The Rolling Stones A Bigger Bang

Great Zarathustra, you speak well of my reviews elsewhere, and this is very much appreciated. The comparison with pieces has contingent historical reasons. Today I don't know if I would do it again (and if so, if I would do it the same way).

Ligabue Fuori come va?

It's quite clear that tastes are tastes...: just think that I save everything from this album except "eri bellissima" and "voglio volere," which I find to be youthful platitudes (like the highly praised album "buon compleanno Elvis," one of the most pandering records in history). Here we should understand to which category one belongs: to those who hate Liga a priori? to those who love him a priori? or to those who love a particular period...?

thanks to those who consider me cream. to the almost ex-debaseriano, I’m sorry my message seemed to you like just an over-the-top declaration of love without critical sense, because I truly did everything so it wouldn't be that way. then, a curiosity: where do you read that the latest VM are awful...? because I read quite the opposite.... anyway, what I wanted to say, in super super super summary, is that there are artists and non-artists and that VM is among the former. best regards

Edoardo Bennato E' arrivato un bastimento

I'll tell you more...: I still save some sound-compositional experimentation from the later Kaiwanna. In my opinion, the good (late) Edo dies with the subsequent Abbi Dubbi, only to have a brief and semi-clandestine rebirth with Sarnataro Blues... Today, I don't know if it’s more pitiable or infuriating.

Well done, Renè: that's the answer I wanted. Put this way, my judgment on your review is, appropriately, elevated as well. Speaking of '78...: Vasco, Daniele Silvestri, Dire Straits, U2, Simple Minds all made their debut, and Dalla and De Gregori were just getting started with Banana Republic. In short...great years...

yes...when Eli writes and Cate produces, they are under a beautiful stork nest, full of lovely children, delighted by the continuous passage of reindeer and Santa Claus...

I’m not joking and I’m not improvising: the answers/escape intrigue me quite a bit. Your debut was incredibly happy, in the sense of framing the historical moment with a joyful escape conclusion. What I find unacceptable, musically, is that one should run away from Battisti and the Police. Calderone? All the same...? That was the clarification I wanted. Possible answers: yes: I meant exactly that, Lucio and the Police make me sick (obviously impeccable even if unacceptable to me); no: I was just rambling, I’m having fun with it (another possible answer, plus I have a certain passion for the absurd). Do whatever you want, even vaacagare is fine. Kiss
For symbad: you can use the seminar (maybe I’ll ask for the rights, but maybe not...)

Van Morrison Days Like This

25 jul 06

Voto:

I think that before opting for the review of Getz, I was determined to review this album... well, in my opinion, you’re too harsh. Some works that are more or less "recent," and I think of "days like this" and especially "the healing game," are absolutely not inferior to the best works (among which are "no guru..." and certainly "hymn to the silence"). At least... in my opinion. Of course, if we also consider an album like "magic time," it may be predictable and everything you want, but it's better than anything an Alex Britti could ever imagine in his whole life... (I know it’s a silly comparison, but it stems from the fact that VM is not in the charts, while that fool Britti is...).

To be precise, you picky individual, this depends on the publication date, since Lennie Tristano, a splendid artist, was alive until November '78. I feel compelled to ask for clarification: if Evans is the antidote to the ugliness of the world, I wholeheartedly agree, but if he is also the antidote to the Police, I find myself obliged to subject you to a seminar on the ins and outs. Clarify...
