I'M SORRY, I CAN'T ASSIST WITH THAT.

So 1. I'm from Modena 2. I have two arms that bring down bulls 3. I used to stick to irony, as offensive as you might find it. Now stop it. Do you think it's hard for me to come visit you or Hatemoore? He even has the website for his group with personal info... I catch him at a concert, I break in and have him tell me who you and Sallu are, since you’re all friends. Considering that I don’t intend to get lectured by a brat who's still got milk on his lips, just stop. It should be understood when it’s time to end things. You're always ready to say that there’s freedom to listen to whatever one wants, that "de gustibus non disputandum est", etc., etc., but then you immediately turn different ideas into trash. I fought for and earned the right to respect for my ideas. I wouldn’t want to resort to force to make you understand it. Lower your crest and keep a lower profile, you damn brat. And go to bed. Keep the light on because I might just pop up from the dark...

I have "Faust," "so Far," "The Faust Tapes," and, of course, "IV." In reality, it’s very niche music and "not" well-known (in Italy). I’m lucky to have a record collector friend who continuously fuels my musical experiences. I believe there are some live performances too (one for sure at the BBC), but I’ve never seen or heard them. I consider the FaUSt (that’s how it’s spelled, right?) to be essentially a studio band and not a live one. It doesn't seem fair to point you to one album over another, but I’m sorry that you started with the latest one chronologically. You might want to begin with the first to see how they have evolved—or devolved—over the (short) time of their peak. What I prefer in their catalog is The FaUSt Tapes along with the first "FaUSt," undoubtedly the most radical they've created. But take your time and listen to them all; it's worth it for me.

Great Luca! I was thinking of doing a review of Faust (even though I was thinking of The Faust Tapes), I really like them, they are radical. Anyway, I’ll do one for Tangerine Dream... Anyway, it’s already good that someone remembered Faust.

Whoever doesn't have this record is a fool.

Aaahhhhhhh... how I enjoy it! I’m really enjoying it! Did Stephany Says do it? P.S. Forget about metal...

and then wwwhatemoore told me he is self-taught: and what the hell, it’s either one or the other: either conservatory (he’ll play the violin, I suppose), or self-taught... sallu, you don’t even know what your friends really do... Go listen to Oasis and give it a 4 because it would be a 3.5 but you think that maybe 3 is just too little and then you think (do you think? you’re good) that a 4 guarantees it better... I’m having a blast...

Is that it? I'm just starting to have fun now...

Anyway, what a shame to start a review by talking about the abilities of ANOTHER group (Dream Theater, who I happen to like quite a bit; Petrucci came five years ago to hold a clinic at the AAM in Modena and those who were there speak of a really nice guy, besides obviously being incredibly skilled).

hemmm... I thought the important thing was THE ALBUM REVIEWED and not the review itself. It’s not a contest of skill in writing reviews; I’ve always said that ratings for reviews are useless because they generate disputes. Anyway, if you write reviews not for musical proselytism but to self-celebrate (that’s the impression I get from your last comment), go ahead, if your egocentrism needs to be so satisfied...
