I spent 2 minutes reading. This is Debaser "music reviews written by those who want to," not a magazine for considerations and reflections on Kant, Heidegger, or DesCartes. Just to bring everything back to a "normal" dimension. If you were to ask me what I mean by "normal," believe me, I won't accept the debate, because this is Debaser and I, in this case, have blinders on. That's it. Panurge, I understand you, sorry for the unnecessary digressions :)

I would have almost all the numbers of "dolce remy," instead. How much can I ask for?.......... :) Come on, guys, I'm just kidding...!

Oh, it wasn't a provocation at all! I already knew a little about the hero's deeds. Friends had told me about them in more than positive terms. I was just looking for other perspectives! Please, show me other signs, maybe! I'm reeeaaally curious! :)

Dear Pippo, despite the apparent absurdity of the assumptions and the commendable attempt at translation for potential use, I will tell you that one day I told my wife, when we were engaged, that my greatest aspiration in our relationship would be to reach a point where it would no longer be necessary to use words to communicate. She, aware of the "distant" meaning, agreed. We are doing well, believe me, and not because there are no more things to say to each other; on the contrary. For the rest, I continue to find the question idle, hateful, and irritating. I repeat, it’s time stolen from listening to a "prog" composition, or any "activity" useful for enriching culture, taste, or intelligence. It’s better to talk about something else than to discuss NOTHING.
