Toto - Wings Of Time
Out of this world! After The Seventh One, they nearly got caught up in the cheesy sound of Foreigner and Chicago, but their class prevented that. This is the first album without Porcaro on drums 😥... from here on out, nothing essential.
 
Todd Rundgren - No. 1 Lowest Common Denominator (2015 Remaster)
As if the Atomic Rooster drank a lysergic orange soda from the Hawkwind brand.
 
OMD - So In Love
I didn't remember that Crush was released after Junk Culture. Crush is definitely "higher" compared to Junk and The Pacific Age, too pop and only salvaged by Never Turn Away and Live and Die. On Crush, however, there are special tracks like this one, Secret, La femme accident, and The Lights Are Going Out.
 
OMD - Never Turn Away
The last masterpiece along with Live and die in the subsequent The Pacific age.
 
Litfiba - Il vento (Live)
The last masterpiece before the decline (the live version of Louisiana is also stunning). On "3" I save Bambino, Peste, and Louisiana (three tracks that could have easily fit on 17 re.)
 
Dream Academy - Power to Believe
The harmonies of Prefab are history, but Dream Academy also has a cosmic sound.
 
Pankow - Wait and Search
I struggle to regard them merely as Body music. I only love this genre when it articulates the structures and grooves of drum kits, just like the Cabaret Voltaire did post The Voice of America and these formidable Florentines.
 
Pet Shop Boys - It's Alright (2018 Remaster)
Stunning in both the single version and the 9-minute version.
 
Underground Life - Al Buio con Te (1988)
The decomposition of our breath draws ghosts in the dark / And it's a physical force to feel in the void that has sublimated your mind / Dimming the submerged colors, drained, join your hands and gather / The myth of God, the drop of cosmos that has imprisoned us forever / The division of our pain cracks on the ice of hearts / And it's a humid force to undress in the cold, that has sealed our minds.
 
Julia's Song (Live 1981) - OMD
The videos of the live at the Theatre Royal (Drury Lane) from 1981 are something delightful.
 
FRIGIDAIRE TANGO - Recall - RAI 3 L'Orecchiocchio 1983
Here are those who were missing from the sacred list alongside Krisma, Neon, Underground life, Diaframma, and Litfiba.
