Slim

 A hard, paranoid, structured, and deconstructed record where every sound aesthetic seems deliberately overlooked.

 This record is a very transversal work, unjustly forgotten and underrated even today, but deserving more attention.

Turn It Over, released in 1970 by The Tony Williams Lifetime, is a bold and experimental fusion of jazz and rock. Featuring legendary musicians like John McLaughlin and Jack Bruce, the album offers heavy, dissonant sounds that challenge traditional boundaries. Though initially rejected by critics and audiences, its ensemble approach and intense atmosphere mark it as a significant, underrated work worthy of rediscovery. Dive into the groundbreaking fusion sounds of The Tony Williams Lifetime's Turn It Over and rediscover a jazz-rock classic.

 "The BBC has always accustomed us to impeccable recordings by artists in their peak period."

 "Any Soft Machine fanatic cannot afford not to secure this duo, especially since inside there are recordings that sometimes surpass the studio versions in beauty."

This review highlights the essential nature of Soft Machine's BBC sessions from 1967 to 1971, capturing the peak Wyatt era with exceptional live performances. It praises the alternate versions of tracks like 'Moon in June' for their unique beauty and creative reinterpretation. The recordings showcase the band's compositional brilliance, rhythmic precision, and jazz-rock innovation. Despite some weaker later tracks, the double album is deemed indispensable for fans and collectors. Dive into Soft Machine's iconic BBC sessions and experience the raw creativity of one of progressive rock's pioneering bands.

 The magnificent voice of the singer Inga Rumpf, endowed... with one of the most beautiful and interesting female voices of all time.

 'How the gipsy was born' is the jewel in the crown with an excellent vocal performance and an interesting instrumental part with a very Nordic sound.

Frumpy's album Frumpy2 is a notable example of early 1970s German Krautrock influenced by British rock. Featuring a dark, hard sound and extended instrumental sections, the album stands out due to Inga Rumpf's unique, gritty voice. Though the band wasn't pivotal in German rock history, this album remains worthy of attention. The standout track is 'How the Gipsy Was Born,' praised for its vocal and instrumental qualities. Listen to Frumpy2 and experience the powerful voice and dark Krautrock vibes of early 70s Germany.

 The version of "Killer" present here is worth more than all their studio albums put together, and it is one of the most thrilling performances ever.

 We are carried into a vortex of indescribable distortions and fury.

This review highlights a rare 1971 BBC live recording of Van Der Graaf Generator. It praises the intense and superior live performances of tracks like "Killer," "W," and "Man-Erg." Despite limited availability and only 23 minutes captured, the recording showcases the band's peak live energy and musicianship before their 1972 breakup. The review emphasizes the recording's importance for fans wishing to experience VDGG's live power. Listen to this legendary 1971 Van Der Graaf Generator BBC live session and experience their raw, unforgettable power!

 In my opinion, the album is the most successful of Jon Lord's solo works.

 An album to be listened to especially for the quality of the performances, for the relaxed yet never overly pompous atmosphere.

Jon Lord's Sarabande is a sophisticated fusion of jazz and rock with orchestral elements. Featuring Andy Summers and top musicians, it stands out as Lord's best solo work. The album offers elegant, simple yet catchy themes that encourage musicianship and improvisation. Production quality by Martin Birch enhances its clear and spacious sound. Overall, it's a relaxed, refined album worth exploring for fans of classic and progressive rock. Listen to Jon Lord's Sarabande for a masterful blend of jazz, rock, and orchestral elegance.

 The novelties in this album are represented by the absence of synthesizers and embellishments that characterized especially the previous album.

 Ultimately, the weakest album of The Who’s era with Keith Moon.

The review describes 'The Who By Numbers' as a creative low point for The Who, following their peak with 'Quadrophenia.' The album's stripped-down style and melancholic lyrics reflect a troubled period for the band. While some tracks like ‘Dreaming from the Waist’ and ‘Imagine a Man’ stand out, much of the album lacks direction. Keith Moon’s subdued drumming and overall weaker compositions mark this as the band’s weakest album during his tenure. Discover the highs and lows of The Who’s career with 'The Who By Numbers' – listen now and explore their journey.

 The overall atmosphere is that of a smoky London pub in the late 60s, with the happy alternation of powerful Rhythm 'n' Blues with noble Jazz nuances and intense ballads.

 Needless to say, the album went completely unnoticed given the competition from the wonderful record releases of that year, but when listened to again today, it proves to be very pleasant and tasteful.

Ashton Gardner Dyke's self-titled 1969 debut delivers a powerful mix of Rhythm and Blues with jazz nuances and memorable ballads. The trio, led by pianist Tony Ashton, creates a vibrant atmosphere reminiscent of late 60s London pubs. Despite its initial obscurity amid strong competition, the album remains a tasteful and enjoyable listen showcasing great musicianship. Listen to Ashton Gardner Dyke’s soulful 60s classic and rediscover a hidden gem of British rock history!

 This film is a true delirium!

 The comic gags are on par with the best of Cochi and Renato.

Saxofone is Renato Pozzetto's directorial debut and a lesser-known film filled with surreal and improbable comedic situations. The story centers on a high society lady and a street saxophonist, blending bizarre scenarios with outstanding Milanese cabaret talent. Despite some pacing issues and a lack of directorial polish, the film's humor and soundtrack by Enzo Jannacci stand out. A must-watch for fans of Cochi and Renato's surreal comedy style. Explore the quirky charm of Saxofone—watch this surreal comedy classic and enjoy Pozzetto's unique humor!

 I believe this is the most entertaining album Concato has ever written.

 Jean 'Toots' Thielemans... adds class and 'feel' to many songs.

Fabio Concato’s album 'Zio Tom' showcases his signature ironic and engaging songwriting. With entertaining tracks like 'Porcellone' and socially aware songs such as 'Bossa nova milanese,' the album blends humor and serious themes skillfully. Supported by celebrated musicians including harmonica legend Jean 'Toots' Thielemans, this work is a delightful discovery for fans of Italian singer-songwriters. Though not his most famous album, it's a rewarding listen that captures Concato's unique charm. Explore Fabio Concato's 'Zio Tom' for a blend of humor, heartfelt stories, and exceptional musicianship today!

 Roy Wood proves his mastery of multi-instrumentalism by playing ALL the imaginable instruments: Strings, Winds, Dulcimer, Banjo, in addition to the usual Piano, Bass, Drums, and Guitars.

 'Miss Clarke and the computer' is the most unsettling track of the album, with a pseudo-computer voice over acoustic accompaniment, creating a chilling atmosphere.

Roy Wood's 1973 solo album 'Boulders' showcases his masterful multi-instrumental talents and fresh songwriting style. Combining inventive arrangements with influences from Brian Wilson and McCartney, the album stands out with unique instrumentation and memorable melodies. Tracks like 'Nancy Sing Me a Song' and 'Dear Elaine' highlight Wood's creativity and musical depth. Despite being underappreciated, 'Boulders' remains a must-listen classic blending pop, progressive, and experimental sounds. Explore the brilliant and underrated 'Boulders' by Roy Wood—listen now and experience a masterclass in multi-instrumental artistry!
