 A technological gem like the Fairlight was used in an unoriginal way and at its minimal potential.

 The expectations raised by the title and source of inspiration were betrayed by the concern to convey the idea with a great display of means, neglecting the emotional and subconscious approach.

Malleus' Paranorm Op. I uses the powerful Fairlight synthesizer to create dark, paranormal-inspired soundscapes but ultimately falls short artistically. The album's A side conjures atmospheric horror-like moods, though it feels overly engineered and lacking emotion. The B side's unrelated tracks dilute the concept further. Despite Enrico Ragni's talent and vision, the album underwhelms and disappoints longtime admirers. Discover the story behind Malleus' Paranorm Op. I and explore this unique blend of synth technology and paranormal inspiration.

 "Spirit" - the opening track - certainly the best track. An enticing drum machine, a rhythm around 100 bpm, a piano similar to a keyboard, with a dreamy and disillusioned voice...

 "Oltre-Passo," a desire to go beyond and break free from something that holds or perhaps oppresses.

Aidala's 1988 EP 'Oltre-Passo' presents a unique, original sound blending indie ballads with dreamy and cryptic autobiographical lyrics.

Despite limited exposure, Aidala's craftsmanship and atmosphere stand out, marking this as a hidden gem from the Italian new wave era. Listen to Aidala’s evocative 'Oltre-Passo' EP and discover a rare Italian musical treasure from the late 80s.

 F.A.R. were certainly not interested in producing clean sounds, and the entire work had a lo-fi aura essentially suited to the sinister overtones of its titles and various recitations.

 "Soon the Rats Will Come Looking for Us" is a fluid collage of musical moments ranging between dark atmospheres and technological nursery rhymes.

F.A.R.'s 1987 album 'Presto i topi verranno a cercarci' stands as a landmark in Italian industrial music, combining experimental noise with dadaist and krautrock influences. The band's lo-fi aesthetic and dark, ironic atmosphere reflect their unique creative vision. Though niche in appeal, the album remains a vital testament to the early European industrial scene and F.A.R.'s innovative path before focusing on the MGZ project. Discover the raw energy and dark creativity of F.A.R.'s industrial sound—listen now and explore a key chapter in experimental music history.

 "A collage photograph... shows us the best and the worst of a group that between 1966 and 1968 marked a fundamental point in the history of rock."

 Allevi has achieved enormous artistic success without bringing anything new to the cultural journey of music as such.

 "Alien" is certainly Allevi’s least sincere album.

This review critiques Giovanni Allevi's album Alien as artistically unoriginal, relying heavily on established piano styles without adding innovation. The album is described as predictable and lacking emotional depth, reflecting a broader issue of marketing-driven success in the Italian music scene. Despite this, Allevi's work has made solo piano music mainstream in Italy, appealing to a public unfamiliar with prior contemporary pianists. Alien is considered Allevi's least sincere album, marked more by commercial strategy than artistic inspiration. Explore Giovanni Allevi’s Alien to decide if it’s your style—listen now and judge the piano phenomenon yourself!

 "The adhesion between music and images is overwhelming, an adjective perhaps less appropriate for the almost metaphysical and ritual slowness of this film’s opening."
