The review, just to change things up, flows down the gullet like a big glass of water after a day spent digging in the garden. As for the film, I’m not sure: I rewatched it a few years ago and found it aged poorly, with the usual overly stark distinction between good/evil - good guys/bad guys that Stone is known for, and the happy ending that tastes a bit too much like honey, sugar, and syrup. Let’s just say that the years of yuppie culture, the Milano da bere era, were part of my childhood, and even then they seemed so fake and polished, so "wobbly" that they made me laugh. I don't know.

@Blech: yes! I really overdid it with kiwi for a week, but in the end, I made it! And I even found the time to write this review! @Ramona: to tell the truth, I've already used that in another review and I was worried someone would notice... I can already feel that the desolate banjo will be the instrument of my vacations and yours... come on, come on!! :))

It had been since '86 that the Reverend hadn't been benevolent towards a thrash record... a listen is a must! :)

This is a great album in itself: technically we are at a good level, there are plenty of ideas, they have attitude... and yet it has never fully captured me. I think it's mostly a matter of sounds (a bit too "modern") or maybe the prog vein is a bit too "showy," I don't know. Let's say that in the "revival" scene, I prefer those who dive in headfirst like they did in the seventies. Great review.

Here it is, punctual as a shit after the coffee+ cigarette combo, the provocative comment from the Punisher. So now we will all flock en masse to remind him of how much pseudo-literary nonsense he’s handed us in recent months (among which, let’s not forget: "Manual for Wiping Your Ass Without Hands", "Biking Without a Saddle for Dummies", and "How to Marry a Fat Old Lady and Screw Her Disability Pension"), the visits and comments on this page (a bit lackluster...) will increase, and finally, his day will have a purpose... Please: get a life!

@ Dottò: hi dear. To be honest, the genre has kind of bored me a bit... this nonetheless gave me chills because it's really like listening to a bootleg of 35007 from the period of Into The Void We Travelled. It's a good album, some passages are exemplary, there are effective crescendos, but really - if we want to be completely objective - there’s a (good) bit of style over substance and technically/sound-wise we’re a couple of planets behind. But for a nostalgic like me, this stuff is pure manna. As for other releases: as I was saying to Psycho the day before yesterday, the one by Samsara Blues Experiment seems like a good album upon first listens, but the formula is now well-trodden. Stuff that if you already have, I don’t know, the Live by Earthless and Blood Moon Riders by La Otracina (the first that come to mind, eh?!), you might not care too much for. Then again, maybe it grows with more listens, I don’t know... It’s just that Psycho has gotten me hooked on psycho folk and now if there’s no little acoustic guitar somewhere, it doesn’t feel as good!

@Weseven: "Invasion" is also on their Myspace. Honestly, I'm puzzled: you release a debut with only 4 tracks and put 1 (Birth - Fate - Death) + another one that's not on the album on Myspace. Or maybe it’s on some edition exclusively intended for the protonuragic province of Carbonia - Iglesias, and we just don’t know! :) I would love to do a 5 questions with Brutus or whatever that guy's name is: if I can, I'll ask him! @ I Ban: indeed, the band in question has remained a bit under the radar until now. A shame: I added the tags and a couple of other things (like the album cover, I think) on Lastfm because no one was stepping up. To date, I believe I might even be one of the top listeners... it seems trivial, but considering the following that Loose had, it surprises me a little. Hmm!

Sure! But then Santa Claus granted my wishes and brought me the Dolce Forno, and so I was able to drown my sorrows in food.

@geenoo: he he he... and I still have archived your email where you confess that when you were little, one year for Christmas you asked for the big Barbie Camper!
