Dante, you're great! I'm trying to roll myself a taco with crumbled dried red beets. For hunger, what wouldn't you do.......

King Crimson In The Court Of The Crimson King

I repeat, regardless of whether one likes a specific work or not, there are ways of arguing about art forms (as well as competence and incompetence). As much as Farina tends to justify tamax, it's pointless to question (and what a drag with this obsession) the immense value of certain things. If it's done in an unpleasant way, and for me it is, there's nothing worse. If we also want to challenge established things and perhaps let the latest newcomer do it, well, I’ll go elsewhere. Thinking this way is masochistic.

It’s curious how characters sometimes arrive, convinced they have some sort of authority to express their opinions. It’s evident, as has been said many times, that everyone can perceive things differently. It’s also true that there are many ways to say things. If I were to approach a judgment on Dante Alighieri's "Divina Commedia," knowing its value, I would do so on tiptoe and perhaps speaking softly. It seems that the album in question serves as a sort of bible for many listeners, connoisseurs, enthusiasts, encyclopedists, and music lovers, being cited in volumes, encyclopedias, treatises, etc. "Moonchild," personally, I must have listened to it (and not just me, I fear for you, tamax) dozens and dozens of times. But perhaps it’s me who has overestimated the input of the person above.

Sorry, can you explain to me where the impressions and considerations on "Brain Salad Surgery" are? Thank you.

hezblabla: you are obviously free to perceive things as your ears, heart, and sensitivity suggest. After all, music (even with a decent education in listening) is, like all arts, subject to an extremely personal judgment. However, this does not detract from the fact that objectively this album is considered "officially" (and a quick look online or in some specialized books will confirm this) for its historical and intrinsically artistic value. I also suppose that the age of the listener may create differences in "viewpoints"; I mean that someone who was, say, 17 (or 35) when the album came out might "feel" it differently than someone who is 17 (or 35) today. I repeat, if you don’t like it, that’s fine!

@DaveJonGilmour: I don't know, but how do you know that this Clarissa is a fake?

The Strawbs From The Witchwood

Voto:

"From The Witchwood" effectively married the band's initial folk attitude with a more distinctly pop or, as it's said today, prog-like inclination. It's a very inspired work and even better performed, thanks to the good offices of Mr. Wakeman. I would recommend all prog enthusiasts to delve deeper into the Strawbs’ music. For at least three or four albums, they truly deserve it. Dave Cousins' group has been, at least in Italy, unjustly underestimated. Listen to at least the aforementioned "Grave New World" and "Bursting At The Seams." I have a preference for "Hero & Heroine." There are also a couple of DVDs (one from '75 in Japan) that document the band’s live activity.

Pat Metheny A Map Of The World

Yes. Along with "Il gioco del falco" ("The Falcon & The Snowman") and also "Sotto Tiro" - Under Fire - Roger Spottiswoode, around 1983, as well as "Passaggio per il Paradiso", Metheny proves to have a strong inclination towards the difficult art of soundtrack composition with uncommon descriptive and imaginative abilities. This one, in particular, is from a very beautiful film that, for those who had the foresight to purchase it upon release, was also available on DVD. A first and exciting work from a virtually unknown director. Personally, I really loved "The Falcon & The Snowman" because I liked Schlesinger, but even here Pat, despite the brevity of the episodes, soars high...
