Colosseum Daughter Of Time

9 may 11

Voto:

I'm stopped at the famous Valentyne Suite, which I listen to once a year (around June)... maybe the pinnacle of prog is that of KC, Yes, Genesis, etc... but these Colosseum had a very original way, unprecedented for the time, of approaching blues-rock: for them it was no longer the "music of the devil," dirty and lewd, but many nice little bricks to build a powerful harmonic castle... in the sense that any musical genre can be "progressivized"...

Stoner, Sludge, Drone...just the kind of music I don’t like...I’ve listened to these as well, but I just can’t get into them...

Autechre Basscad, EP

Voto:

it's right to review even the lesser albums, so that Deb becomes as comprehensive a database as possible on all musical knowledge...for the record: I have never liked Autechre, but clearly, it's just not my genre...

This morning I went to the market to get some rotisserie chicken, and a stranger suggested a trade: a charred chicken wing in exchange for the D/K Trio album... well, I accepted! ;-P I'm listening to it right now while I digest the chicken: I must say it’s an album DOMINATED by our Duan and his liquefied guitar, but not entirely cleansed of the residues of the Lizard... it's "ambient" jazz, with something unhealthy: it’s as beautiful as pure atmospheric music crafted by survivors of the blazing noise season... I still don't hear the English references (Talk Talk and Bark Psychosis, maybe a little something from the early days), perhaps some Calexico, no? :-/

mmm...honestly, I'm not a fan of shoegaze...I even struggle to appreciate Slowdive, you know what I mean...so, dear vivis, if you tell me these are derivative, I'll leave them right where they are...great review anyway...especially the part where you mention those "post-wave" bands from the '80s, so different from each other like The Smiths, Echo, MBV, yet all connected by a common thread...well, more of a blue thread, I’d say, considering the heavenly sound (okay, there's quite a bit of red in Echo, though)...come on vivis!!! let's go! ;-)))

Damn...CJ + Martsch...how do those two get along? Who decides the arrangements?! :-D

The Denison/Kimball Trio Walls In The City

Really? I thought they were a math-rock band, and instead you mention Talk Talk, Bark, June, Dirty 3... I searched for them years ago, with no luck... a bit like Randy "Biscuit" Turner’s Cargo Cult, another black beast... but where do you find this music? :-/

Jovanotti Live @ Caserta, Palamaggiò 29.04.11

Voto:

but come on! you messed everything up! You shouldn't have asked her about her music tastes! Those are the most embarrassing questions! (don’t you ever blush when people ask you: “what music do you listen to?”) anyway, if you want to add some killer CDs to the wedding list, we from Deb can contribute ;-) (with Jovanotti...) :-D

The Honeymoon Killers The Honeymoon Killers From Mars

On Allmusic, they have "Honeymoon Killers from Mars"... I listen to them every now and then, but I don't have this album... they're just a tiny bit less assholes than Pussy Galore ;-)
