fuck zionnnn!!!!!!!!! I was about to review it but it was in line. I'm trying to buy it these days. It's not bad at all, easy is right to say they sound old but I like them for that. So far, the psychedelic release of the year. I hear a lot of hawkwind too, and especially krautrock like amon duul II (yeti to be clear). The third or fourth track has a piece of organ (I think...unfortunately, I haven't fully absorbed it yet because I'm overwhelmed with dozens of other downloads) that sounds like Echoes. Whisky River is quite spaced out with this lolloping piano and a very lysergic ending. Highly recommended.

Patty, I wrote this to you because I live in Tokyo, so I’m well-versed in the cultural stereotypes of Italians abroad; I could outline at least ten different types. As for nostalgia, it's not directed towards a supposed homeland (nowadays, if you want to carve out a bit of Italian-ness here, it’s way too easy; maybe in Indonesia it’s a different story), but towards people, I miss them. Bye.

Thank you hal, I didn't remember the name of the Dire Straits song either. Regarding the fact that he’s a good artist, that’s absolutely a personal judgment, like all judgments, of course. In the music field, I can think of other internationally famous artists who are artistically far superior to him (just think of Paolo Conte). The image of Italy or Italians abroad does not touch me in any way, because the very concept of a nation and especially of national identity (sadly manipulable) has no real basis. Trying to create a cultural unity in a country like ours, historically made up of micro-social and cultural realities that are sometimes totally different, is just one of the many methods of mass manipulation, aimed exclusively at creating a dangerously homogeneous way of thinking. There are no Italians, Moroccans, Indonesians, Mexicans, etc. there are individuals. They are shaped by their cultural background, but they do not become that way simply because they live in a certain country. P.S.: Bongusto, in addition to having his lyrics written by Zucchero, also sang a well-known theme from a cartoon... Jeeg Robot D'acciaio... I know someone will say it was Pelù, but the source is certain: Mazinga Nostalhia by Marco Pellitteri, published by Castelvecchi in 1999.

Fewer and fewer bands manage to lucidly admit that their artistic vein is now nonexistent after achieving economic success and make a graceful exit before their time is up. Unfortunately, Bono & co. have become somewhat of a paradigm for mass-market rock bands. This is fine by me; better than many others, at least they have a respectable artistic past. However, their constant attempt to project a socially engaged image, but not too much (see Bono, the whales, Greenpeace, etc.), makes me want to kick them in the teeth. I realized how much they had become slaves to their image and their HUGE ego (Bono in particular) when I saw them in '93 in Verona... Bono who did nothing but try to look cool with the girls... sadness, sadness, and more sadness...

Well, what can I say, a character or rather a "guy" who can definitely be described as shameless; to put it mildly, trying not to use more appropriate but obviously offensive epithets. Someone who is born copying the image and the way of singing not of Pinko Pallino, but of Joe Cocker (and for fuck's sake, choose some unknown idiot! Talk about a lack of imagination) and guitar solos from Dire Straits. And by some mystery of the business, he struts around with foreign artists without any shame for his continuous plagiarisms and, in fact, denying such thefts. He should be artistically executed.

I'm writing this comment drunk and after my nighttime cigarette at 4:20. What can I say, it's not an essential album from the '60s production, but it stands out in terms of atmosphere, at least in my opinion. Hum, I'm all in for a night filled with kimbo, joints, and psychedelia, after all, I’ll be in Italy for good in January. Anyway, I recommend another American post-'67 band that’s not bad, the C.A. Quintet. By the way, I put the samples in, but they sound like the Chipmunks once again... dwarfs HELP!!!!!! I haven't changed anything in the cdex settings, so why do they sound bad? Good night, folks.

Nick, yes I’m in Tokyo until just before Christmas, then I’m going back to Italy for a while (at least until the end of next summer). Feel free to email me, but do it in time. I'm also working as a slave in a high-class Italian restaurant. Tonight is the Dolce & Gabbana party, you make the sadness!

Nice rec, Nick. But Molko and his placebo make my hands itch....aside from the first album....without you i am nothing didn't really say anything to me at all. But a stupid question: what the hell are you doing in Albion? I mean what trabajo? You've been there for a while, right? Alright, bye.

A couple of technical notes: a well-made 33-minute record blows away the unbearable stuff that drags on for an hour; garage is '60s music, not '70s; Franz Ferdinand seem more '80s to me, don’t you think? The '60s revival is periodic, just look at '80s garage bands like Fuzztones, Miracle Workers, Lyres, and Cynics. They don’t say much to me, but feel free to disagree. There’s something nice in this revival, but usually it’s not the most well-known stuff. I go straight to the source, and with the new ones, I just master them at most. Bye.

Beautiful rec Dark. Too bad you repeat "arrangiamento" too many times. Overall good and precise. This album has a pretty insane cover, don’t you think? I don’t know if it makes me laugh or piss me off. Months ago, I met a Japanese photographer obsessed with Italian 70s prog who adored this album and the one by Trip. Here you can find them all in ultra-luxury editions because Italian prog is really popular in Japan.
