Wow... sorry for the typo "the review by Zingales left me too" Must be the late hour. "A me mi" is not correct :-)

Dear Sfascia, I really like "Rykketid" and the aforementioned "Moan" by Trentemøller. The rest of the tracks could have been condensed into a single CD, as you mentioned in your review of the album. Your baroque writing contrasts nicely with the analysis of minimal-techno CDs (as you previously did with Alex Smoke). I too found Zingales' review in Blow Up puzzling. It’s true that many pieces are so sparse (minimalistic?) that they seem insignificant; it’s true that they often self-cite, but one cannot deny that there are some happy moments within "The Last Resort." The journalist in question probably has a personal dislike for "our" artist, but that does not diminish his skill in addressing genres completely snubbed by the entire Italian music press (electronic, techno, house, and club culture in general). Dear Zion, Blow Up is the only Italian music magazine that discusses these genres through comprehensive reviews/articles from all points of view. Do you know any others that span from Devendra Banhart to Aphex Twin, passing through the Italian rap scene, dubstep, and dance? Zingales is indeed an authoritative and well-informed voice on dance electronic music, even the more commercial side, which, in my opinion, he often emphasizes more than necessary. (For example, read the review of Justin Timberlake's album in the same infamous issue 101 of BU). In short, one can disagree with Zingales’ tastes—like when he declared "Human After All" by Daft Punk as album of the year—but not with his skill and expertise. Cheers.

A good review even though the track-by-track format makes it heavy to read. Although pleasant on a first listen, there is a slight feeling of déjà entendu. In my humble opinion, a decent album, but nothing more.

Never read such a jumble of clichés about electronic music, DJs, and experimenters as what lordsandreik wrote in his posts.

Very beautiful, movie and book. Good review.

A meager review for a decent film, definitely not a 1 as Riccardelli-Poletti wrote. Solomon is right when he says that some comments on reviews are just despicable pretexts to inflate the egos of certain characters lurking on Debaser. Like, precisely, Poletti, who, with nonchalance, invites us to read the list of his 100 favorite films where we find, at the 17th position (only?), the "Battleship Potemkin" of which he owns a rare personal copy... Come on now.

I have seen only one film by Von Trier, "Dogville." I won't watch any others.

Dear Poletti, I would have liked to explain why I found your review superficial, but Jim Morrison beat me to it. And there’s no need to add any more words.

Definitely a film for fans of the fantasy genre, which still deserved a less superficial review.

I definitely prefer "L'esorciccio."
