 A rhythmic foundation structured with drum machine and bass, enveloping and monolithic metal riffing, practically a kind of metal-core declined in an industrial sense.

 One of the most astonishing cases of major record label snobbery.

 Not much [light] to be honest, faint light barely perceptible, nothing to do with the warm sun of Santa Monica Bay or the colorful sunsets of Long Beach.

 In the end, L.A. (Light Album) is not overall a bad record; it’s better than its predecessor but shows a group now at the end of their artistic journey.

The Beach Boys' L.A. (Light Album) released in 1979 shows a band in decline, struggling to maintain their classic sound. The album contains some pleasant moments like "Good Timin'" and "Sumahama," but overall lacks the vibrancy of their earlier work. Brian Wilson's involvement is minimal, and internal issues affect the group's cohesion.

 An album whose insights will prove successful in the years to come, it’s just a pity that the duo didn’t continue down this path.

Tournesol's 1995 album Moonfunk marks a shift from their earlier ambient-techno style toward a more experimental and subdued soundscape.

Despite its innovative qualities, Moonfunk remains underrated but essential for fans of 90s electronic music. Explore Tournesol's Moonfunk for a deep dive into 90s experimental electronic soundscapes!

 The emotions are missing; the emotional events that could heighten the viewer’s level of attention are missing.

 Willem Dafoe’s performance stands out, authoritarian yet at the same time a man of common sense, ‘softened’ by the place in which he is forced to live.

Steve Buscemi’s Animal Factory is a faithful adaptation of Edward Bunker’s novel, focusing on prison life and the bond between two inmates. While the film presents a coherent narrative and strong performances—especially by Willem Dafoe—it lacks emotional depth and impact. The story unfolds more like a documentary on prison conditions, missing the emotional engagement to elevate it. Overall, it’s a consistent but restrained portrayal of life behind bars. Watch Animal Factory to see a raw prison drama with strong performances and a faithful story adaptation.
