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…

Alva Noto Transform • by CosmicJocker

Trying to remodulate my blunt status as a mammal, I wandered through the woods with "Transform" on my headphones.

Nirvana Bleach • by masturbatio

I gaze fixedly at a detail: the iridescence at the top right of an opal that at the moment is emerald green. The jewel depicts two little fish diving vertically into the precious stone set in silver.

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…

Ibibio Sound Machine Electricity • by ZiOn

I'll be honest, after listening to Electricity by the Ibibio Sound Machine, I couldn't help but exclaim: "Finally." After the post-dubstep hangover (and I'd even say post-everything), leaving behind some pretentious experiments, these Twenties of the Third Millennium are standing out for a greater concreteness from a musical point o…

Eugène Ionesco La Cantatrice Calva • by CosmicJocker

I have always suspected that the label "Theatre of the Absurd" is nothing more than a typical bourgeois invention designed to protect against those who speak of truths.

Esthero Breath From Another • by ZiOn

If the experiments of Kraftwerk and synth-pop made electronics popular, it was nevertheless in the 1990s that we witnessed a spread of these sounds. Technological evolution favored the birth of the so-called “new sounds” (as they were classified in a store where I squandered my savings); these last ones challenge…

Alessandro Cortini Avanti • by gabbox

In the ideal condominium of contemporary electronic composers, Alessandro Cortini would occupy the penthouse with a sea view. An open space designed to measure a gradient wave from white to black and vice versa. A personal space resulting from years of music in the service of others. From Nine Inc…

Umberto Saba Trieste e una Donna • by CosmicJocker

Poetry is a grand bar overflowing with dubious characters as envious as teenagers, touchy as dwarves, and rambling like old sailors.

Luchino Visconti Il Gattopardo • by joe strummer

Some classics only require the courage to start them. Because sometimes the status can be intimidating, if not off-putting. However, once you've taken that first step over the threshold, they demonstrate why they have assumed such a rare and coveted title. They speak to an eternal present, not just becaus…

Cluster Cluster II • by Cervovolante

It might not be a coincidence that the cover of Krautrocksampler by Julian Cope is dedicated to Cluster II. As rightly noted by Cope, "Cluster II is very similar to the early Suicide, and it's really hard to imagine that Alan Vega and Martin Rev weren't inspired by this musi…

Harold Budd, Simon Raymonde, Robin Guthrie & Elizabeth Fraser The Moon and the Melodies • by Eneathedevil

Watch Liz's mouth while she sings. Watch it and pay attention: the vibrato of the strings that extends like a timid tremor on the lips is the doorway through which the soul breathes. Liz Fraser bears the stigmata of divinity. She is destined to be awarded the most precious recognition…

Religious Knives Remains • by CosmicJocker

Among the many, too many doubts that trouble my days, there is, indeed, one certainty that always stands on the horizon: a blowjob (well done) is one of the few, very few pleasures in life without contraindications.
