Tina Turner’s voice was for me the first embryonic idea of rock, the first truly other sound, the first thing resembling a legend of freedom. Ah, 'Nutbush' I liked it for that old affair known as move your ass, but also because it reminded me of the wolf girl, who was none other than my aunt.

We know him to be a self-taught musician/composer who, in his formative journey, has touched upon a wide array of genres. A 4 is well-deserved, especially for the courage shown in putting himself out there with such an unconventional musical proposal... almost crazy, like the best of North-European fairy tale traditions.

Rango deserves to be revisited for far other reasons beyond Johnny Depp's voice. It is actually an existentialist tale about a bumbling chameleon lost in the middle of the desert and within himself.

Geddy Lee is always the Bassist of God, and I will never stop loving the professionalism, expertise, and tireless vitality of these three giants. They only make me think that we are far from Hemispheres, Moving Pictures, and their other masterpieces from the 70s and, why not, the 80s.

Sequeri’s aesthetic finds itself in the middle, free from rock arrangements and far from that churchy aesthetic where Angels accompany Mary on earth to leave random messages of healings and wonders. Maybe Penderecki’s works, for some, are frightening. They have never listened to this record. They do not know the fear.
