 "Goat's Head Soup is a great album and deserves to be re-evaluated."

 "It allows appreciation of the Stones' 'softer' side and especially the extraordinary talent of Mick Taylor, a guitarist of extraordinary artistic sensitivity."

This review challenges the common belief that The Rolling Stones' decline began after Exile On Main Street. It praises Goat's Head Soup as a great album with standout ballads like Angie and highlights Mick Taylor's exceptional guitar work. The album's softer sound is linked to Keith Richards' limited involvement due to his drug use. Each track, from funk-infused rock to electric ballads, is carefully examined to reveal overlooked gems. Listen to Goat's Head Soup to discover hidden gems and witness Mick Taylor's masterful guitar work in this classic Rolling Stones album.

 "There is no trace of the corrosive and instinctively vulgar nature of funk, nor of the formal and content-related dirtiness we admire in groups like Funkadelic and Parliament."

 "The extraordinary evocative power of 'La Cova'... a splendid woman trying to enchant us with the sinuosity of her movements and the subtle mischief of her gaze only to leave us longing when she already has us in her grasp."

This Is What We Do by The New Mastersounds presents a polished, stylistic approach to funk, emphasizing musical craftsmanship over raw energy. The instrumental nature creates moments of monotony but highlights standout tracks like 'La Cova' and strong covers. The album is recommended for its listenability and refined production, though some funk purists may find it too mannered. Discover the refined grooves of The New Mastersounds in This Is What We Do—listen now for a fresh instrumental funk experience!

 An album that shows how great musicians are anything but extinct. Especially in Italy.

A Flight Of Fugues by Marco Felicioni and Maurizio Di Fulvio is an exceptional album celebrating the classical fugue form through guitar and flute.

Overall, the album showcases great musicianship and Italian musical vitality, making it a rewarding listen. Explore the brilliant fusion of guitar and flute in A Flight Of Fugues – a must-listen for classical and contemporary music lovers!

 "American Pie" is a tribute to Buddy Holly and, at the same time, a nostalgic reflection on how, after his death, rock 'n roll progressively lost its original and visceral attitude to make people dance and make them happy.

 The problem is that none of the other tracks can match the opening. And this inevitably lowers the overall rating.

The review praises 'American Pie' as an extraordinary tribute to Buddy Holly and a nostalgic reflection on the loss of early rock 'n' roll spirit. The album follows a predominantly country style with mostly acoustic arrangements. However, none of the other tracks match the impact of the title song, leading to a generally uneven experience. Some tracks like 'Vincent' and 'Till Tomorrow' stand out, but the album overall lacks variety and can feel monotonous. Discover the story behind Don McLean's iconic 'American Pie' and explore its classic country-inspired album today!

 "Music For Films remains, in MY very personal perception of things, if not exactly an attempt, as it lacks intentionality, a sort of rough draft."

 "The album indeed presents itself as a mosaic of 18 discontinuous musical fragments, mostly of short duration and very different chromatic tones."

Brian Eno's Music For Films is a mosaic of short, diverse musical fragments with strong cinematic ties. While the music quality is high and evocative, the album feels incomplete and less intentional compared to his later works. Its fragmentary nature makes it an intriguing but ultimately inconclusive effort. Discover the evocative and experimental world of Brian Eno’s Music For Films—listen now and explore its unique cinematic soundscapes!
