I was referring to the early works of Argento: Deep Red, Suspiria, The Bird with the Crystal Plumage, The Cat o' Nine Tails (well, I can barely remember this one, let's go with the other three). Compared to those, this one seems quite inferior to me.

Beautiful, you have really intrigued me a lot.

I just saw it recently, and I must say that the soundtrack is really quite good; in fact, there’s a track that I’m not sure what it was, strongly percussive, which I found beautiful, but then I forgot to check what it was. As for the movie, I found it really rather ugly, clearly but clearly below the others (I’m referring to the first ones), and if it has less popularity, that seems justified to me...

The album is truly beautiful and a blend of styles that makes it one of the most stylish records I've ever heard, combining the electric jazz of Miles Davis, psychedelia, noise, and electronics, all very nocturnal. "Double Cross" is stunning, and the entire album has an ultramodern sound (I’d say it’s the classic album that conveys the idea of "the future of music," even if that’s a concept to be taken with a grain of salt) and the musicians are top-notch. However, four stars, because post-jazz seems to me sometimes more about elegance than substance. Anyway, a great group deserving a bit of everything (and the drum’n'bass period is on par with the jazz one), and a great label too, Thirsty Ear.

From what little I've heard, the albino seems to me like the alter ego of Rory Gallagher and Stevie Ray Vaughan, and frankly, that doesn't blow my mind. Amazing technique, but also an excessive self-indulgent "verbosity" without much genius. Of course, I admit that it's more of a superficial impression than a true opinion, but perhaps I seek something different in the blues. When the opportunity arises, I’ll give it another chance.

No, don't delve into the unknown; I know the one by Deuter, very particular, and even if it might not have aged perfectly, I don't mind it at all. Strange, because being so melodic, it could have easily disgusted me, instead... I even picked up Aum, although I haven't heard that one yet.

[annoying mode on] so now you tell me where you've ever heard the pan flute in Steve Roach [annoying mode off] but you had already piqued my curiosity some time ago when you mentioned it in a comment, and so I'm already here, eagerly waiting. I'll listen to them soon, good job, you little genius

I’ve had it for a short time, and from my first impressions (which are always misleading), it seems to have little to envy when compared to Y, which is quite a statement. Of the records I’ve heard by Mark Stewart and the projects following the pop group, there isn’t one that isn’t beautiful (I like Tackhead just a little less). I want all his albums and I want them LIKE THIS. Quick question: is "We Are Prostitutes" only available as a single?

Well, to put it plainly... if you hear a piece (let's say instrumental, I’m not talking about the musician in question, since the discussion is interesting precisely because it's more general), that you like and then discover that it has terrifying ideas or, in any case, totally antithetical to yours, or worse, that it's simply being made by a solemn idiot... does this change your opinion about that piece? I don’t really believe in the message anymore; it’s not what I seek. The reality (my reality) is that there are bands of people who say things I consider right, but whose music means nothing to me, and there are bands and artists with, let’s say, controversial ideas who create great art. And this boils down to the fact that for me, music and art in general are first and foremost aesthetic enjoyment, something that makes me feel good, and perhaps in this way disconnected from reality, or rather unbound from the pure message that words or an artist’s ideas might have (words disobey me, was the title of a song). How many progressive singer-songwriters create music that could be defined as absolutely conservative and reactionary? You mentioned Beethoven, what about Celine? Pessoa? Ezra Pound (I can only think of writers right now)? Art cannot simply be an expression of a political belief; I think it should transcend that.

(as for Lou Reed, to quote one of his famous lines, heroin is not a song in favor of drugs, it’s a song about drugs. It may sound like a catchy phrase to some, but for me, there is a difference)
