for me her best work is "Have you in my Wilderness," perfectly balanced in the overall sound mixture. When she tries too hard, it gets lost, becoming too pretentious. The live "In the Same Room" is another significant moment. Although very different, Sundfor strikes me as more grounded, and certainly much more down-to-earth.

Bob Dylan Rough and Rowdy Ways

The Nobel Prize for Dylan is deserved; all the controversy over his withdrawal was based on nothing because Bob had already clarified his stance on the withdrawal of awards in "Day of the Locusts" from '70... so...

Lucio Battisti E già

"And already" is for me a very interesting album. Battisti brings to Italy the sounds of the early Depeche Mode, which he probably saw in London, and the later Human League, those of the synth-pop cornerstone "Dare." He does it in a very curious way, with these lyrics that serve the music, so sounds within sounds. I wonder what the demo version played by Lucio sounds like... I've always asked myself that.

"Shock in My Town" has a similar base to "Io se Fossi Dio" by Gaber.

I would never want to spend a Christmas at the Knopfler house; Mark must be quite the jerk given how he treated his brother by removing him from "Making Movies."

The next one is enjoyable, I miss this one. Then after, Stewart will start collaborating with Paul McCartney for the rest of the decade. An interesting crossover McCartney 10cc is in "McGear" from 1974. A gem from Paul's brother.

"Darkroom" has been widely pillaged, Susanne Sundfor even mentions it in one of her tracks. A cult album for many, challenging... listen to the "uncut" version and you'll understand.

J. J. Abrams Star Wars: L'ascesa di Skywalker

Rey and Kylo (Ben) are much more interesting and intriguing characters compared to those of the original trilogy, who are indeed quite bland and lacking in development. No one admits it, but Episode IV is embarrassing in terms of dialogue (quote Harrison Ford) and partly plot. Episode VIII is the most complex, pedagogical, and psychological. Episode IX is a good film, and Rey is the heroine of today who chooses to self-determine despite being aware of the thousand difficulties this entails. Good film.

By now, I have the impression that they sift through records in abundance to steal ideas from others, a collage that the youngsters tolerate... I no longer do.

I unfortunately notice that the quality of the comments and critical insights on this site has dropped in recent years. Once there was dialogue and stimulation; today, everyone is commenting on the umpteenth review of the Pink Floyd with "this is just another one about Pink Floyd."
