A nice prologue, an excellent review that highlights your personal perspective but, as usual, validated by your deep knowledge of the subject. I’ve just gotten to know them; there’s a track called My Lost Lenore that I really like, and others that are a bit too metal for me, but I intend to continue my search and I will use your track-by-track to get my bearings. Bye for now, I have little time these days, but as soon as I can, I’ll comment on the other 1567 reviews you’ve written in the last 24 hours heheheheh.

Well, not everyone has the magnificent opportunity to listen to this album exactly at such a particular and beautiful moment as the one you described, and the fact that you loved it too – what luck... but your review piqued my curiosity quite a bit because I belong to the category A of those you mentioned at the end, and I'm always on the lookout for music to blast in my head that, instead of inspiring me to commit suicide, lulls me to sleep at night like a baby. I don’t watch television at all, but bands like Third and the Mortal or Dark Sanctuary relax me, like the reassuring voice of parents when you’re little! Let’s be clear, I do listen to CDs with attention too, just not at night. This band seems to be exactly the right kind, especially considering they are Finnish, which is a promising factor in itself. The reason why there are so few comments and votes, in my opinion, is that there are generally, and thus here too, few people passionate about this genre and many more interested either in metal or in "sunshine and lollipops music." Even my reviews are lucky if I get five comments. Goodbye!
Lacrimas Profundere Burning: A Wish
Voto:
A good review with perhaps a slightly detached tone in an attempt to be as objective as possible. I agree with you regarding the alternation of good and almost insignificant tracks. I loved Memorandum so much and I consider it far superior to this one, and I place Fall:I will Follow second on the list. Perino "Diotima," which isn't bad, but in my opinion does not stand out compared to the two albums I've mentioned. It might be the underlying songwriting, or maybe it has a certain greater energy, but even though I greatly admire their LPs, this album left me a bit disappointed. They are playing in Munich on April 28...Munich...but why don't they come to Rome which is so beautiful? But how many people in Italy know them? Few, I guess.

It really seems like an excellent review, calm, thorough, and with a choice of words that is thoughtful and surprisingly effective in conveying to the reader what kind of music is being discussed. I think I would enjoy the more melodic tracks, so I will look for them; it's always nice to discover new things. Bye bye.
Piotr Ilyitch Tchaikovsky Sinfonia n° 5 Op. 64
Voto:
A splendid, cultured, detailed, and deeply felt review with reflections on the man Tchaikovsky as well as on his work. Put it this way, Grass: the usual idiots who take pleasure in ruining average ratings, like little children who furiously destroy a piece of work you've just finished to draw attention to themselves, at least serve to bring out the finest humor in the reviewer and many others. They vitalize the site, highlighting by contrast the acumen of others. Which is the opposite of what they would want, right? Happy Easter!

Radiodervish Lingua Contro Lingua
Voto:
A bit short as a review, but you express the essentials well and it seems to me that your choice of adjectives reflects the atmosphere created by the Radiodervish. Personally, I prefer In Search of Simurgh and I consider that their non plus ultra. I hope many will want to discover them; their professionalism and originality deserve more recognition. Ciaaaooo and Happy Easter
Radiodervish In Search Of Simurgh
Voto:
Your review has a certain flair; it slightly reveals the atmosphere that the Radiodervish create, but I would have perhaps added something more specific precisely because they are so unclassifiable that by discussing individual pieces, one could draw out information to help those unfamiliar with them understand how absolutely amazing they are. "World music" makes me think of something commercial, and they are not that at all. His voice is something extraordinary in its sweetness and naturalness; it sounds like someone who, in the morning, instead of saying good morning, sings it directly. Then… then the fact that each individual piece is a gem, and as soon as you get used to the fact that some are sung in Arabic, it seems like the perfect language for that piece… they have the melancholy of a dark group without being one… this album is certainly my favorite among theirs for its homogeneity and beauty of the songs, and I rank it among the best CDs of the last two years. Sorry for the delay with the rating; you do what you can. Bye bye.

Milan calls, Rome answers. Here are my impressions of an old lady who went to a concert after 25 years. By the way, I found out they were playing in Rome thanks to a user on Debaser. Well, when they arrived after Harris had finished (a girl's comment from the audience: "Is the noise over?" I couldn't agree more...) and especially when I saw her, Sharon, the nightingale, whom I had only seen online or on the cover, I thought: Does she really exist? Is she alive? It was an emotion; all the music I listen to comes from the internet or CDs, it's like suddenly the character from a book jumps out in flesh and blood from the story you're reading!
She is super charming and beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. When she sings, she waves her arms as if making waves, she doesn't stay still for a second, smiles a lot, and wears a black corset with lace. The guitarist and keyboardist are tall, skinny; on the cover of ā€œThe Silent Forceā€ they have the faces of tough guys, but in person, they are also incredibly friendly. They moved their bodies back and forth like dinosaurs lowering and raising their long necks, in perfect harmony, how funny!
The best part was seeing how they poured their hearts into it; they didn't hold back for a moment, and when they played the last song, they jumped up and down on stage, may God bless them with energy! The downside was that the guitars almost drowned out Sharon's voice, which didn't shine as clearly as in the studio recording.
The young audience seemed a bit lifeless to me, though. Only a small group sang along and let loose, imitating Sharon's gestures; the others seemed lost in their own world and really closed off. Ah! In my time...
But it's not fair that at twenty, a girl can wear those beautiful dark sexy outfits, while when I was twenty, we had to stuff ourselves into shapeless loden because of politics; I wasn't a girl, no, I was a "compagna," bah.
The funniest moment of the concert: Sharon introduced the songs with a few words in English. After one of her little speeches, a young guy next to me asked his friend: "What did she say? When does she strip?" Heheheheheheh.
But tell me, how many people were there in Milan? In Rome, there were really few, I don't know if they reached a thousand, poor Within! That's why I found their enthusiasm even more extraordinary, with just a handful of fans welcoming them after they had traveled from Milan to Rome that very day. In my opinion, true professionalism also means not holding back just because the audience is small, and it's hard for me to think of them as commercial. Bye bye!
