Let's not exaggerate, Brunoro. As stated, Dick always had brilliant ideas, but not always inspired prose. Some books are not very well written (and they should be read in the original, since translating is a bit like betraying), while others are definitely better. I’ll skip the one about philosophy; as much as we all gathered here like Dick, let's try to give him the right merits without excessively amplifying them. Then again, feel free to think otherwise.

I profess ignorance for gavin, for the virgin plums, and for the aforementioned disc. I'll make a note of it for future listening.

Beautiful the fugazones, listened to relatively late in my musical training, what a shame. My favorites remain Repeater and End Hits, in which I find the more elongated parts a bit hard to digest, but the rest is quite a kick in the ass.

I expressed myself poorly; it’s not that they didn’t know the band, but that they had listened superficially to the first album. I re-listened to both just these days and I’m even more convinced of the superiority of the first. In fact, I noticed how they’re two different sports—Amber doesn’t always use her annoying vibrato like she does now; instead, she’s very measured in managing her voice. The keyboards are less intrusive, McBean is more lyrical, the songs are more varied (maybe this album is a bit fragmented, that’s true), but it has insights that, in my opinion, have been somewhat overlooked in favor of a more muscular and bombastic approach to the material.

Yes, but at least as far as I'm concerned, due to a lack of alternatives, at least for the Black Mountain, who have really lost some of the less flashy intuitions of the first album. I also read some ramblings in the latest Mucchio about it that left me astounded; it almost seemed like they didn't know them before the last In The Future... who knows.

Definitely, especially because seen in person she's even hotter.

I have to see it, but I can't stand Johansson (even though Match Point is a great little movie for me too, and she doesn't look out of place there), and the now stereotypical idea of Barcelona as the belly of all perdition makes me yawn. But who knows, maybe I'll give it a glance. Oh, but are there any boobs? That could be a key factor...

I agree, damn it, I'm also stubbornly writing, at least let's try to stem the tide of the usual records, not saying with quality, but at least with a different musical offering.

But you know, Sylvian, that I'm listening to it again and I have to say that I quite like it? Maybe it's because I sometimes crave a bit more cheerful stuff and this fits my needs these days.

Dick is a bit like the pig (like the Velvet Underground): nothing goes to waste when you dig in. He had insights that also inspired research and technological developments, and he really envisioned a future that, if you look closely, is coming true. Your writing Adder is beautiful; the book left me speechless, and I was actually thinking of re-reading it after 8 years. I completely agree with Nokia regarding his greatest masterpieces, but even in lesser works (especially in how they are written, which is a somewhat general problem of Dick's, having fantastic ideas but not always writing good books) like In Senso Inverso, the insights are jaw-dropping. I don't understand why some continue to prefer Vonnegut to him; sure, I like Vonnegut, but he never approached the realm of premonition like Dick did. Good job also in citing the constant references to religion in a broad sense, his fixation, like the constant of unreachable women and sources of disappointment. Amen.
