Steve Roach What Remains • by Cervovolante

The landscape of ambient music has long been objectively saturated. We are overwhelmed by products that are very similar to each other, often lacking the sacred fire of inspiration. In many cases, we are faced with poor imitations of artists of a much greater caliber. One of these is undoubtedl…

David Cronenberg Crimes of the Future • by joe strummer

The scalpel that cuts through flesh, probes among the internal organs, severs. An ostentatious, obscene pain, with a sweet metallic taste of blood, a forbidden pleasure and therefore irresistible. In the future, man no longer knows how to feel pain; he is paralyzed in his frantic search for pleasure, whic…

Max Pezzali Il mondo insieme a te • by rafssru

After closing the 883 saga with Love/Life, which bore both the name Max Pezzali and 883, the only musical group composed of a single member dissolves, leaving, indeed, the only member. The first fruit of Max as a songwriter is Il mondo insieme a te, but the result of thi…

Daft Punk Human After All • by Omega Kid

At launch in the distant 2005, I immediately thought that Human After All was a gigantic trolling, to be honest, not even too entertaining, with prototypical tracks probably discarded from Discovery and based on a 10-second idea looped for 5 minutes. It was also an album that, despite the unprecedente…

Italo Svevo La Coscienza Di Zeno • by CosmicJocker

The key is provided by Zeno himself in the concluding chapter: “una confessione in iscritto è sempre menzognera. Con ogni nostra parola toscana noi mentiamo!”

George Michael Twenty Five • by Abraham

He died on Christmas Day, and probably smiled. That sly smile, with a face begging for a slap of aristocratic beauty. He wanted to be alone, sought and claimed solitude: if he had been born in Italy he would have become Lucio Dalla.

Biosphere Substrata • by ZiOn

To review an album like Substrata, I believe a good way to start is by looking at the cover image. White prevails, a color that evokes an immense frozen or snowy expanse; in the box at the center, however, distant, immovable mountains stand out, overshadowed by a clear blue sky.

Biosphere Cirque • by ZiOn

The most adventurous DeBaseriani will have organized, at least once, a trip to the regions of the far Northern Europe, namely in those lands characterized by a cold climate and endless winters, marked by the long polar night.

Leo Leandro Caramella • by ZiOn

The Sanremo Festival, as mentioned on other occasions, resembles a seaport, or perhaps a train station that has seen a bit of everything pass through its doors: tracks that have made Italian music history, enigmatic songs like "Sette fili di canapa" by Mario Castelnuovo (probably written after consuming numerous dose…

Vincenzo Capirola Libro di intavolature per liuto • by asterics

Time has almost completely faded the fresco in the cloister, leaving here and there only patches of red and blue. Below, ghosts of arches and gardens. Shapes of trees are recognizable and, still blue, a peacock. Above, small alcoves lined up have each been containing the shimmer of a sta…

Grimes Miss Anthropocene • by ZiOn

During your Internet browsing, between a photo of a scantily clad starlet and a news article, you may have come across the word Anthropocene. If so, great, you already know what it's about; for everyone else, it might be helpful to remember that the term "Anthropocene" has been proposed b…

Depeche Mode Songs of Faith and Devotion • by Dislocation

A summary might allow us to finally revisit the mass logistics that typically govern the qualitative stratifications of trovadorism, as well as imply other and more varied trends aimed at leaving unchanged and immobile the intrinsic motivations that, akin to the work of modern spin doctors, bestow quality upon th…

Christopher Nolan Following • by GullaryShulmann

The majority of self-proclaimed aficionados of Christofer Nylon, when they gush about their favorite films, complete with backstories and nerdy conjectures (Nolan's fans are as charming as the niche fanatics of progressive rock, they belong to the same evolutionary branch), never, absolutely never mention Following, his first feature-length film (7…

Liam Gallagher Live @ Etihad Stadium, Manchester 01.06.22 • by Valentyna

Writing the review of this concert will not be easy. First, because I've never written one before, and second, because emotions and feelings are difficult for me to translate into text. How does one do it? I'll try to be pragmatic and recount the evening. This concert is the rightfu…

Hawkwind Quark Strangeness and Charm • by Eneathedevil

The real problem is that I'm realizing I've lost all my bearings. A few years ago, there was the "ringtone guy" who tirelessly promoted the trashy ringtone "Materazzi has fallen" following the World Cup victory, and in no time, I see him there on a Ligurian beach, a bit bulkie…
