 "When a side project surpasses the main project: why not continue?"

 "You can’t really expect much from an album of remixes and 'B' or 'G' sides."

Gorillaz's G-sides album compiles remixes and rare tracks from the band’s debut era. While some remixes like '19-2000' shine, others lose the polish of originals. The album appeals mostly to collectors and die-hard fans of Damon Albarn. The reviewer suggests a return to Albarn's earlier work with Blur for greater impact. Dive into Gorillaz's G-sides to discover rare remixes and deep cuts—perfect for true fans and collectors!

 "Finally, something fresh, witty, and ironic without overdoing it, without radically distancing themselves from the past."

 "You can tell it’s them even though the sitar and Indian instruments that made them famous are scarce. But what a zest for life they emanate!!"

Cornershop’s Handcream For A Generation stands out as a fresh, witty album that balances new sounds with their established style. While Indian instruments are less prominent, the album channels retro disco and indie influences. It skillfully references past hits without becoming trivial. Despite one reggae-style track that feels out of place, the album radiates energy and originality. Dive into Cornershop’s Handcream For A Generation and experience fresh indie vibes with a retro twist!

 A non-trivial ensemble of instruments and sounds, for this genre called nu-asian cool.

 A London DJ and a musician from Bombay have put together a masterpiece.

Badmarsh & Shri's album Signs is praised as a unique and high-class blend of ethnic and modern sounds, representing the nu-asian cool genre. The collaboration between a London DJ and a Bombay musician creates an engaging musical journey with varied instruments like sitar and drum machine. Despite a criticized cover of James Brown's 'Get Up,' the album is highly recommended for a diverse music collection. Listen to Badmarsh & Shri's Signs and experience the perfect fusion of ethnic and electronic sounds today!

 It’s a bad record, there’s no denying it, full of so many typical Garbage trademarks such as peculiar sampling, numerous useless percussion noises, melodic pieces, and then the big guitar comes in.

 Billy Corgan’s theory is confirmed: after the third album, a band has little to add.

The review criticizes Garbage's 'Beautiful Garbage' for lacking originality and being a bad album overburdened with typical Garbage trademarks. It suggests that the band has little left to offer after their third album, confirming a theory by Billy Corgan. While some tracks are noted as decent, the overall impression is negative. Read the full review and decide if Garbage's 'Beautiful Garbage' lives up to your expectations or falls short.

 A really nice album with an ancient yet different flavor, that subtle thread of widespread melancholy that paradoxically keeps you company.

 You listened to it imagining rainy Irish landscapes or the cliffs of Normandy. That beautiful and healthy solitude that every man should be able to enjoy from time to time.

The review praises JJ72's self-titled album as a beautifully melancholic indie rock record with echoes of PJ Harvey and other notable bands. It highlights its intense yet light feel, evoking imagery of Irish landscapes. The album delivers a unique mix of darkness and zest, making it a compelling listen. The reviewer reflects on the album’s mysterious and lasting impression. Listen to JJ72’s debut album and experience its haunting melodies and emotional depth today!

 It was the third time I’d seen them... and it was the best.

 Originality is not their strongest suit, but I liked them.

The reviewer enjoyed Stereophonics' live show in Milan, appreciating the venue's acoustics and visibility. The concert featured a diverse setlist from their albums, enhanced by additional session musicians. While not groundbreaking, the band's solid sound and performance impressed the reviewer. Familiarity with their earlier shows added to the appreciation. Discover Stereophonics' powerful live presence—listen to their Milan 2002 performance now!

 Dark atmospheres, one imagines East Berlin, colored lights and mathmos lamps.

 More than an album, it seems like a mnemonic journey through both near and distant memories together.

Lali Puna's Scary World Theory is a high-quality minimalist electronica album from Munich. It evokes dark, nostalgic atmospheres with a distinct German accent in English vocals. The music draws comparisons to Stereolab, Yo La Tengo, and Mouse on Mars, featuring memorable tracks with unique rhythms. This album offers a mnemonic journey through memories and is highly recommended. Listen to Lali Puna's Scary World Theory and experience minimalist electronica that captivates and inspires.

 Chills guaranteed.

 I recommend the poignant 'Untitled', a ballad with syncopated rhythms as only Jimi Chamberlin can do.

This review recommends Smashing Pumpkins' 'Rotten Apples' primarily for collectors due to its 18 unreleased tracks that shine. While the chosen hits from early albums are criticized, standout tracks like 'Untitled' and 'Rock On' provide a compelling reason to own the album. The sound reminiscent of 'Siamese Dreams' adds to its appeal. Overall, a 4/5 rating is given, based mostly on the unreleased content. Explore Smashing Pumpkins' Rotten Apples and experience rare tracks perfect for true fans and collectors!

 "An easy phrase for an equally simple group."

 "This timeless album lacks the originality necessary to make it stand out."

Tahiti 80's Puzzle is a pleasant and timeless indie pop album from France, showing originality in its geographic origin. However, it ultimately lacks the flair and innovation seen in contemporaries. The album is easy to listen to but does not stand out in the crowded vintage-inspired music scene. Listen to Tahiti 80's Puzzle to experience a timeless indie pop sound and decide if it resonates with your vintage music taste.

 Listening to the tracks of this album takes you back to the previous Microchip Emozionale, which was definitely more successful.

 From garbage, you often manage to obtain something with a new form, a bit like with plastic, compost, biogas...

Subsonica's third album, Amorematico, stands out within the Italian music scene for its unique blend of technopop and atmospheric sounds. While it recalls the more successful Microchip Emozionale, tracks like Nuvole Rapide, Albascura, and Sole Silenzioso deliver noteworthy moments. The collaboration with Krisma on Nuova Ossessione adds intrigue. The album evokes early 1980s Italian technopop nostalgia, balancing traditional instruments with electronic elements. Overall, it is recognized as a solid, innovative work deserving appreciation. Discover the unique sound of Subsonica's Amorematico—listen now and explore its Italian technopop roots!
