Beautiful! Crazy and frenetic in the best possible way. I don't vote because I need to metabolize.

One of the most original bands of the last decade. The first 2 albums are something shocking, especially the first, Choirs of the Eye. I won't rate the album because I haven't listened to it yet, and giving it a score based on trust feels dishonest. What’s certain is that this is one of the rare bands I believe it's a civic duty to promote and support for the future of music. Essential. Unique.

In my opinion, "It's Almost Magic, Johnny" by Cristina D'Avena is the best hard rock piece ever. :D

On the drums in this album is a guy, Danil Morini, who was nineteen at the time. A technically astounding monster for his age. It's a shame he also took the path of cold instrumentalism like his teachers and peers. On the album: the usual stereotypical Italian power metal, with the added bonus of a vocalist obsessed with '80s American AOR... you can draw your own conclusions...

I already have "Belladonna," which is good but not amazing; now I will get this out of curiosity... well done, reviewer.
Nucleus & Ian Carr Belladonna

An excellently crafted album... I'm not sure whether to place it directly in jazz-fusion or in the Canterbury realm. Good improvisational skills nonetheless and moments reminiscent of Miles Davis...

Damn, this crap takes up 100 megabytes of my hard drive, I'm deleting it right away... wow, that fake theatrical voice, the literally unbearable keyboards, and arrangements that couldn't be more stereotypical... well, I hate new-prog, got it? :D

Well Geenoo, perhaps not everyone in Naples is a gangster, but keep in mind that the camorra has five times the number of affiliates as Cosa Nostra. It is very rooted in the territory and in the mentality of the people.

Telling you my top 10 from the '80s feels like a monumental task... anyway, off the top of my head, I can mention: "You're living all over me" by Dinosaur Jr., "Pornography" and "Disintegration" by The Cure, "Sister" and "Daydream Nation" by Sonic Youth, "Murmur" by R.E.M., "Double Nickels on the Dime" by Minutemen, "Spirit of Eden" by Talk Talk, "Apollo: Atmospheres & Soundtracks" by Brian Eno, "Up on the Sun" by Meat Puppets, "The Real Thing" by Faith No More...

Good album that, partly due to the choice of sounds and partly because of some jazz-related constraints, never quite reaches exceptional levels. Nevertheless, it's welcome.
