Kraftwerk Radioactivity

Exactly, qzè, but in my opinion, if they were indeed acting in good faith (as you say and I myself confirm), why this puppet show in "The Mix"? They could have let it go. Which, to be fair, in the end is even better, because the mixed version is absolutely amazing. Let’s say that, in this case too, they somewhat rode the wave by condemning, when necessary, the radioactive era. There's also another point to make: with a greater cultural depth, KRFTWRK could have produced a better work than this album; I'm referring to the lyrics, which are sparse and filled with those little schoolyard facts about Ohm, energies, and waves. In the end, that's what they needed, but with hindsight, in my opinion, a bit more substance wouldn't have hurt.

...exactly, Al Biruni! The expression has been borrowed by Battiato to outline his discomfort with contemporary civilization. Yes, the Shadow of Light is good, but in my opinion, Battiato's best work is not the mystical one: there I see him too selfishly turned inwards, closed in his elitist mystical bubble; take "Haiku" from Caffè de la Paix: it is both one of Franco's most beautiful and most annoying pieces, in my view.

Of course! The thing is, you talk about great records even in this case. It's just that there's an abyss. But that of yours is all a facade: your admiration for pop is the consolation prize you give to your communist friends who would beat you to death if they knew you don't like Articolo 31. Yet, in your untouchable all-star lineup, you include Sun Ra, Ayler, and the other outcasts of history. Come on. Even though, in my opinion, in the end, you are just like your communist friends: you've listened to Schulze half a time, while in the car you play Kaoma and SNAP.

Oh, but there’s really a reality! Forget about that bag of frozen ProntoMare for nostalgic snackers!

Sure, you have other little rubbish in the yard: Ligeti, the same first Schulze, come on. Indeed, you have nothing against pop. It's no coincidence that you like this cheerful little meatball, but not the dreamy rock of Dark Side. Eh. The question of song duration isn't decisive, but it's obvious that the happy song form has found its canonical mindset in the piece that lasts just a few minutes, unlike the beloved long trip. Come on, I know you understand me and you agree.

Yes, yes, let's exaggerate! Pocahontas, excuse me, this guy is getting my adrenaline pumping. He listens to the dripping of the pipes in the house and says it's music. I need to defend myself for a moment.

For the record: Faust IV is better for me than Faust I. This doesn’t mean it’s an exact science, but almost. I give a 6.5 to this one, and a 9 to Dark Side.
