 Don’t take it the wrong way, dear, but the original materials for the current remixing weren’t all that wonderful to begin with.

 I think it’s safe to say, in extreme synthesis, that it resides in that classic limbo that elevates it to the role of a readily forgettable piece.

 "The result is modest, certainly appreciable, but it offers some doubts due to the inexperience that accompanied him."

 "The second side, however, presents the best of the album and consists of a suite titled 'My Trip,' which comprises seven movements."

Patrick Forgas' 1977 album Cocktail is a notable entry in French progressive rock, heavily influenced by the Canterbury scene and Robert Wyatt. While the album shows inexperience with many short, underdeveloped pieces on the first side, its second side offers a compelling seven-movement suite, 'My Trip.'

 His most famous work inflated the concept of artistic value, a concrete and theoretical object that, in its extension in rolls sold by the meter, scandalized the well-thinking critics.

 Love for art means love for imagination and disdain for the god money, in any occasion.

Pinot Gallizio’s Industrial Painting challenges traditional notions of artistic value by rejecting commodification and emphasizing concept over stylistic execution. Associated with Situationism and Nouvea Realism, Gallizio’s work is valued less for its brushwork than for its critique of consumerism and urban alienation. Despite its lack of conventional artistic excellence, the piece holds a sacred place among those engaging with these ideas. This work aligns with conceptual art, where idea transmission outweighs technique. Discover the radical ideas behind Pinot Gallizio’s Industrial Painting and rethink what art truly means.

Featuring a patchwork of unreleased tracks, electronic nuances, and guest appearances, the album blends gothic wave roots with experimental sounds.

 Aspiring horror directors should study this 'La goccia d’acqua' to the last detail, as it is an excellent and still current example of how to cinematographically construct fear.

Mario Bava's I tre volti della paura is a standout 1960s horror anthology featuring three distinct episodes that showcase Bava’s masterful use of style and atmosphere.
