Tsk tsk... it’s clear you’re a last-minute fan, one of those who jumped on the Sicilian winner's bandwagon only after the Artist won the critics' award at the Lonate Ceppino Festival in '85. My copy is part of that very limited series (and thus the only one with the exact title) discovered by some archaeologists in the tomb of Tutankhamun. I know for sure because my grandfather - very modestly - was the sound technician for Tutankhamun for several years and was mummified in the laundress position inside the pyramid. Just think, it’s a cursed copy: if you try to burn it, you rejuvenate inside (horror!!!) and you suddenly want to listen to Trivium.
Hypnos 69 The Eclectic Measure

Tranqui Bore: in this album, stoner is practically abandoned in favor of a folk-prog soaked in seventies vibes and melancholic melodies (which I don't know if it's to your taste...). In short, pure retro-rock (as it’s been fashionable to call it lately) or mold-rock (as it might be more accurately called), however you want to put it! :)

It's true, I hate best-of albums. Yet you download it anyway, then you listen to it once and trash it so you can come to the review and leave a comment like: "ppffff... yet another commercial operation that disregards the sensitivity of the artist in question. I'm too old to be fooled by these tricks from record labels. Anyone wanting to understand the work of this essential artist would do better to get hold of that masterpiece "Tortured balls eaten by a bear during a picnic in the acoustic landscape" from 1976, which - modestly - I have in aged editions that smell of death."

True! To be suitable for you, she should be at least 67 years old, have released 18 LPs and 16 "best of" albums, have overcome speed addiction at least 5 times, and breathe thanks to an iron lung.

I also have a proposal for you, Paoletto: try taking care of your own business, and you'll see you'll live a hundred years. Kisses!

@Geb: Maurizio Blatto, who evidently has decided to follow in the footsteps of director Sorge. The latter, in the same ranking, described the sound of Roachpowder (a Swedish band reminiscent of the early Monster Magnet, very pompous and with a lot of groove, more like the 90s Corrosion of Conformity): "rude sound post Entombed, thus having a brutal deathcore matrix." Who knows...

Well... to tell the truth, the leading knee group has never been a big hit around here: even the review of Cocaine Rodeo is full of anonymous comments, but there's hardly any talk about the music, so much so that poor vv at one point writes: "Doesn't anyone give a damn about this review? What a drag, I'd like a debate" :DD. Also, for instance, on the Slo Burn album there's a review (by Lexus!:-O) that, if you look at it, is commented on by the usual three cats. Anyway, it's true that the tone-deaf have decreased: it's been ages since we've seen the chupacabra, for example. I think it’s also the genre that has recycled itself so much that it has lost its charm... right?

So you give us the old versions and send them the "updated" ones?!?

On Rumore, however, they placed it at 67th among the 100 most beautiful/influential albums of the third millennium and described it like this (I quote verbatim): "It's the entrance to a secret garden, made mainly of desire and a world populated by bears (?!?), corsets (?!?), and cracking ice." There you go, more or less the magic formula to ensure I'll never listen to an album...

Three comments for a report like this is really a shame. Moreover, with your reviews, you are making me very curious about this author... (of whom, by the way, ignorant as I am, I haven't even read Fontamara) Well done, lig.
