 One of the most beautiful albums of the past year is there, timidly nestled on some Bandcamp server in the Pampas, so light and delicate that it doesn’t even dare to ask for a payment to be downloaded.

 Fagen’s music wasn’t innovative thirty years ago, just as it is not outdated now.

 The album respects all the canons of Fagen’s music, above all the recording, still exceptional (low fi? What’s that?).

Donald Fagen's Sunken Condos maintains the signature style that has defined his music since 1982. The album blends jazz, pop, and fusion with smooth production and a nod to black music influences.

 "La dieta dell’imperatrice maintains the tendency of Giardini’s works while escaping the fear of encountering an exact copy of his old albums."

 "An album can be great even if, compared to the band’s other works, it presents many, too many differences."

 "After all, Al loves to experiment with new influences for his albums, and in my opinion, this time it resulted in a record by no means contemptible."

This review highlights Ministry's Rio Grande Blood as an album that successfully combines political themes with a heavier and thrash-influenced sound. The reviewer encourages listeners to appreciate the songs themselves beyond just their political message. Though different from earlier iconic albums, Rio Grande Blood offers strong, experimental tracks worth exploring. Listen to Ministry's Rio Grande Blood and discover its heavy, politically charged sound for yourself!

 The splendid 'Iambric 5 Poetry' immediately transports us to a dreamy and evocative world.

 'Budakhan Mindphone' is among the most linear albums Tom has composed, without digressions or unnecessary noises.

Squarepusher’s Budakhan Mindphone blends live drums and electric bass with electronic sounds in a style dubbed 'futur-jazz.' The album favors jazz foundations with touches of ambient and glitch. Key tracks like 'Iambric 5 Poetry' and 'Two Bass Hit' highlight its dynamic range.

 "Biohazard has been short on ideas since the departure of guitarist Bobby Hambel."

 "Some might actually like it, but it’s nothing exceptional and at times just pleasant to listen to."

Uncivilization reflects Biohazard's struggle to regain their early success after guitarist Bobby Hambel's departure. While the album features notable guest artists like Phil Anselmo and Corey Taylor, it delivers a mixed experience with some decent, gritty tracks. Though not exceptional, it offers moments that fans of the band's style might appreciate. Overall, it falls short of the impact of their 1994 peak album. Discover Biohazard’s Uncivilization and explore the band’s gritty vibe with star collaborations!

 Ila Rosso is a real singer-songwriter.

 If Burial’s sound has always been associated with a peripheral London, in this work he seeks to evoke this imaginary in its entirety.

 Reigning supreme over all the experimentation undertaken, is Burial’s stylistic signature which remains a colossus marking the boundaries of a genre.

Burial’s Truant/Rough Sleeper EP marks a complex and mature phase in his musical journey, showcasing extended compositions rich in fractured rhythms and rich atmospheres. The two long tracks blend background noise, tribal percussion, and darkwave synths, pushing the boundaries of his signature sound. Influences from Four Tet, Pantha du Prince, and Fuck Buttons are evident, yet Burial’s unique style remains dominant. This EP serves as both an evolution and deepening of his artistic narrative. Dive into Burial’s haunting soundscapes—listen to Truant/Rough Sleeper and experience his evolving electronic mastery.

 "The peak of the album is instead the beautiful suite 'Note,' perhaps Beardfish's most mature and refined composition."

 "Albums like this are those that in one way or another force you to listen to them attentively, and that never give you the satisfaction of a definite verdict."

Beardfish's album The Void shows a more cohesive and mature prog rock sound compared to earlier works. While heavier and rawer in some tracks, it avoids a full metal shift. The suite "Note" stands out as a refined highlight, complemented by evocative lyrics and emotional pieces like "Ludwig & Sverker." Overall, the album demands attentive listening and rewards with depth and excitement. Dive into Beardfish's The Void and experience a powerful, mature prog rock masterpiece today!

 "You can say you don’t like their music, that it is dated, but you cannot question the historical value of these two figures."

 "In 1974, electronic music had never been heard as immediate, extroverted, I would dare say danceable."

Cluster's 'Zuckerzeit' marks a key moment in electronic music history, transitioning from experimental noise to accessible electronic pop. The duo Moebius and Roedelius innovated with melodic synth lines and rhythmic structures that were revolutionary for 1974. The album blends cosmic synth drones with catchy, danceable rhythms, creating a playful yet influential sound.

 De Rubertis abandons the synthesizer and sits at the piano, unfolding well-developed melodies and lyrics that move between Capossela and Conte.

 There’s also room, in the opinion of the writer, for a gem: Signorina, track number 11. Contagious rhythm, almost fox trot, with lyrics that are hard to grasp but fit perfectly with the music.

Gianluca De Rubertis, half of Il Genio, releases his first solo album 'Autoritratti con oggetti' abandoning synths for piano-based melodies. The album showcases poetic lyrics rich in metaphors and playful wordplays, drawing comparisons to artists like Capossela and Conte. While some tracks drag with forced metaphors and filler moments, standout songs like 'Signorina' bring a contagious rhythm and charm. Overall, it's a convincing debut with room for growth. Listen to Gianluca De Rubertis’ poetic debut and discover his unique blend of piano melodies and vivid storytelling.

 The singer neither holds back nor feels uncomfortable on extremely modern bases, and State of Bengal seems especially well-versed in traditional Indian music.

 Tana Tani symbolizes for India a cultural solution where the best of the two trends present coexist, resulting in something enjoyable just like the sounds contained in this work.

 A man and his world.

 The pieces are all rather static, monotonous, always identical to themselves, devoid of any significant evolution.

Paolo Catena's 'Quadrimusicali' is a challenging and minimalist experimental album combining music with abstract paintings. The album deviates from Catena's earlier doom styles, favoring static, repetitive soundscapes. It reflects his artistic maturation and freedom, requiring attentive listening to grasp its depth. Though not as impactful as some previous works, it remains a valuable part of his evolving discography. Dive into Paolo Catena’s avant-garde journey with 'Quadrimusicali'—listen now and explore sound like never before!

 If critics elevate this album as fundamental to rock music, it means they stopped listening for pleasure long ago.

 Music must be beautiful; it must shake your insides and give you chills of pleasure. Can you tell me what’s beautiful about a distorted guitar and a raped piano?

This review offers a skeptical perspective on the widely acclaimed album "The Velvet Underground & Nico." While acknowledging a couple of standout tracks, the reviewer finds much of the album boring or annoying, challenging its status as a timeless classic. The reviewer urges listeners to trust their own ears and hearts rather than critics and questions the artistic value of the punk and noise genres that the album supposedly inspired. Listen to The Velvet Underground & Nico yourself—challenge the critics and discover what speaks to you.

 "The simplicity of this project... lies precisely in dispensing pop psychology, comparable to the good advice of mothers and grandmothers."

 "This is the classic essay (?) you find under the Christmas tree and nothing should make you happier than your mother-in-law’s little gift, alas!"

This review offers an ironic and skeptical take on Raffaele Morelli's book 'La felicità è dentro di te', criticizing its simplistic approach to happiness. The reviewer compares the advice to clichéd words from family members but coated with a superficial scientific tone. The book is framed as a typical, uninspiring holiday gift, prompting a playful question about alternative music recommendations. Overall, the review expresses disappointment and a lack of genuine value. Explore this ironic review and decide if Morelli’s happiness advice is for you—or discover fresh recommendations instead!

 This band, always teetering between silliness and rock music, released their second album, Young And Rich, in 1976.

 The album is certainly not a masterpiece, but it’s the type of record you’ll always listen to: accessible and well-crafted at the same time.
