 The Three Mile Pilot was the rock afflicted by agoraphobia, dark and suffocating from the Pacific Coast.

Three Mile Pilot breaks a 12-year silence with their new single Planets, showcasing a softer sound influenced by Zach Smith's Pinback style. The review highlights the band's evolution while maintaining dark and complex musical roots under Pall Jenkins. Accompanied by 'Grey Clouds', the single gives hope for their announced 2010 album.

 The disappointment from the first listen was strong, and the impression that this album had very little to do with the band’s glorious past was significant.

 ‘As The Light Does The Shadow’ is an uninspired, grinding, and weakly prolix album.

This review critically assesses Funeral's 2008 album 'As The Light Does The Shadow,' expressing strong disappointment compared to their previous work. It highlights uninspired songwriting, lackluster vocals, and a slow, grinding pace. Despite robust production and a notable guest appearance by Robert Lowe, the album lacks cohesion and fails to capture the band's former artistic impact. Explore Funeral's evolution and decide if 'As The Light Does The Shadow' resonates with you—listen and judge their 2008 release yourself.

 When the group started playing half an hour late, all my doubts and concerns about the intensity of their performance evaporated.

 These Deep Purple gave us a great concert... Not everyone can play like this, especially considering the age of the band members.

The review recounts a surprising and excellent Deep Purple concert in Jesolo, 2009. Despite initial doubts, the band delivered a powerful two-hour set with classic hits and energetic performances. Ian Gillan showed resilience in his vocals, while each band member displayed strong musicianship. The reviewer particularly praised Steve Morse but felt Don Airey's style was less convincing. Overall, the concert demonstrated the band's enduring skill and vitality. Discover the power of Deep Purple live—listen to their Jesolo 2009 performance now!

 The Vaselines will never make history. But they leave a mark inside and are not easily forgotten.

 Their sugarcoated melody is as popular as that of potential fifteen-year-old The Pastels.

The Vaselines' only full-length album 'Dum-Dum' (1989) showcases a raw, naïve indie pop sound filled with teenage frustration and fuzzy melodies. Despite lacking originality or classic status, the album captures post-punk references and emotional honesty. Their brief initial run ended before they gained notoriety, but their reunion in 2006 shows lasting appeal. This collection of ironic, sweet, and emotionally charged tracks leaves a memorable impact on listeners. Discover The Vaselines' unique indie pop journey—listen to Dum-Dum and feel the raw, playful spirit of 80s alternative music!

Laura Nyro's debut album 'More Than a New Discovery' showcases her immense talent and versatility, mixing blues, jazz, and soul with deep, intimate lyrics.

 "A great album... it is not a derivative neo-progressive rock work."

 "'Indigo' opens the album... an infinite vortex of sensations, a spiral that chains us to the ground but at the same time allows us to soar far away."

This review praises Pendragon's 2008 album Pure as a standout neo-progressive rock work that breaks away from derivative styles. The album blends psychedelic sounds with progressive metal elements, drawing comparisons to Dream Theater, Riverside, and Porcupine Tree.

 I pick a random record, and it’s exactly what I was searching for without knowing it.

 I preferred them here, when they combined industrial quantities of shoegaze nostalgia with the most chaotic indie tradition.

The reviewer experiences a strong nostalgic moment triggered by The Ecstasy of Saint Theresa's 'Pigment' EP. They describe the EP as a perfect blend of shoegaze nostalgia and chaotic indie elements. Appreciated more than the band's later works, the EP's intense, live tracks are praised for their emotional impact. This record evokes a sense of escape and artistic sincerity.

 Nothing happens. The mirror cannot speak, but it records every slight physiological change, an invisible wrinkle, the skin that falls.

 Screwed by the holes and scratches, what remains Inside... It loses the original melody, becomes a rasping hiss, until it dies.

William Basinski's The Disintegration Loops III offers a meditative experience on the passage of time and decay. The music slowly degrades, losing its melody and becoming an evocative, fading haze. The album inspires reflection on impermanence and subtle changes unnoticed until they culminate in an end. The review captures the haunting beauty and emotional depth of this sonic journey. Dive into the emotional soundscape of The Disintegration Loops III and experience a profound reflection on time and decay.

 You can’t use the same criteria to judge Ringo’s work as his three Beatles friends.

 His drumming is clean and perfect as always, earning him the nickname 'the metronome'.

Ringo Starr's 1983 album Old Wave is an underrated pop-rock record created with a lighthearted spirit despite personal challenges. Featuring contributions from Joe Walsh, Eric Clapton, and others, the album blends quality songwriting with impeccable drumming. Though initially dismissed and released in limited countries, it deserves recognition for its honest and enjoyable approach. The album also marks a turning point in Starr's life as he fought alcoholism afterwards. Listen to Ringo Starr’s Old Wave and rediscover a hidden pop-rock treasure!

 The only way to listen to TBIII and understand its value is to forget its name.

 A wasted opportunity by Mike Oldfield because this could have been another great piece of work.

Mike Oldfield’s Tubular Bells III is a well-produced and varied album that suffers from its association with the iconic original Tubular Bells. Although not a masterpiece, it offers notable tracks and musical experimentation. The album’s title created unrealistic expectations and prejudices, which unfairly overshadow its merits. Fans open to hearing it without comparisons will find an enjoyable and distinct work. Explore Mike Oldfield’s Tubular Bells III and discover a unique album that stands apart from the original classic.

 The result is the sound of Redemption, which certainly does not shine for excessive originality but gives us those emotions that their illustrious fellow countrymen no longer seem capable of providing.

 I barely held back my tears, listening to it again after hearing about the serious illness that struck the very unfortunate Van Dyk.

Redemption's 2009 album 'Snowfall On Judgement Day' delivers a blend of technical prowess and heartfelt emotion in progressive metal. The album stands out for its poignant themes, especially tracks inspired by guitarist Nick Van Dyk's daughter's illness. While not highly original, the band's music evokes feelings often missing from similar acts. Guest vocalist J. LaBrie's participation adds variety, and Ray Alder's nuanced singing enhances the melancholic tone. Overall, it's a rewarding listen for patient progressive metal fans. Listen to Redemption's heartfelt progressive metal journey in 'Snowfall On Judgement Day' and experience its emotional depth today!

 "The Way" is by no means an isolated case, how is it possible that a power-trio of such talent is not listed among the stars of contemporary rock?

 Pure and simple love for music, and for this, Tony Scalzo, Miles Zuniga, and Joey Shuffield should only be proud.

Fastball’s compilation 'Painting The Corners: The Best Of Fastball' proves the band is far more than a one-hit wonder. Their catchy melodies, honest lyrics, and varied power-pop styles stand out despite being overlooked by major media like MTV.

 "God made all men equal, Mr. Colt made them different."

 The decision to focus on the exaltation of the friendship between Hidalgo and Frank is apt, bringing us back to what we’ve already seen in Dances with Wolves.

Joe Johnston's Oceano Di Fuoco tells the story of Frank Hopkins and his horse Hidalgo as they embark on a grueling Arabian desert race. The film combines themes of friendship, adventure, and political critique while showcasing skilled direction and impressive landscapes.

 "Devastation By Darkness is as heavy and vicious as few I’ve heard so far, fast and powerful, almost like listening to a speeding locomotive about to crash into a wall."

 "The band appears solid and technical, capable of well mixing extreme genres while always remaining within the realms of the rawest Black Metal."

Necrolust's debut album showcases a raw and primitive black metal style infused with thrash, death, and funeral doom elements. The six-track album features technical guitar riffs and solid drumming, creating an intense and atmospheric experience. While the vocals are charismatic, the bass parts are simple, likely due to the vocalist doubling as bassist. Overall, the band successfully blends extreme metal genres, appealing especially to fans of raw and underground sounds. Explore Necrolust's raw black metal debut and experience the intense fusion of extreme metal genres now!

 The text seems written in three hours while the electronic rhythm appears to be more a result of a Bontempi keyboard predating 1984.

 Much better then to listen to Dogma reviewed here or the latest gem (?) by Battiato.

The review critiques Daniele Silvestri's 'L’Imperatore Tiberio' as a rushed political rap with outdated electronic elements. While acknowledging the artist's political engagement, it finds the execution lacking and far from Silvestri's better works. The song mocks Berlusconi's controversial politics but fails to impress musically. Listen to Daniele Silvestri's 'L’Imperatore Tiberio' to hear his political take—then decide if you agree with this critical review!

 Uochi Toki come to my [our] rescue, the most mind-bending duo in the country, an experiment of computerized cacophony within stories from a surrealist session held in a subway car traveling through a birch forest.

 An absurd, sulfurous work, populated by unsettling presences, disillusioned and desperate, menacing, constantly evoking death, black, perfect for how it captures the mood, the emptiness, the vertigo of these years.

Uochi Toki's 'Libro Audio' offers a refreshing disruption to the monotonous Italian music landscape with its experimental and surreal approach. The album presents a poetic narrative across 12 intricate tracks blending diverse genres and evocative sound design. Rich with cultural and literary influences, it conjures a dark, disillusioned mood that resonates with current times. This complex, artistic work stands as a unique expression within Italian hip hop and beyond. Dive into Uochi Toki’s surreal sound world with 'Libro Audio' and experience Italian experimental hip hop like never before.
