Hi Psaico.
"...but when it comes to music, woe to anyone who complains": what do you mean? Do you have a sort of list of good things from the annus horribilis?
Would you be so kind as to post it?
P.S. like the sweet @[algol], I'm also struggling with French on electric guitars, but the little tasting samples of this are still good.

What? Am I reading this right? ZiOn?
Kill the fat calf, and the skinny one too, the electronic child is back!!!
I'm definitely listening, welcome back to DeB (what are 7 years compared to eternity?)
Dmitri Shostakovich Quartetto n. 15, Op. 144
Voto:
Perhaps the reviewer will remember my repeated requests, in a now distant DeEpoca, for greater DePresence, pushed to the point of almost being a nuisance, a testimony of admiration and respect.

I am therefore pained to express my regret for the outcome of this page, where the mixing of registers seems incongruous to me, resulting in a forced and superfluous juxtaposition.

In short, with a certain astonishment, I find myself compelled to note an almost total agreement with the blond one, @[Eneathedevil].

Regarding the work: many years ago fate granted me the fortuitous encounter, at a stall of trinkets in Barcelona, with a quadruple CD of the Brodsky Quartet, purchased for a few coins. It is all that I have of this man, and it is "a lot".

With unchanged esteem, your small fan, Sir.
Beth Hart Bang Bang Boom Boom

Yes, a partially successful album, in the end. But its half is enough to make a respectable album, driven by a well-chosen single that worked very well, even on our local radios. But its dimension remains the live performance, I believe, and I regret never having seen it...

Gentlemen, you who know how to do it, can you create the mention "CapishDisapproved"?
Caetano Veloso Araca azul
Voto:
That an album from 1972 is a novelty reassures me; after all, I’m also a young lad. Not among Veloso's most convincing works, I'd say between 3 and 4 stars. A small contribution to the "issue" of Tropicalism:

With a bit of delay, I took the walk you suggested, and I enjoyed it. Funny, whenever I happen to listen to this track or others from this album, I always think of Fagen's album...

I am reading "Fatal Moments," it's amazing, I recommend it. I will read this one too, thank you.
Tom Zé The Hips of Tradition

It was a wonderful discovery, that first album for Ĺuaka Bop.
I too had little familiarity with the vast ocean of Brazilian music, and this one, in particular, was so far removed from the stereotype that it left me speechless.
I have the first one, I know it well (I even sold a good number of copies back in the days of the shop), but I no longer have it now that you made me think of it. Who knows what happened to it.
Your proposals and the quality of your service have now reached a level of ordinary excellence.
Brady Corbet The Childhood of a Leader - L'infanzia di un capo
Voto:
You said to do it, and I watched it. As soon as it was finished.
First impressions, then:
certainly ambitious, not all the references that you find are so obvious (for me), strongly marked by the "expressionist" nature of Walker's music, it pushes a didactic yet not trivial rhythm, shot with an appropriate breath and a light that creates a perfect narrative atmosphere, leading to an ending that seems extracted from another film, so explicit and highlighted, perhaps in the anxiety to reify, making it clear, the idea that unfolds throughout the film.
This "need to conclude" struck me as the gravest flaw, which dilutes, in retrospect, all the shareable considerations on meaning that you have well described.
But I enjoyed the quality of everything else, and it is a remarkable remainder.
P.S. I didn't follow the credits, were Sartre and Fowles mentioned there?
