It is clearly a children’s record, mostly for educational and pedagogical purposes.

 For the first time in a review, I do not recommend this record: if possible, bring your children into the wild, to the park, or, if necessary, to the zoo.

M.F. Bourdot’s 1981 LP A L'écoute des Animaux is an educational children’s record featuring animal sounds aimed at training auditory recognition. While it offers some pedagogical value, it lacks the depth or excitement for adult listeners or collectors. The reviewer ultimately recommends real-world nature experiences over this record for children’s learning. Explore this unique children’s animal sounds record or experience nature’s real audio treasure firsthand!

 "VictimEyez swims right in the middle of this claustrophobic and incandescent chaos, revealing itself as a true black gem of negative, very introverted, and occult electronics."

 "The voice of singer Bianca Radd, shamanic and rebelliously acid at the same time, is a medley between the solemn Diamanda Galas and the fresh but harsh Alice Glass of Crystal Castles."

Bruxa’s debut album VictimEyez is a brave and original exploration of the Witchstep genre, blending Witch House, Industrial, and Dubstep elements. The album is intense and claustrophobic, featuring sharp synths, tribal percussion, and haunting vocals by Bianca Radd. Notable tracks like 'Mothersnapper' and 'Paperweight Pt. 1' highlight the band's dark experimental style. VictimEyez solidifies Bruxa’s place in the American underground electronic scene. Dive into Bruxa’s haunting electronic world—listen to VictimEyez now and discover the future of Witchstep!

 The Litfiba of the ‘80s are back! And I can already hear your objections: but wasn’t the drummer tragically gone? Miracle!

 Pelù is really like a fish out of water... He’s past his prime, but I love him nonetheless.

This review celebrates the Litfiba reunion of their 1983-1989 era with highs such as Maroccolo's bass and Ghigo's guitar.

 Never before had it been permissible to listen to such music, and it is a pity that the medium of words is not at all able to describe it: I had read effusive praises, but I had to listen to believe.

 Mr. Doctor’s music ceases to be simple classical music, simple progressive rock, simple theater-driven dark music, and becomes an experience that can only leave a deep mark on the listener.

Devil Doll’s Dies Irae is a remarkable dark-progressive concept album blending orchestral, opera, and rock elements. Despite production setbacks including a studio fire, the album was completed with the Slovenian Philharmonic Orchestra’s help. Mr. Doctor’s theatrical, unearthly vocals and the intricate composition make it an unforgettable experience. Influences from cinema and literature enrich the storytelling, creating a unique, labyrinthine musical journey that defies categorization. Listen to Devil Doll’s Dies Irae and immerse yourself in a dark-progressive symphony unlike any other.

 Magnum has codified a genre, or anyway a sub-genre, entirely personal.

 Here is the regal sound of Magnum, a whole different story...

Wings of Heaven is considered one of Magnum's peak albums, showcasing their trademark blend of melodic rock, AOR, and epic sounds. Released during the late 1980s golden era of melodic hard rock, the album balances radio-friendly production with artistic integrity. Key band members Tony Clarkin, Bob Catley, and Mark Stanway play pivotal roles in crafting its signature sound. The review praises the album's timeless melodies and its distinction from typical American rock of the era, highlighting its unique northern, Celtic-inspired atmosphere. Listen to Wings of Heaven and experience Magnum's epic melodic rock legacy today!

 Spielberg has crafted a technically perfect film, didactic and impeccable in its visuals.

 Much of the two-and-a-half-hour film gets lost in interminable political discussions and verbal clashes.

Spielberg's Lincoln portrays the final months of Abraham Lincoln's presidency and his efforts to pass the Thirteenth Amendment. The film is technically excellent with outstanding performances but leans heavily on political dialogue, making it less emotionally engaging and somewhat slow-paced. It offers a realistic, non-glorified depiction of political processes. While visually and technically impeccable, the film may not appeal to those seeking emotional intensity or action. Discover the political drama behind the abolition of slavery—watch Lincoln and explore this pivotal moment in history.

 The production is very '60s, intentionally crafted by the band to highlight the warmth of the instruments and to make their music sound 'like that of the golden age.'

 A group that certainly has a lot to say, I rate this EP 3/5, but I would see it more as a 6.5-7/10.

Barclay & Ichinose I EP showcases a duo blending 60s progressive rock with punk, blues, and post-rock influences. The production emphasizes a warm, retro sound. Despite creative ideas and strong musicianship, the album struggles to fully engage, resulting in a mixed reception. Highlights include an impressive vocal and instrumental mix and experimental song structures. Dive into the unique blend of retro and modern sounds in Barclay & Ichinose I EP – listen now and explore their bold musical experiment!

 'Rock Dj and Kids represent the diamonds of a simple, effective, and even captivating mainstream pop craftsmanship.'

 In "Ames De Marbre" the sadness is felt in every single note and blends well with the occasional metal accelerations.

 With just one album Sadness managed to say a lot but also to tell all the well-known "gothic trash" to go to hell.

Sadness' 'Ames de Marbre' is a distinctive album blending gothic metal with darkwave influences. Drawing from Celtic Frost and New Wave bands like Joy Division, it rejects typical metal clichés. The emotional vocal delivery and nocturnal atmosphere set it apart. Despite less successful follow-ups, this album remains an essential and powerful work in the genre. Listen to Sadness' 'Ames de Marbre' now and experience a rare fusion of gothic metal and darkwave!

 Hurts with Exile show that not all is lost and that only the ability to look with wisdom and clarity at the current music scene... can turn into precious lifeblood for the future.

 The artificially-orchestral syrup of the ballads from the first album is largely abdicated, and the duo opens up to current electronic diversions and flirts with dubstep, rock, industrial, and techno.

Hurts' second album, Exile, marks a notable improvement over their debut Happiness by blending synthpop with modern electronic styles like dubstep and industrial rock. The duo successfully diversifies their sound, moving beyond 80s clichés into richer, more current territory. While not flawless, Exile secures Hurts a promising niche in synth-driven pop.

 I was moved and found myself in a world of fairy tales... and with closed eyes, I saw the Bear-Men and Boar-Men those notes were telling us about.

 It was decided to 'sonorize' a photographic book by Charles Freger, titled precisely 'Wilder Mann'... and what does it take!

The reviewer discovers Teho Teardo for the first time through his album Music for Wilder Mann, an entirely instrumental work inspired by Charles Freger's photography.

 Before We Were Born gave me the exact definition of what contemporary jazz should be for me.

 If Zorn has the great gift of bringing out the best and often darkest side of others, Frisell here had the genius to reverse the process, exorcize it, and metabolize it into an album full of power and electricity.

 "There's more to life than a little money, you know. And here you are, and it's a beautiful day. I just don't understand it..."

 The Coens enjoy showing us moments that would clash in a typical noir, like the acting rehearsals Jerry does to warn his father-in-law or the continuous bickering between Gaear and Carl.

Fargo, the Coen Brothers' sixth film, is a masterful blend of dark comedy and crime, capturing American Midwest culture with striking authenticity. The film earned multiple Oscars for its screenplay and Frances McDormand's performance. Through a realistic documentary style, Fargo explores themes of cynicism, senseless violence, and morality. Its memorable characters and mix of humor and brutality make it a standout in the Coens' career. Dive into Fargo's chilling mix of crime and comedy—watch now and experience the Coens' unforgettable cinematic style!

 The album is bad. Bland, dull, pedantic, anemic, at times truly unbearable, useless, self-referential, depressing.

 Bowie is gone too. Let’s come to terms with it.

The review harshly criticizes David Bowie's album The Next Day as dull, self-referential, and lacking excitement. The reviewer expresses disappointment, feeling Bowie is tired and the production adds to the problem. Despite Bowie’s legacy, this album fails to live up to expectations. The reviewer suggests it may be time to say goodbye to Bowie’s work. Read the full review or listen to The Next Day to judge Bowie's late career yourself.
