 Somewhere Else still remains an album capable of giving wonderful sensations.

This review reflects on Marillion's 2007 album Somewhere Else as a deeply emotional and memorable work. The reviewer recalls a personal journey tied to the album's music. Despite being overshadowed by later releases, the album remains beautiful and evocative. It is recommended for Marillion fans and dreamers alike. The reviewer found it even more impressive upon revisiting. Listen to Somewhere Else and rediscover Marillion's timeless, emotional journey today.

 The change of pace is clear, a sudden farewell to the extravagances and fun antics of Relaxiana in favor of a more linear sound.

 It seems that the group did not have the necessary depth to embark on a longer career and, after the first fortunate success, soon found themselves with nothing left to offer.

Frankie Goes to Hollywood's second album Liverpool delivers a decent collection of nervy rock tracks but fails to match the success and charm of their debut. The band transitions from extravagant fun to a more linear sound with less imagination. Internal tensions and the lack of a strong lead single contributed to the album's underwhelming impact. Despite its flaws, the album represents an important, if final, chapter of the band's legacy. Discover Frankie Goes to Hollywood's bold yet imperfect Liverpool album – listen and explore the band's final chapter!

 In this seemingly irrelevant album lies all the philosophy of the Stones, ten tracks literally "sucked" from the seventies and poured onto a record without any apparent logic.

 Nostalgia gives value to everything even to boring days even to a record bought at the bus stop.

This review reflects on The Rolling Stones' 1981 compilation 'Sucking in the Seventies,' a mixed bag of tracks from 1974 to 1980. Despite being an imperfect collection, it captures the band's attempts to reinvent themselves during a challenging decade. The album evokes a strong sense of nostalgia, connecting music with personal memories and the passage of time. Though not the band's best work, it holds value for fans and collectors as a snapshot of their 70s era. Dive into the Stones' 70s era with this unique compilation—listen now and experience the nostalgia!

 Lucio, somehow, managed to enter every home.

 Lucio was a bit like one of the family, everyone knew everything about him without ever having bought anything, a great man.

This review reflects on Lucio Battisti’s pervasive presence in Italian homes, highlighting his 1977 album 'Io Tu Noi Tutti.' The album blends love themes with everyday life, showcasing Battisti's enduring appeal despite his less introspective later phase. The author shares personal nostalgic memories tied to the music, noting the quality of musicianship and Battisti’s briefly attempted international exposure. Dive into the heartfelt sounds of Lucio Battisti’s 'Io Tu Noi Tutti' and experience a timeless Italian musical journey.

 At 14 you really learn to appreciate all music, even that of the Pooh, because, in the end, life is still guiding you by the hand.

 We would immediately rush to the beach, to count the friends already arrived and check out the new records in the jukebox, the ones that would accompany you all summer long.

The review vividly recalls summer memories tied to the Pooh album 'Stop,' highlighting the cultural and emotional backdrop of 1970s Italian beach resorts. It reflects on the innocence of youth and the importance of music in shaping early experiences. Despite a modest rating, the reviewer appreciates Pooh's influence as a summer soundtrack companion. The review also lists the album's tracks and band lineup for context. Listen to Pooh's 'Stop' and relive the nostalgic summer vibes of 1970s Italy!

 Novella is indeed another tale that seems to come from the past, almost a re-edition of their debut album.

 A work with some flaws but decidedly courageous, with which the band once again embraces their relatively small audience with unspoiled purity.

Renaissance’s 1977 album Novella showcases their dedication to progressive rock despite changing musical trends. The album features refined piano-led arrangements and strong vocal performances by Annie Haslam. While it contains some flaws, standout tracks like 'Midas Man' highlight the band's courage and artistic purity. This album appeals to dedicated fans and progressive rock enthusiasts alike. Dive into Renaissance’s Novella and experience a timeless progressive rock journey full of passion and artistry.

 Passpartù, with its enveloping, entirely instrumental title track, was nonetheless a turning point album and as such worthy of consideration.

 Everything moves in an evocative atmosphere rich in irony, a tangle of surreal stories well illustrated by Andrea Pazienza’s drawings, which make this work a sort of real comic album.

Passpartù stands as a notable turning point in Premiata Forneria Marconi's career despite challenges like personnel changes and label issues. The album blends instrumental mastery, collaborations, and surreal storytelling, enriched by evocative artwork. It reflects a light, honest, and irreplaceable chapter in Italian progressive rock, leading the band toward a renewed sound in the 1980s. Discover the unique sound and surreal stories of Passpartù – listen now and dive into a pivotal chapter of Italian prog rock!

 Dave Sinclair reintroduces their classic unmistakable sounds within a slightly more modern and well-blended sound.

 If you are attached, like me, to the land of pink and grey, you might as well forget about this work but always leave a little spot among their discs in case you happen to come across it.

Back to Front is Caravan's 1982 album reflecting a transition period with some classic elements and a modern touch. The original lineup reunited but the album never fully captured the band's earlier magic. Key tracks include 'Back to Herne Bay Front' and 'Proper Job'. While it may not be a must-have for all fans, it remains a worthwhile listen for enthusiasts of the band and era. Listen to Caravan’s Back to Front and discover an underrated classic of '80s progressive rock!

 It is an excellent record released, however, at the wrong time.

 An opportunity missed, therefore, that could, however, represent a pleasant discovery for those who have the fortune to find a copy.
