For me, Twin Peaks remains one of the most beautiful series ever released, a great study on the evil that lives within people.

 Here you will find a grand Badalamenti, who enchants with his dark and tremendously sexy jazz.

This review praises Angelo Badalamenti's soundtrack for 'Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me' as a darker, sexier, and more enchanting jazz companion to the series. While some feel the film doesn't match the series, the album surpasses the original Twin Peaks soundtrack. Highlights include soulful saxophone, haunting vocals by Julee Cruise and Jimmy Scott, and iconic themes that deeply connect with fans of David Lynch’s work. Listen to the haunting jazz of Angelo Badalamenti’s Twin Peaks soundtrack and experience the dark beauty of Fire Walk With Me.

 Steven Wilson literally cleaned out the space around him!

 Porcupine Tree’s pieces seem to free themselves from the studio shackle to expand and soar high in the sky.

This review reflects on a vivid live experience at Pistoia Blues 2010 featuring Anathema and Porcupine Tree. While Anathema’s set showed some weaknesses in setlist choice and sound balance, Porcupine Tree delivered a dynamic and memorable performance, especially with Steven Wilson’s commanding stage presence. Highlights include transformative versions of classic tracks and engaging new material from 'The Incident'. Overall, the concert captured both the complexity and emotional depth of these prog rock icons. Discover the magic of Porcupine Tree live and explore their vibrant Pistoia Blues 2010 performance now!

 The album is not immediately assimilated beyond the harmonic arrangements and melodies.

 Lande genuinely seems to deserve the scepter of the heir of the great Ronnie James Dio.

Masterplan's 'Time To Be King' showcases skilled production and powerful melodies but struggles with originality and lyrical depth. Jorn Lande's vocals remain a strong highlight, anchored by Roland Grapow's expert production. While the album offers catchy songs like 'Lonely Winds Of War' and 'The Dark Road,' some tracks lack surprises and originality. The record reflects a shift toward a more relaxed tone, differing from earlier works, creating a mixed experience for listeners. Listen to Masterplan's 'Time To Be King' and explore its mix of powerful melodies and vocal mastery today!

 "'Next To You' has as much in common with the symphony orchestra as chalk and cheese."

 The arrogance is truly a very, very serious sin. Perhaps the worst.

The review critiques Sting's Symphonicities for its unsuccessful symphonic reinterpretation of his songs, especially citing 'Next To You' as mismatched with orchestral style. It highlights Sting's arrogance and poor attitude in interviews around the album. Despite professional packaging, the album lacks soul and fails to resonate emotionally. The reviewer places it among Sting's minor recent works, saving praise only for the 2007 Police tour. Dive into this honest review before exploring Sting's Symphonicities and discover if the symphonic twist suits your taste.

 "Vespertine is, for me, Bjork’s best album."

 "Bjork is a unique artist in her genre, difficult to appreciate but highly enjoyable if listened to 'with the right ears.'"

This review praises Bjork's 'Vespertine' as her best album, highlighting its unique blend of minimalist electronic beats, orchestral arrangements, and emotive vocals. The reviewer points out standout tracks like 'Hidden Place,' 'Undo,' and 'An Echo A Stain,' emphasizing the album's complexity and emotional depth. Recommendations include experiencing Bjork’s 2002 Royal Opera House performances and exploring later works like 'Medúlla.' Overall, the album is described as a challenging but rewarding listen. Listen to Bjork’s Vespertine to experience a unique blend of emotional depth and innovative soundscapes.

 "Baby Blue, a cover borrowed from the genius of Bob Dylan, extended and rarefied, is a psychedelic blues."

 "An album of psychedelic blues, less raga, less exhausting, less lysergic and less fascinating than the previous one, still suffers from mediocre production."

Easter Everywhere by The 13th Floor Elevators presents ethereal, hallucinogenic atmospheres with a blend of psychedelic blues. Standout tracks include the Bob Dylan cover "Baby Blue" and "I Had To Tell You." Despite intriguing songs, the album's production is mediocre and less captivating than its predecessor. Dive into the psychedelic blues journey of Easter Everywhere and experience The 13th Floor Elevators' iconic sound today!

 The genesis of psychedelia is here, in these grooves, in this expanded space filled with luminescent reverberations.

 "Roller Coaster" stands as an ode to lysergic ecstasy with its mind open to decades of future music.

The 13th Floor Elevators' debut album is recognized as the genesis of psychedelia, featuring standout tracks like "You’re Gonna Miss Me" and "Roller Coaster." While some songs highlight innovative sounds and expanded musical spaces, others fall short or feel repetitive. The album's rawness and experimental nature make it more important historically than for its refined quality. Dive into the roots of psychedelia and experience the groundbreaking sounds of The 13th Floor Elevators today!

 Between Midnight proves to be their most successful song, a well-crafted blues ballad, skillfully orchestrated by piano and classical guitar.

 The LP will not succeed in establishing itself in any way, although there are interesting progressive blues incursions not to be underestimated.

Epsilon's self-titled 1971 album mixes blues rock with progressive elements, demonstrating notable musicianship but lacking originality and coherence. The album features interesting covers, such as a reinterpretation of "Paint It Black," and highlights the band's blues potential, especially in the standout track "Between Midnight." Despite its creative ambition, the record suffers from abrupt transitions and confusing arrangements, reflecting the band's early experimentation phase. Discover Epsilon’s unique blend of blues and progressive rock—listen to their 1971 debut and explore a hidden gem of 70s experimentation!

 "An album that... presents some good moments, especially in the more 'afro' parts, but... it doesn’t seem to have any precise direction."

 "The experiment is only half-successful: scratching and rhythms are always the same... the presence of the electric guitar is welcomed with its very -simple- solo."

Herbie Hancock's 1984 album 'Sound System' is a less inspired follow-up to 'Future Shock.' It mixes electronic and afrobeat elements with some standout moments like 'Junku' featuring Senegalese percussion. However, repetitive rhythms and disjointed direction keep it from reaching greatness. Despite strong guests and some good tracks, the album feels uneven and lacks the cohesive innovation of Hancock's best work. Discover Herbie Hancock’s unique 80s fusion sound—listen to 'Sound System' and explore its experimental grooves today!

 Perturbazione appear to be alive and kicking and confirmed for me as one of the best live acts in Italy.

 They continue to chase the 'sense of life' and invite us to enjoy every moment and every aspect of life to the fullest.

This review offers a contemplative and insightful perspective on Perturbazione's live performance at the Neapolis Festival in 2010.

 ‘I have nothing against Il teatro degli orrori, but I sincerely didn’t even intend to suffer so much for an hour and a half of music.’

 ‘Life is still worth living, and those like you, Carlo Cimmino, who do not have the courage to live theirs to the fullest make me disgusted.’

The review reflects on the author’s intended experience of Il Teatro Degli Orrori’s live concert, which never actually happened. It intertwines memories of Italian history, family struggles, and social commentary. The author’s emotional journey overshadows the music itself, ultimately highlighting personal reconciliation more than the performance. Explore Il Teatro Degli Orrori’s music and their powerful live presence alongside a poignant personal tale.

 'Walking In The Park With Eloise' is a pleasant jazz excursion... a joyful and carefree piece with a melody typical of the small jazz bands of the '40s.

 It is one of the many amusements of the eccentric talent of McCartney’s son that were fortunate enough to see the light.

The review highlights 'Walking In The Park With Eloise,' an instrumental jazz track released under The Country Hams name, actually Paul McCartney's Wings. Recorded in Nashville with famed musicians Chet Atkins and Floyd Cramer, the piece is credited to Paul’s father, James McCartney. Despite limited promotion, the joyful 1970s jazz melody stands out as a creative amusement in McCartney's career. The review also touches on the B-side, 'Bridge Over River Suite,' from the Red Rose Speedway sessions. Listen to this rare jazz instrumental by Paul McCartney’s Wings and explore a unique side of his musical legacy!

 "Suffer no guilt is a great album, which could have been a masterpiece if the band hadn’t wanted to overdo it."

 "One of the few doom albums that truly manages to annoy with its six strings."

The Gates of Slumber’s 2006 album 'Suffer No Guilt' continues the raw, slow, and psychedelic doom metal style established in their debut. It features heavy, distorted guitar riffs and atmospheric instrumentals. While ambitious in length and scope, some tracks feel overly long, affecting overall pacing. Despite this, the album is praised as a great, selective masterpiece within the genre. Listen to 'Suffer No Guilt' to experience a raw and epic journey through authentic doom metal!

 Only wind, silence, lights, colors fading into the distance.

It describes the album as an emotional, ambient journey filled with contrasting sounds that evoke deep feelings and contemplation. Track titles suggest themes of loss, reflection, and resilience. The review highly praises the album's atmospheric and evocative qualities. Discover the evocative soundscapes of The Ascent of Everest's album and immerse yourself in this profound musical journey.

 'Draquila', it offends the truth and the entire Italian people!

 May these do-nothings (who said Leeches?) of the pessimistic and judicial left... be cursed!

This review harshly criticizes Sabina Guzzanti’s documentary 'Draquila' for allegedly misrepresenting truth and Italy. It sarcastically condemns the supposed lies about public spending and government actions related to major events and the Umbria earthquake. The reviewer expresses frustration over long-standing political issues and public fund allocations. The tone is deeply ironic and dismissive of the documentary's perspective. Explore the provocative and controversial world of Sabina Guzzanti’s 'Draquila' and decide for yourself the truth behind Italian politics.

 I cared about Joe Strummer. That’s out of question.

 When last Thursday I saw him take the stage with his Carbon/Silicon, I asked myself: is it right that this man has survived his own legend?

The review deeply reflects on the legacy of the Clash, the personal impact of Joe Strummer, and Mick Jones’s current project, Carbon/Silicon. While the live performance was decent, it couldn’t escape comparisons to the iconic past. The author intertwines personal and societal struggles with the experience, highlighting a melancholic yet respectful tone towards punk and modern music culture. The audience’s reaction was mixed, with enthusiasm only during classic Clash songs. Explore Mick Jones’s journey with Carbon/Silicon live and rediscover the evolving spirit of punk rock today.

 The bubbling cauldron of Xenopathic Biocide emits an acrid post-apocalyptic odor, along with disturbing visions of destruction and desolation.

 HeritecH knows very well that there are no limits, and this disc is proof of that.

Heritech's Xenopathic Biocide is an impressive demo showcasing harsh industrial metal rooted in experimental and black metal influences. The project led by Sokaris and Dodd delivers a dystopian soundscape filled with robotic and post-apocalyptic themes. The album emphasizes musical experimentation and deconstruction of song form, appealing to avant-garde and industrial music lovers. It's highly recommended as a gateway into the genre. Dive into Heritech's Xenopathic Biocide and experience boundary-pushing industrial metal today!

 10 minutes of magic.

 An album that creates a corner of peace anytime and anywhere it is played.

This review praises American Football's EP as a brief yet magical listening experience. With just three songs and minimal instrumentation, it evokes nostalgia and creates a peaceful refuge. The reviewer highlights the hypnotic guitar arpeggios and understated drums that maintain perfect dynamism. Despite being overshadowed by the band's LP, this EP remains an overlooked masterpiece with lasting emotional impact. Listen to American Football's EP and immerse yourself in its hypnotic and emotional soundscape today.

 Rarely have I listened to a band capable of playing such damnably winning melodies with such frequency.

 Intriguer is a wonderful album, even superior to its already stellar predecessor.

This review praises Crowded House's 2010 album Intriguer as a superior follow-up to their previous work, highlighting Neil Finn's exceptional songwriting. The album blends sophisticated pop-rock with clear Beatles influences, featuring memorable tracks like "Saturday Sun" and "Amsterdam." Intimate moments and captivating melodies stand out, reaffirming Crowded House's place in the reviewer’s personal music pantheon. Listen to Crowded House's Intriguer now and experience timeless pop-rock excellence!

 "Down On The Upside reflects all of this, acting as the finale of both the most intense season of the decade and one of the bands that best represented it."

 "An album that is qualitatively uneven but overall acceptable as the concluding chapter of their artistic journey and probably of the entire Seattle scene."

Soundgarden's 'Down On The Upside' serves as a reflective close to both the grunge era and the band's high point. Although not essential, the album explores melodic directions with standout tracks like 'Switch Opens' and 'Burden In My Hand.' Internal band conflicts influenced the mix of aggressive and melodic songs, resulting in uneven but overall dignified work. Some tracks feel unnecessary, but the record remains a notable finale. Dive into Soundgarden's 'Down On The Upside' and experience the closing chapter of a grunge legend!
