Yes, yes, anyway you didn't understand a damn thing. Every judgment is legitimate, but to say that they are cold, I would say that's a bit much. After all, you've only heard three tracks and you're already sure of everything. It's like saying: a comment that says more about you than about the album.

above: "that someone (can't) do it," otherwise it doesn't make sense. I also clarify the "language not mine," I think I could appreciate the nuances of English more than those of 1300 Italian, that’s what I meant.

I don't know, the fact that I wouldn't be able to do it like the Divine Comedy doesn't mean that someone else can. Let's be clear, I find it hard to believe there's a Borges among the debaseroti and fundamentally the Divine Comedy doesn’t mean anything to me, or rather it means very little (being a book written in a language that isn't mine and dealing with things and morals that don't belong to me). As for the rest, I still don't get the point. Beethoven (let's say) yes, Bergman and Pasolini yes, and Bridget Jones's Diary no?

@Alessio: why should music and cinema be entertainment while books are considered something superior just because they are books? I'm honestly missing something.

Look Antò, I’m a bit of a novice, I like exploring but actually I know a lot of things only superficially (let’s not get into any punctuation issues, I might end up messing up the game, you know). For example, I just discovered Krantz recently and I thought you could give me some tips on his valid albums, because he’s a fusion guitarist in the vein of Holdsworth (who apparently holds him in high regard) and the likes. I’ve only heard one live performance and it’s all very indulgent (I imagine for many it would just be wankery), but it does sound good. He’s also played on a Donald Fagen album, by the way, who has always been quite good at choosing his collaborators in that realm. I’ll drop a link in case you’re interested:

I just thought that more than a vague shadow exists in strange feelin' on happy sad, which owes more than something to so what. @Antonio: it has nothing to do with it, but do you know wayne krantz?

mmm, here it's more difficult :) I can hear something in the funk of Monterey, but in the rest of the album, no. I know he was one of the musicians I looked up to the most at that time because I read about it, and maybe the inclusion of the trumpet in the lineup is due to that, but in the sounds, it's definitely more nuanced.

I didn't quite understand the question. If you're asking which pieces Starsailor references, none—there's no citation. If, however, you're asking which works of Ligeti it draws from, I think quite a bit (not that I'm an expert), Ligeti is known for his work with clusters, groups of notes for semitones. Like Volumina for example, in the Requiem, in Lux Aeterna. Simply put, you take the soundtrack of 2001 and then listen to the title track of Starsailor; you immediately notice the similarities.
