Yes, originally Periscope was recorded in 1999 in the rehearsal room as a CD-R in only 100 copies. Basically, in May of that year, Felix (the guy who sings in "Seven") left them hanging a couple of weeks before a mini-tour to promote Seven. So Koglek stepped back in to sing. Once the dates were done, they went back to the rehearsal space and started jamming, especially since the bassist had just joined the lineup and needed some practice. The result of those sessions is essentially Periscope in demo form. Then, in 2001, after the release of Ewige, they remixed it and released it in "official" version, reviving Pulse, which was already on Seven, in a more pumped-up version without the chorus.

Here we dangerously brush against the supercazzola. I mean: just throwing in random words and superlatives left and right doesn't make for a great review. Especially if they're used to say a load of nonsense. You talk about innovation for an album that basically recycles the Kyuss sound with almost a 10-year delay. You speak of "redundant and masturbatory effects" (what the hell is a masturbatory effect?!), saying that "Everything is extraordinarily mitigated or, if we want, centered around those cathartic moments," when this is probably the most compact and least psychedelic album by CH (with this lineup). You mention "iconoclastic and deviant strikes," and it's unclear what the hell they are. You say "primordial vocalizations" and it's almost an instrumental album (they even removed the chorus in Pulse), and for 70% of the time Koglek is whispering. "Psychic fragments with dark and indefinable existential outlines" means nothing. The same goes for the entire paragraph from "Stroboscopic lights" to "marjuana." "Omnipresent bass" (and where was it supposed to go?!?), "desecrated screams," "suicidal instrumental dirge"... what the hell are you talking about?!?
Damn it, there were about 4 things to say about this album: it’s a remix of a demo from 1999, so, practically, it’s the first album with this lineup, and the simplicity of the compositions is a direct consequence. Pulse was already present on the "Seven" demo, in which Felix Neuenhoff sang. This is the most straightforward album in their discography: there will be at most twenty riffs throughout the album, there are very few solos, and the sounds are perhaps the beefiest of their career. Having said these two things, you could have added whatever you wanted and the review would have still been sufficient. And instead, you had to throw in "bacchanalian trios" and "psychedelic fragments with existential outlines." You just needed the "parapsychology related to fear suspension of the unconscious" of mariaelenesca fame, and then we could all head to the bar for a drink of grappa.

One of the 2-3 Cronenberg films that I haven't seen. I don't know... it never particularly inspired me. Maybe because in theory I should have/wanted to read the book first, I just wasn't feeling it. Or, who knows! Rece, as usual, very good.

Very beautiful review. Analytical, but also very heartfelt. You have a truly enviable jazz culture. Well done, well done.

I think that's the result of a translation error. Basically, they translated it as if it were: "EL MEDAL ES EL CACATON DE LA MUERTE"!

While browsing on YouTube, I discovered that the group of kids I posted a video of in comment #55 is actually quite famous. Among other things, they even played with Bruce Dickison!!!!!! But, most importantly, in the comments on the video, I found what will be my motto from now on: ARRIBA EL METAL Y MUERTE AL CACATON!!! In other words: metal even gets you through a bad stomach!

Probably your best pitch in the last six months. Which, in your case, means the best pitch in the last 50 reviews. It's a shame about a few little mistakes. I haven’t read the book, but from how you described it, it seems like a mix between "100 coughs before going to the doctor", "My first 40 years", and "The ages of Lùlù"...

I do not intend at all to prove that ours is the best of all possible systems (and the examples you cite demonstrate that it is not). What I contest is your indication of the American system, which is not only light-years away from ours for structural and legal reasons, but in some cases is extremely unfair (let's not forget that America is also the country of Guantanamo and the Patriot Act), as better and more effective. If you had mentioned France or Germany, I would have been agreeable and given you a thumbs-up, but the American one, no! Moreover, with the motivations you have mentioned! It is clear that in Italy there is a problem of certainty of punishment and the length of trials (the causes of which, however, are different from those you indicated), but to fill the gap by giving up the constitutionally guaranteed rights of the accused is pure madness to me. The fact that one envies the American system for throwing away the key, that there is no investigative process, and that investigations are in the hands of the police (the American police, which is actually famous for being among the most fair and respectful of the rule of law in the world, right?!?), truly shocks me. You say: "I have listed and talked about very serious offenses confirmed." I repeat it for I don't know how many times: the problem is precisely the CONFIRMATION, which means putting in jail only those who are truly guilty. This is what prolongs the trials (in addition to all the factors I mentioned earlier). But it is also what ensures that only the guilty end up in prison. And frankly, I believe that this is an essential factor for the "effectiveness" of a system. Otherwise, there is a risk of evaluating a system solely based on how many people it locks up and for how long they are kept there. Now I apologize but 1) I need to work; 2) the connection is going haywire; see you later.

The appeal to binding precedent, I repeat, has very little to do with the timing of the process. Binding precedent can be useful, at most, in the decision-making phase (where, I remind you, it is already being practically applied, albeit with certain limitations), but what elongates the process times are the investigative phase and all the deadlines granted to ensure proper contradiction (along with the staff shortages in the registries, judges/the difficulty of carrying out notifications - plus a widespread laxity of "public employment in an advanced stage," but let’s not get into that). The applicability of binding precedent pertains to the certainty of law (if I do action X, I commit crime Y), not the speed of proceedings, which is a purely procedural matter. Even when using binding precedent, you would still need to conduct an investigation to verify the adherence of the precedent to the specific case, so it would be back to square one.
