fusillo

I forgive you and quote you, Symbad.;-) I add that, if I haven't misunderstood the law on piracy and copyright by the former Minister Urbani, films recorded from TV would also be illegal. Personally, I don't disdain the mule either. Without the mule, records that are currently out of print, even by fairly famous artists (the first that comes to mind is Tim Buckley with "starsailor" and "Blue Afternoon," but if someone tells me that these two CDs are back on the market, I would be happy and go buy them immediately) would be entirely unavailable.

Not for me, but I like the review.

@alter ego: Dave Stewart, a very eclectic keyboardist, was also a member of Hatfield and the North. ;-)

I saw Keith Jarrett with the Standards Trio at the Arena di Verona on a couple of occasions. Both were stunning evenings. Just as beautiful as this record must be.

Great pianist whom I only know for his collaboration with the crimson king. I would like to add a small note to Morning Glory's comment: Keith Tippet also played on "Islands," not the best album by King in my opinion, but Keith's contribution to the title track has always struck me as remarkable. The review is beautiful.

I don't know the albums of Air, but Baricco's books are terrible! Baricco doesn't do literature; he does literary marketing...

And to think that I know Paolo and not Slint. But now I'm looking for them.

Well, in the samples I didn't notice the resemblance to Jeff Buckley. Anyway, this Piers seems talented.

As far as the lyrics go: all the lyrics from all the Italian progressive rock bands I've heard are, in my opinion, trivial, especially the convoluted ones, like "Darwin" by Banco. PFM was the one that made the best music. Their lyrics were trivial too, but I can forget about that when I listen to "Impressioni di Settembre." In fact, I believe that PFM's absolute best album is the live one with De André, where their undisputed abilities as arrangers and performers are enhanced by Fabrizio's melodies and poetry. The fact remains that even PFM (without De André) pales in comparison to English bands like Hatfield and the North or Henry Cow. What can I say, Hatfield and Cow had an extra edge. P.S. If you're interested, I've reviewed the two English bands I mentioned. In the review of Henry Cow "In Praise of Learning," there are also some samples, so maybe, if you don't know them, you'll get an idea. Bye.
