I saw it about 7-8 years ago, and my roommate at university had it. It was on VHS, but you can find it in many malls on DVD for 10-15 euros... it’s not that great anyway...

The only thing I remember about the concert is the documentary. The scene with the fake hippie surfer guru who breaks the surfboard and pulls out a nice piece of hash deserves to be seen. And also when, after about an hour of a tiresome documentary about these four freak rich kids who smoke and spout the same old stereotypes about India, Sai Baba, and the sadhus, Hendrix arrives with a bottle of whiskey in hand, declaring that he's been high for two consecutive days while they pass him a joint the size of a station wagon. Different times.

I echo the comment above, perhaps with less resentment. But the concept is the same.

I'm not a big connoisseur of the Kranky catalog, I didn't know that Dadamah had released stuff with them. For me, Kranky is Goodspeed and their affiliates (Silver Mt. Zion, tralàlala band, qui quo qua cici coco e cagame or cazz) which I followed for a while, but in the end, whether it was because they required prolonged listening or because, even after many listens, the prevailing feeling was sleepiness, I started to not get along with the products they were releasing. Anyway, for now, I like Dadamah, but I don't sense the aura of a masterpiece. I might have heard it too little, but aside from an abundance of Velvet-esque riffs, I haven't heard much else. Am I mistaken?

I'd like to conduct a survey: all those who say they adore this album, did they get to know the Pumpkins through Mellon Collie? It’s not snobbery, I just want to understand if there’s a sequence. For example, 1979 is really a load of nonsense for me; I couldn’t even stand it back then. Not to mention the video, it still makes me furious to think about it.

Well, I don't mind noquito; it even makes me laugh a bit. I wouldn’t give this album more than a 3. Let me explain my reasons: those like me who got to know them through Siamese Dream and Gish can’t help but admit, with hindsight, that this album was overhyped and, above all, full of fillers. Of course, I hold it dear because at the time I listened to it non-stop for months, but after the concert in Milan in '96, I realized they were heading in a direction I didn’t like. And let’s face it, they had become a proto-adolescent phenomenon; I mean, in Milan, the average age (and I was 20, not 40) was 15 years old!!! I know it sounds snobby to say this, but if an album is good, it’s good—no doubt about it—but that was the last straw.
Hearing it again now, not much stands out for me, and the one song I do appreciate is Through the Eyes of Ruby, which is truly beautiful. I agree about the slow, tedious songs on the second CD. One note: calling them grunge is a bit laughable, especially since I wouldn't use the term grunge at all... I’ll stop here because otherwise, we’ll have to repeat the same points, like: what do these guys have in common with Alice in Chains to warrant a shared musical definition? But this isn’t so much your mistake as it is the criticism that lumped everything together; categorizing everything just flattens out unique characteristics, which is why it’s pointless.

It doesn't seem to me that kyklos insulted anyone, or am I wrong? At most, I filled the June with insults back then. Simply, after a while, the cunning dissections of music from the outside become a bit sterile; I mean, it often happens to me too, but I try to limit myself because it hurts and it hurts music. Well, sorry, I sound like a crumb.

And indeed, I imagined that the only album I knew was the one most distant from their usual stuff. Well, come on download, help me out!

The problem with writing a lot is that 90% of the users on a site don’t read you, so you’re writing for nothing. And it's much easier to write a lot, even to ramble on (which I must say you don’t do too much), but it's far more interesting and stimulating to write the most number of things in the least space possible. It’s like writing a humanities thesis. Conciseness is everything when you need to convey a message.

I have to say that after repeated listens, I'm almost tempted to buy it. Yet I don't know them well... or maybe that's why I like this record. And to think that the little I do know puts me to sleep, like and then nothing sticazzi makes my bile rise. This, on the other hand, is beautifully varied (maybe a little too much), but it really ranges from 60s ballads to tracks similar to krautrock, to Brian Eno-style stuff, all the way to the psychedelic and obsessive opening song. By the way, I was reading on Rumore how the title and the progression of the piece recall or quote "careful with that axe eugene" by Pink Floyd. Great record so far, I must say it’s really good.
