Copernico

A composer who later kicked off musical expressionism, influencing Berg and Webern, which is quite significant, considering the developments in the musical landscape of the early 20th century. The symphony is exceedingly wonderful, but it lacks that extremely dramatic or solemn dimension, however one chooses to interpret it, that is found in its 4 subsequent symphonies. I took a look at the reviews, and I am appalled not so much by what is being reviewed, that’s to be expected, but by the nonsensical comments, which brings me joy in reading and commenting on you.

As far as my point of view might interest you, I think that despite the review being good, you’ve taken the music of these bands too seriously. In the end, if you like it, you can listen to it in the car or wherever the hell you want, and it's great entertainment, which isn’t a bad thing radio-wise. If the album, as in your case, doesn’t appeal to you, there's no need to bring in magazines or make comparisons with other bands. We’re all aware, or at least almost everyone, that we’re not looking at the Beatles or Fossati or whoever the hell you like, but still, what the hell, amidst today’s musical landscape, they, just like Franz Ferdinand, hold their own. And if the little tunes are nice, why should we self-castrate by flaunting all this musical knowledge with supergroups? I for one have long passed the age where I thought I understood everything about music just because I was listening to King Crimson or Stockhausen. Anyway, this isn’t directed at you as a person, but more in general, and aside from everything, I liked the review.

Well done Gemma, great musical choice.

I don’t know, I really consider Waters one of the best contemporary composers, both with Pink and on his own, but I am objectively more fascinated by his differently visionary works, like "The Wall," "The Final Cut," or "Amused To Death." "Radio Kaos," although it starts with great listening intentions, I can't make it mine, I can't process it; I know it sounds harsh to say, but I find it cold, almost sterile.

The review may come off as a bit school-like, yet the album is remarkable.

Hi Hal, it's been a while since we last spoke. I don't know the album and neither does she (it's a "She," right?), but it's always a pleasure to read you.

It's an album that I'm missing, and I've come across it quite a few times, who knows, maybe after this review it will finally be my turn? You know, I find your reviews lovely, without too much emotional baggage and almost journalistic (in the sense of informative, fulfilling, and concise).

Mister No, if you're interested, there's "Fabula" from 1976, a double vinyl with Bruford on drums, from the "Wind And Wuthering" tour. It might be a bit hard to find, but it's really nice and recorded quite decently as well.

I apologize for intruding, but honestly, I find that there has been an unjustified presumption on your part in reviewing this work. This isn't about whether you like "Discipline" or not, but about assessing its right importance in the musical landscape, and your review shows a shocking lack of basic technical instrumental competence. Tony Levin on this album uses (at the time it was in its infancy) an extremely difficult and technically demanding bass stick to play. Then there’s only a forum needed for the cover, a kind of enneagram, but that’s where Fripp comes in and you don’t seem very knowledgeable on the subject. In short, I don't think anyone holds anything against you, but your ignorance on the matter cannot in any way justify the judgment you have given.

Sorry, the lacquers are blue, red, and yellow, not green, sorry.
