Roberto Benigni Pinocchio

8 jul 07

Voto:

Among a thousand quality Pinocchios, among Walt Disney, Comencini, Carmelo Bene, perhaps Benigni hoped that we would get distracted and that the audience would like this too. Instead, this is truly a crazy crap, probably one of the worst Pinocchios ever. What to say, Robertaccio, what a bad end you've come to, you've really gotten bourgeois in a terrible way...

Bill Laswell Lo Def Pressure

Interesting note. He has collaborated with Brian Eno, John Zorn, and Buckethead; I haven't listened to anything of his as a solo artist, I'll make sure to remedy that.

This movie had amazed me when I saw it on DVD, it was about 2 hours long. The version I had seen on TV, however, lasted less than an hour and a half: they had censored about a quarter of the film (it was practically a different movie).

John Zorn From Silence To Sorcery

I miss this too; however, I believe it falls under contemporary classical music, where some of the most challenging things Zorn has written are concentrated. For those interested in this aspect of his work, I personally recommend "Cartoon S & M," which is quite listenable.

John Zorn Six Litanies For Heliogabalus

Well, to be honest, from what I've listened to, "Moonchild," "Astronome," and "Six Litanies For Heliogabalus" seem to me to rank among Zorn's misguided ventures, and this comes from a fan who literally adores Naked City and Painkiller. I may be retrograde and obscurantist, but it seems to me that with these last three albums, our saxophonist of (dis)trust is pulling a fast one on us. A bit like John Cage's 4'33'', if you get what I mean.

Sylvie Courvoisier Signs And Epigrams

I listened to this pianist tackling the zornesco book of angels vol 3, Malphas, alongside Mark Feldman, who, by the way, seems to be her husband; what a lovely Masada family. At this point, I'm quite curious to listen to the Mephista...

Marc Ribot Asmodeus: Book Of Angels Volume 7

I haven't listened to it yet, but Ribot usually creates sparks with the masada. For the record, I don't believe Trevor Dunn played in Naked City; Fred Frith was on bass there.
