However, by reevaluating, you stretch it a bit, with the vote, what do you think? A 4 is more than fine, I believe. I really like the review; it’s true that 2 years, or anyway a bit of distance, help to "look at" the object better.

Ah, the average user... When you meet them, give them my regards. They might be a bit scattered in their eclecticism, but they know their stuff. I pretty much agree with Workhorse, although the direction Basement took was rather disappointing... And thinking about it, I actually wouldn't have preferred an album composed entirely like Mozart's House. I'm giving it a 3, come on.

And anyway, this thing about spaces BEFORE commas needs to be explained to us, you and the other acolytes of the sect. It's unsettling. Just like the granite monolith of the text: a space, a line break, a bit of breathing room in these poor pages would be human gestures.

I didn't know Capra Vaccina was still around. Of course, what you're describing is the least suitable environment one can imagine for a live performance of his music (by the way, since this is a report of a live event, it might be better to indicate the location in the title; I only found out in the last lines that it was Rome). In Vaccina's case, I can understand that, probably, in exchange for the "visibility" (I apologize for using such a disgusting term) guaranteed by the event, he agreed to overlook the inappropriateness of the venue. Basinski certainly doesn't need that, so I understand his presence less (I assume he also enjoys the non-stinking scent of "grain"). But aside from these considerations, could you kindly say something about Vaccina's music, based on what you heard? What was the trio composed of, which instruments were on stage? Thank you. - P.S. I believe "audience" should be used in the feminine, hence "...un'audience fedelmente zitta".

This one by Il Freddo had slipped my mind; he doesn’t write much about music, but he picks good stuff. And he manages to start a review of Medicine Show by quoting Rino Tommasi... formidable. I believe this vinyl has also disappeared, like many others, due to an unfortunate loan, but I hold onto the memory of repeated listens and a murky taste of excellent medicine. - P.S. @Kism: is it just a coincidence or do you have blood ties with Buzzin'? I see that, like him, you practice the peculiar habit of putting spaces BEFORE commas; if you’re not related, are you perhaps affiliated with the same cult? And what arcane purpose do you aim for?

The title of the painting is "Burzum."

I haven't listened to it yet, even though I've had it for a while. It would be really strange to trace similarities with Rice, but anything is possible. I'll let you know once I give it a listen. It seems like you’re not familiar with his previous albums; I recommend you start with "Drinking Songs" from 2005. After the "trilogy" of songs, he took a different direction, first with the bare "The Broken Man" and then with the more "sunny" and relaxed album from 2013, "Only Myocardial...". What you describe seems like a sort of summary of his journey. At this point, I need to find the time to listen to it properly. Bye.

No, thanks east of eden80, I prefer to sleep. You stay awake, if you can.
