 Morphine is the night. A liquid night, wrapped in the mist of continuously consumed cigarette smoke.

 'Like Swimming' hides within itself true gems of inestimable value, but also reflects a sense of compositional fatigue.

The review paints Morphine's Like Swimming as a hypnotic and evocative album wrapped in a dim, smoky atmosphere. Despite a sense of compositional fatigue compared to earlier works, it still offers powerful moments and emotional depth. Mark Sandman's tragic passing colors the music’s poetic yet real aura. The album holds gems like 'Early to Bed' and 'Murder for the Money' but overall is more subdued than previous releases. Dive into Morphine's 'Like Swimming' for a moody, hypnotic experience full of hidden gems and heartfelt blues.

 "He has a story and truly bites," and in this case, the story bites fiercely and sparks intense debates.

 It is not an exhortation to violence, nor a blessing of terrorism, but the exact opposite—a cold and very harsh analysis of the social and psychological implications behind such actions.

Fabrizio De André's album Storia Di Un Impiegato is a profound concept work that explores themes of power, rebellion, and social conscience. The story follows a clerk caught between frustration and desire for change, ultimately confronting the mechanisms of authority. Musically rich and lyrically sharp, the album offers a cold, insightful analysis of violence and political turmoil. De André's use of metaphor and his unique progressive style reinforce the emotional depth of the narrative. The album condemns oppressive power and subversive violence alike, affirming a nuanced anarchist philosophy. Listen to Fabrizio De André's powerful Storia Di Un Impiegato and explore its gripping story of rebellion and social conscience.

 The title track unequivocally expresses what are the peculiarities of the band, both in music and in lyrics.

 A debut, that of the Apulian band, undoubtedly noteworthy, in which emerge a notable ability to create inspired and imaginative melodies and a meticulous care and competence in the execution and arrangement of the tracks.

Orient Express's debut album Illusion is a strong fusion of psychedelic rock, hard rock, and grunge with notable 70s influences. The band showcases powerful riffs, imaginative melodies, and skilled musicianship, especially in guitar and drums. While some tracks feel repetitive or lose momentum in the second half, the album stands out for its emotional depth and well-crafted arrangements. Illusion offers a noteworthy introduction to this Apulian band's unique 'psycho-rock' style. Listen to Orient Express's Illusion now and dive into their unique psychedelic rock journey!

 "Blindfolded perfectly explains the secret of the Norwegian group's work: simple and original melodies, perfect integration among instruments, superbly constructed vocal harmonies, engaging rhythms, and warm and soothing atmospheres."

 "Go To California are pure delight for the ears, perfect vocal harmonies, enveloping and hypnotic groove, and an instrumental phase in which the Doors musically return to life."

Phanerothyme marks a distinct musical shift for Motorpsycho, embracing a refined, melodic, and psychedelic sound inspired by 60s American rock. The album features diverse instrumentation like strings, banjo, and horns, alongside intricate vocal harmonies. It blends elements of rock, folk, blues, and jazz with originality and intimacy. Notable tracks demonstrate the band's skill in creating evocative atmospheres, making Phanerothyme a must-listen for open-minded fans. Despite early controversy, the album rewards repeated listening with a kaleidoscope of emotions. Listen to Motorpsycho's Phanerothyme and experience a rich blend of psychedelic melodies and emotional depth.

 Ultimately, music sometimes, but without getting too used to it, should not be taken too seriously, and catchy tunes and obsessive refrains are often quite pleasant if crafted with good taste.

 TARM should be taken for what they are, a pleasant musical interlude that does not aspire to be regarded as an art form but engages pleasantly on listening.

This review discusses Tre Allegri Ragazzi Morti's album as a playful yet sincere blend of catchy pop-rock and adolescent lyricism. The band’s use of masks adds an ironic marketable trademark, reflecting Davide Toffolo's artistic vision. Some tracks stand out for their evocative qualities, while others feel weaker. Overall, the album is an enjoyable musical interlude rather than a groundbreaking artistic statement. Discover the unique blend of pop-rock and irony in Tre Allegri Ragazzi Morti’s album – listen now and explore their artistic masks!

 The beginning is dazzling, with a title track of clear progressive brand, in which the eternal Robert Fripp also appears in a very incisive and recognizable way.

 It reveals a much clearer and more personal direction than the alternating and hardly decipherable one of Fear Of A Blank Planet.

Porcupine Tree's EP Nil Recurring presents a coherent and harmonious collection of four tracks that complement their previous album. The EP highlights a refined blend of progressive rock, metal, and psychedelic elements with a more personal and clearer direction. Contributions from Robert Fripp and the experimental approach make this release stand out. The review questions why these quality tracks were excluded from Fear Of A Blank Planet but celebrates their presence here. Listen to Nil Recurring now and explore Porcupine Tree's rich blend of prog and psychedelic sounds!

 Sophia embodies like no one else the charm of melancholy and disorientation.

 After the debut work 'FIXED WATER', Sophia released 'THE INFINITE CIRCLE', an album in which everything is perfect, from the arrangements to the depth of the tracks.

Sophia's album The Infinite Circle marks a significant evolution from Robin Proper-Sheppard's earlier band The God Machine towards a more introspective and emotionally rich sound. Praised for its perfect arrangements, warm melancholic atmosphere, and poetic lyrics, the album captivates listeners with its delicate blend of acoustic and electric elements. Standout tracks like "Directionless," "Woman," and "Bastards" showcase the album's emotional depth and musical craftsmanship. The reviewer highly recommends the album for those seeking a unique and intimate listening experience. Listen to Sophia's The Infinite Circle and experience a deeply emotional musical journey today!

 Fear of the Blank Planet is certainly a much more homogeneous and overall sensible album than the two that preceded it, well played and as usual impeccably produced.

 One day we may be able to say that every stage of the journey was necessary. Maybe.

Fear of the Blank Planet shows Porcupine Tree's technical proficiency and polished production but lacks the emotional intensity of earlier works. While certain tracks like 'My Ashes' and 'Anesthetize' stand out for their creativity and depth, other parts feel calculated or ineffective. The album marks a transitional phase for the band, with renewed keyboard prominence and a blend of progressive and metal influences. Fans may find it less memorable compared to classic albums, though it hints at future potential. Explore Fear of the Blank Planet and discover Porcupine Tree’s evolving soundscape today!
