 "We Are Ever So Clean is the sick fruit of the deviant fantasy of bassist Brian Belshaw and guitarist Brian Goodding."

 "The result is colorful and disorienting, as in the liquid psycho-pop of 'Look At Me, I’m You' and 'Telegram Tuesday', and the sublime masterpiece 'The Remarkable Saga Of The Frozen Dog.'"

 "It's my most sincere and spontaneous work to date."

Ivan Graziani's 1977 album I Lupi represents the peak of his career, combining poetic songwriting with masterful guitar playing. The album features varied themes from melancholic muses to ironic suburban tales. With hits like 'Lugano Addio,' it gained commercial success and critical acclaim. The record blends melodic, dreamy, and intense rock, making it a compelling listen that reveals more depth with every play. Dive into Ivan Graziani’s I Lupi and experience a timeless blend of poetic rock and masterful guitar that defined Italian music.

 The entire work is permeated by that veil of magic that only the Byrds could render so sweetly and melancholically.

 Folk(rock) would rise to the rank of a worthy and recognized musical genre, and rock as a whole would receive a significant contribution to its maturation.

The review highlights The Byrds' formation and rise, emphasizing their innovative blend of folk and rock.

 It is incredible, almost shocking, that there are albums that have remained in the record companies' drawers for years… 35 in the case of this “Rolled Gold”.

 The Summer of Love finds in “Love Is All” a progressive exercise well ahead of its time.

Rolled Gold by The Action is a remarkable 1967 recording shelved for 35 years, blending raw rhythm and blues with soul and British psychedelic pop. The album showcases the band's evolution and experimentation amidst the vibrant 60s London Mod scene. Regarded as a hidden gem, it features tracks that foreshadow later indie and progressive rock styles. Its eventual release in 2002 reveals an inspired band with a clear artistic vision. Explore The Action's Rolled Gold and experience a lost classic of 60s Mod and psychedelic rock now!

 ‘Crudele’ is, in my opinion, one of the greatest psych-garage tracks ever heard on the face of the planet.

 ‘Occhi Di Sole’ is an exercise in Italian melodic beat-pop, with slightly harder sounds than usual, which does not bring the group the hoped-for fame.

The review explores the Italian music market in the 1960s, highlighting Bruno Castiglia E I Bisonti’s single 'Occhi Di Sole b/w Crudele.' While the A-side is a conventional beat-pop track, the B-side 'Crudele' is praised as a top-tier psych-garage masterpiece blending British blues and UK psychedelia with American garage rock energy. The track stands out as an exceptional and overlooked gem. Listen now to Bruno Castiglia E I Bisonti’s rare psych-garage classic ‘Crudele’ and dive into Italy’s vibrant 60s rock scene!

 BANG. A spectacular return to the fire of the past, with sounds closer to 'modern' hardcore and a speed that had increased exponentially.

 They were, are, and will forever be my second family.
