Aerith

 one of the most extraordinary voices Italy has had the fortune to hear in the last twenty years

 a ten (and thus five stars) should be reserved for masterpieces and hence I don’t feel like giving it (as far as Quintorigo is concerned, their best album in my opinion is In Cattività)

Quintorigo's 1999 album Rospo features extraordinary vocals by John DeLeo and a blend of funky, jazz, and instrumental tracks. Highlights include the haunting saxophone-led 'Nero Vivo' and a unique cover of Bowie's 'Heroes.' The album is praised as one of the best Italian jazz works in over a decade. Listen to Quintorigo’s Rospo and experience Italian jazz like never before!

 Violante Placido intends to make music seriously and, regardless of taste, this seems to be an established fact.

 This album might... be a beautiful background for a car drive for two by the sea.

Viola’s debut album 'Don't Be Shy...' delivers an intimate and tender pop experience with a strong emphasis on acoustic guitar and dreamy atmospheres. Violante Placido, known for her cinematic background, approaches music seriously, backed by indie production and former Giuliodorme members. The album recalls artists like Suzanne Vega and Carmen Consoli but maintains its own ethereal charm. Though still developing strength and sensuality, this first work is commendable and worthy of encouragement. Listen to Violante Placido's heartfelt debut album and experience her unique blend of intimate and ethereal pop.

 Psychedelia take me away!

 The CD opens with perhaps the two most catchy songs, with clear country influences, and proceeds with very elegant and decidedly more psychedelic tracks.

Jennifer Gentle's third album Valende impresses with its rich psychedelic sound, blending gothic atmospheres and country influences. The well-crafted music features unique instrumentation like xylophones and violins, enhanced by whispering vocals. The band’s DIY spirit shines through their self-produced release, making it a standout within Italy’s music scene. A recommended listen for fans of experimental and psychedelic rock. Dive into Jennifer Gentle's Valende and experience psychedelic rock mixed with gothic and country influences. Listen now!

 A keen listener cannot help but appreciate his delicate way of narrating life and pain, and his frankness and anger in his (endless) protest songs.

 The album includes all his most famous tracks, but special mentions go to the poignant interpretation of 'Canzone quasi d’amore' and the exceptional trio 'Eskimo,' 'Incontro,' and 'Vedi Cara.'

This review highly recommends 'Fra la via Emilia e il West' as the ideal album to appreciate Francesco Guccini’s unique style. The live performances showcase his passionate voice and poetic storytelling, overcoming any musical flaws. Key tracks like 'Canzone per un'amica' and 'Locomotiva' highlight his emotional depth and political insight. Overall, an essential listen for those wanting to understand Guccini. Listen to Francesco Guccini’s passionate live album and experience the poetic force of his timeless songs!

 From the very first track, you understand you’re dealing with a masterpiece: Eroi nel Vento is a true statement of intent.

 You’re left there still, reflecting on the journey around the world in eight tracks that is this album... and wondering what could have happened afterward.

This review highly praises Litfiba's debut album Desaparecido as a definitive and beautiful work in their discography. It highlights the album's diversity in atmosphere and themes, from dark gothic elements to dreamy and far-reaching musical journeys. The reviewer admires Pelù's vocal performance and expresses frustration over the band's later direction. Overall, the album is regarded as a masterpiece that leaves the listener deeply moved. Listen to Litfiba's Desaparecido today and experience a timeless rock journey!

 It’s like breathing stagnant air... but letting yourself be taken by Manuel’s voice... you realize that in that melancholy you feel good after all.

 The title track is the perfect synthesis of the album: between rock influences and decidedly darker tracks.

This review of Afterhours' Ballate Per Piccole Iene highlights the album's melancholic and dark tone, which initially challenges listeners but ultimately rewards with deep emotional resonance. Manuel's voice and lyrics are praised as central elements that help the listener embrace the gloom. Standout tracks like 'La sottile linea bianca' and the title track exemplify the band's evolving style. Dive into Afterhours’ melancholic journey—listen to Ballate Per Piccole Iene and explore its emotional depths now!

 The most beautiful track on the album is the closing one: A Day In The Life is perhaps one of the most beautiful and modern songs by the Beatles.

 She’s Leaving Home still manages to move me, blending perfectly in the myriad of bright lights and colors of the album.

This debut review praises The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band as a creative high point alongside their other classic albums. The reviewer highlights memorable tracks such as 'Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds,' 'With a Little Help From My Friends,' and especially the closing masterpiece, 'A Day In The Life.' The album's blend of diverse song styles and emotional depth cements it as an indispensable classic that shaped modern music. Discover why Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band remains a timeless masterpiece—listen now and explore its enduring magic!
