Pink Floyd A Momentary Lapse Of Reason

bravo voiceface: to label it as garbage means having a mind clouded by fog... It's easy to say that Wish or Wall are masterpieces... but to us Waters fans like me, I ask: what about Final Cut...?

Mauro Pagani 2004 Creuza De Ma

When I heard that this album was coming out, I was horrified. Then I heard Pagani talk about it, and I realized that it was a "kneeled" work, that is, created with the appropriate degree of "religiosity," not to mention by the author of all the music, not just some random guy (like Morgan) who comes along and puffs himself up because the trick turned out well today... Pagani has accomplished here that alternative of arrangements he would have liked to create with Faber, who, as is well known, was a bit rigid when it came to live arrangements (that is, excluding PFM, possibly identical to the album). Here it is: an incredibly interesting philological work, and executed brilliantly. Trust me: I wouldn't say it, given the devotion I feel for the Maestro...

Lucio Battisti La batteria, il contrabbasso, eccetera

I also think that Un Uomo Che Ti Ama is one of the best songs (if not the best). Do you know (and if so, what do you think about) the version (previous: January '76) by Lauzi, arranged and partially played by Lucio? For me, it is an absolute masterpiece and definitely not a "duplicate." Useless: LB was a great artist.

surely the best Guccio from Madame Bovary to date

Massimo Bubola Segreti Trasparenti

24 aug 05

Voto:

Bubola makes beautiful records that are a cross between his authorial excellence and his absolute mediocrity as an interpreter (lacking personality and with a frankly unpresentable voice). This album is perhaps more captivating than the others, but - my God!!! - La Sposa Del Diavolo is a clone of Nick Cave!!! Which makes everything very, very relative (Italians, with very rare exceptions, have an unrestrained tendency to take on the guise of the colonized...).

Joe Jackson Live 1980 - 1986

A beautiful album by a truly great artist, a must-have summation of the FIRST JJ. Clearly, one should guide those who are unfamiliar with him to his later works, some of which are genuinely excellent. Moreover, this album broke his previous resistance (at the time) to live recordings, which he has long surpassed, having released three in just a few years (each one more beautiful than the last). To put it in Ronnie Wood's words, not for beginners.

Antonello Venditti Che fantastica storia è la vita

I agree on everything and almost with everyone (like Venditti...), but I would like to say a few words about Venditti in the eighties and especially in the nineties: worse than this album, definitely, except for Cuore, which had a few small gems. Listen to it again (benvenuti in paradiso ???!!! yeah... we'll give you the benefit of the doubt because of your age...) and tell me.

Well done. Everything is correct. Nothing to add, Your Honor.

Lucio Battisti La batteria, il contrabbasso, eccetera

Great album, undoubtedly. One of the best of the Mogol era. A little note to remember a great: the rhythmic guitar on "Ancora Tu" was by the wonderful Ivan Graziani, then at Numero 1. Another note, for color: after the photo, Lucio took off and nearly crashed... Then, it's true, a dream rhythm section.

Dear young Sampyr, what a beautiful life in your words. I recommend, therefore, also because you seem to understand literature, and you live some of the same discomforts as I do (except I experienced them in the eighties...), listen to and re-listen to all the bianconi by Lucio, even if unfortunately you can no longer do so as they come out..., and PUT AWAY, preferably in the toilet, pulling the cord, everything that that incapable of youngsters has conceived in his miserable existence as a musician (as a man he has the dignity that others have, but a prophet of such banality, moreover successful, should be boycotted with all our strength!). Regards.
