Dmitri Shostakovich Sinfonia n° 7 "Leningrado" • by Grasshopper

The boiled child in the Chinese style, as is well known, is a delicacy that a true Fool, to be such, must indulge in at least occasionally. But we know its digestibility is certainly not the best, so don't be surprised if after the succulent meal we are overcome b…

Flaming Lips Telepathic Surgery • by freakout

Let's start with a fact: this is the best album by the Flaming Lips. Enthusiasts of the group have waited in vain for almost two decades to hear an album from our beloved freakout (yes indeed!) from Oklahoma that possessed the same monumental solidity. Despite following the band in it…

Woven Hand Consider The Birds • by AR (Anonima Recensori)

David Eugene Edwards, the charismatic frontman of 16 Horsepower, during his band's current sabbatical, releases his second solo album, a work so dark, intense, and thrilling that it's been a long time since something like this has been heard.

Stormy Six Un Biglietto del Tram • by Zio Burba

This is a record from the '70s. It's a political record. It's a left-wing record. Exactly. "Un Biglietto del Tram" is one of the highest examples of "political rock" ever produced in Italy. (Elsewhere in Europe it was called "Rock In Opposition" and Stormy Six are fully part of th…

The God Machine Scenes From The Second Storey • by tia

So, if someone were to ask me: "what is the album you would take with you forever?" Well, that album would certainly be the one I'm about to describe below. I won't hide from you that there are many other albums that have filled my heart and shaped my ears…

Bronski Beat The Age of Consent • by The Punisher

Here's a great album that has become a true icon of the gay world and beyond. Released in the mid-'80s, the album for the first time combined the carefree spirit of the '80s disco music with themes dear to that timid group (gay? perverts? queers? oh dear, what now?) tha…

Kraftwerk Computer World • by Eneathedevil

It has probably happened to everyone to wake up at five in the morning for an important work appointment, to have a nice grooming session in the bathroom at home and -oh dear- carelessly let slip from your hand the precious Rexona soap intended for your face; well, curses an…

The Pop Group Y • by Gonzo

"Well, in front of us we have the greatest pop group of all time, madonna took lessons from them, britnei spiarrrss had her boobs done by them (maybe she wasn't even born yet?), even cristina akilera was jumping on the bed naked with a track by the pop group playing?"…

Claudio Coccoluto iMusic Selection • by Eneathedevil

Or: "House Music in Italy," or "Hierarchy and Heterogenesis of Musical Styles," or "Fundamental Rules for Not Writing a Review." So, aside from the fact that between serious and facetious musical distinctions, many have been made, not infrequently even around here, let's dot the i's to avoid any kind o…

Atari Teenage Riot Burn, Berlin, Burn! • by francis

I won't be brief. When I ordered this album from my (then) trusted store, I had just turned 17. It was 1997, at the height of the chemical beats wave: artists like Prodigy, Goldie, Chemical Brothers, Massive Attack, Portishead, and Tricky were producing one amazing album after another, and lookin…

Area Maledetti (Maudits) • by puntiniCAZpuntini

Demetrio Stratos is and will remain the singer with the greatest vocal gifts of all time. A.R.E.A. are and will remain one of the best bands of all time, as well as the Best Italian Band of all time, the best, without a doubt, but I mean in general, no…

Juggaknots Clear Blue Skies (Re:Release) • by ZiOn

It's difficult to define an album like "Clear Blues Skies" by Juggaknots in just one word. Alongside the word "masterpiece," you must necessarily add an adjective: "forgotten."

UNKLE Psyence Fiction • by puntiniCAZpuntini

The beauty of machines is that you can do whatever the heck you want with them, if you know how to push them to the limit. Dj Shadow has Valfrutta as a last name, there isn't a pink grapefruit that can withstand him, he squeezes relentlessly. Of course, always i…

Make-Up In Mass Mind • by NickGhostDrake

Dangerous genetic crossbreed between a fierce suburban punk and a hysterical glam-rock queen, Ian Svenonius is universally recognized as the most extreme and incorruptible frontman of the Washington D.C. hardcore scene, a mad human machine where the most radical elements of rock & roll history collide without resolution: hymns t…
