live by Tommaso anyway... good to know

:)))))) eeeeehhh, dear fellow countryman, I knew you would get pissed off this time. I really like the pusher (just to clarify, maybe I can save myself from exile in Monte Spada), but you can always send me the fondant and at this point also the gnocca (I’ll behave) not necessarily in this order. But the Camaleonti and the Dik Dik no, once was enough for me. You're a bastard who knows my weak spots. Damn you.

I don’t know, I’m not an expert in using sequencers and various software, as an ignorant person I believe that even cutting and pasting at certain levels (Stoney Street is insane from that point of view) is really difficult. I’ve read interviews with people who have done traditional composition and then switched to cutting and pasting, and they say that doing exactly what you have in your head requires even more effort to find the right samples, cut them well, adjust them, and so on. And then, with those samples, you also have to compose. In terms of know-how on various software (but how much do I know), I think Squarepusher is an unbeatable monster (by the way, is the bass sampled or is it really him?). However, sometimes, and this time I’m going to make you angry, I feel like I’m hearing the Dream Theater of drum & bass, ridiculous, convoluted tracks that are not very "communicative" (what a crappy word, but I couldn’t think of another), like “look how good I am.” This is less progressive, but it's really the atmosphere that I like, even more than Photek, who is close to this in a way.

"Tom Traubert's Blues" is, thirty years later, along with a handful of his other songs, a lesson for anyone wanting to make a tear-jerking song; in this genre, Waits is (was, now he cares about something else) an unparalleled master.

uhm, between this and supermodified, I prefer this one. Supermodified is more complex in terms of sounds and rhythms; it comes closer to pusher. However, I find it less original than this, which I think is unique in its atmosphere, even if the tracks he mentioned, apart from Stoney Street and Defocus, are not among my favorites. For me, Wires and Snakes, or Yasawas, or Easy Muffin are stunning, maybe the more nocturnal tracks. There are drum and bass albums that are more "intricate," like Squarepusher or Spring Heel Jack, but this one is perhaps my favorite.

great review as usual. Being in Sardinia, I take responsibility for the ripping (can you say ripping on television?) of the hair from the cock. Can I?

I'm not trying to be a party pooper... all five? I don't know, I really like Drake, great lyrics, nice music, a lot of atmosphere, but for me none of the three deserve five. A heartfelt review, but so heartfelt that you hardly talk about the album.

Yes, I had already read it, but I just reread it now, and it's very interesting. It’s definitely worth reading (and the allaboutjazz site is a great site as well). $400,000 in debt, and U2 keep making money... :D

Dude, do you know that in '93 or '94 the Mothers came to Iglesias (10 km from home), and I, as a kid listening to Iron Maiden, said in disgust upon seeing the posters "Zappa? Who is this guy? (I don’t know if Franco had already passed away and it was just the Mothers) but why do they never bring serious musicians?" um...

mmm. It has nothing to do with the review, but I completely disagree with the idea that if a movie isn't easily understandable the first time, it's a colossal piece of crap. We were just talking about this. Go tell that to Lynch.
