In the decade 2000-2010, it is one of the few albums I found with a SOUL. It’s not an album to listen to in the car or while cleaning the house, because this work will leave nothing with you.

Good taste: this is the first term that comes to mind whenever I listen to a record by pianist-keyboardist Philippe Saisse. Music for which lightness is not synonymous with foolishness, and the term 'easy listening', for once, is not synonymous with 'a jumble of insipid sentimentality.'

The impression one gets watching "Paganini" is that the horse (Kinski) has finally broken free from the reins that had so far forced him into a "cinema of others" and that he is finally exercising his artistic freedom with a liberating scream. The plot is a very thin thread, almost non-existent, that links memories, performances, erotic adventures cloaked in violence and unhealthy passion.

Klaus Kinski’s Paganini is an ambitious yet chaotic film where Kinski directs and stars as the obsessive musician Niccolò Paganini. Rejecting standard biography, it unfolds through intense visual and audio effects, erotic and violent scenes, and a shaky narrative. The film is a personal artistic statement rather than a traditional story, showing Kinski’s rebellious spirit after breaking away from Herzog. Despite harsh criticism, it’s a must-watch for fans of Kinski’s raw excess and experimental cinema. Dive into Klaus Kinski's intense and unrestrained Paganini – watch and experience a wild artistic journey beyond conventional cinema.

Having five jazz stars is not enough to create magic. I never thought I would use this adjective for a Miles record, but I can honestly say that this is an album for completists.

The 14 tracks are listened to in one breath at the pace of wild violins, percussion, guitars, and accordion accompanied by the shouts of a mustachioed leader who surely enjoys himself and entertains. I am not at all interested in evaluating the musical quality of the work in purely technical terms ... but rather what I wanted to emphasize is the enjoyment associated with listening to an album that, in my opinion, is well orchestrated.

Ann Wilson is a true legend in the USA: stunning timbre, frightening power and range, proverbial temperament and generosity. Heart cannot be considered an elite formation in AOR due to their poor songwriting aptitude and tendency to stylistically lean on models already developed by others.

From the first track 'WORDLESS KNOWLEDGE', you are projected into a black-folk context, whose sweet scent arises from a land whose dense mists, black as pitch, black as hate, come from the deep darkness of the most gloomy forest. An album whose mysterious atmospheres at times magical manage to transport you to ancient forests and pagan myths that draw essence from their own lands.

Such a new enticing radioactive delicacy, the ninth album in almost forty years of a declining career, undoubtedly adds little (but subtracts nothing) to what was already known about Them. The effect it produces presents the same reactions that an unexpected encounter with an old (evidently not entirely extinguished) flame might engender.

Torn the veil of Maya, he discovers that beneath it there is nothing, less than nothing. But he enjoys that nothing, and with furious joy, because it is the only real thing.

From the guitar, deliberately placed in the background to DeFeis’s vocals: impeccable, to be sure, but far from the explosive force of the past years. Visions of Eden cannot be fully considered a metal album, but rather as an orchestral work, pompous with some power/heavy inserts here and there.
