Our Solar System In Time • by sotomayor

You don't need to be Alfred Einstein to form your own idea about the concepts of space and time. I don't know much about physics, the science tasked with studying matter and how it occupies and relates to the concepts of space and time. In fact, as strange as i…

[anonymous] This Actually Happened: Roky Erickson & GG Allin, Dallas, 1992 • by sotomayor

I already knew this photo, which portrays two of the most controversial and certainly influential figures in the history of rock 'n' roll. Nonetheless, I was struck by a comment, a kind of subtitle, that I found accompanying one of the various reproductions around the web: 'This Actually Happened.' …

Brand X Masques • by dsalva

Third album, the first without Phil Collins who will return to the lineup in the subsequent "Product." So, without Phil, and honestly, his timbre seems to be missing, an atypical rhythm for a typically rock drummer who, in Brand X's early works, had "created" a stunning rhythm section alongside th…

Gojira Magma • by KeithManson

I approached listening to the new Gojira album with great caution, almost with distrust. Not because I expected a sudden drop from the French cousins, but because the reviews I read in the days leading up to its release were strongly conflicting: they ranged from enthusiastic tones of relatively superficia…

Albert Ayler Trio Spiritual Unity • by lector

It was thanks to that strange half-white beard that they recognized him. He had disappeared for twenty days. They fished him out of the icy waters of the East River, in Brooklyn, in front of the Congress Street pier. It was November 25, 1970.

Dead Procession Rituais E Mantras Do Medo • by Buzzin' Fly

Lovecraftian doom universe. A malignant leaden universe celebrates itself in pagan rituals, incestuous embrace with Celtic formulas, faceless Gregorian spirits, inquisitorial cruelty.

Slipknot Slipknot • by egr

Official debut of Slipknot, the most over-the-top of the so-called nu metal bands. Reportedly inspired by Slayer, Sepultura, Kiss, Fear Factory, Biohazard, Korn, and Deftones, the guys with the noose offer the general public a new form of non-music, consisting largely of guitar riffs, fast drumming, and bursts of electronics…

Crazy Town The Gift of Game • by egr

In 1999, at the dawn of nu metal, the almost legitimate heirs of the Beastie Boys made their debut. The two leaders, rookie rappers, failed to break through in their genre, and thus they reimagined in a postmodern way the insights of late 1980s American rock. All the songs fro…

David Bowie The rise and fall of Ziggy Stardust and the spiders from Mars • by Pierock

We like to remember him in the embodiment of his most successful persona, in the most brilliant of his many and creative disguises. At the peak of his artistic and commercial success, Mr. David Robert Jones (aka David Bowie) was Ziggy Stardust, literally "Ziggy Stardust," the protagonist of this albu…

Nick Drake Which Will • by luludia

there's a little monkey clinging to the handle of a guitar...and there are several guitars...so the little monkey hops from one to another...it's a strange little monkey indeed, with an even stranger cat-like fur and a weasel-like face...and it doesn't make funny faces...and it has the bewildered look of a…

A dull morning. Wednesday. The day with the longest name, mind you, even surpassing "Sunday" in letters. Sunday tedium...

Niccolò Fabi Una somma di piccole cose • by SleepTwitch

After "Il padrone della festa" with the musical project Fabi-Silvestri-Gazzè, and related tour, the three have returned to releasing albums individually (notably mirroring the trio's name: Gazzè-Silvestri-Fabi). In April, "Una somma di piccole cose" by Niccolò Fabi was released, consisting of nine new tracks (including a cover "Le cose no…
