Blackwood has the extraordinary ability to create a genuine atmosphere by suggesting and not showing the horrors he talks about.

Highlighting two novellas—'The Regeneration of Lord Ernie' and 'The Damned'—the review emphasizes Blackwood's skill in creating atmosphere through suggestion rather than explicit horror.

 The overall sensation is thus of a band that has remained faithfully true to its trademark but has raised the bar, reaching a higher level without pushing too far.

 I immediately noticed some interesting 80s-style solutions, energetic synth hits, and bouncing riffs reminiscent of a certain synth-pop of those years.

A.C.T's third EP 'Falling' continues their tradition of concise, high-quality progressive rock with subtle new influences. The band integrates 80s-style synth-pop elements and enhanced keyboard work, enriching their trademark sound. Melodic and orchestral arrangements are more prominent, balanced by one of their heaviest tracks. Overall, 'Falling' shows growth without losing their core identity, leaving fans eager for the final EP and future larger projects. Listen to A.C.T's 'Falling' EP and experience their unique blend of classic prog and 80s synth energy!

 The album showcases a great amount of musical talent and creativity.

 The album is the absolute gem of the national Mariadele’s discography and is worth a listen.

This review praises Mariadele's 2002 album ...Ora Mi Faccio Un Caffè as a standout work in her discography.

 Didactic documentary of the mainstream genre from which little genius and inventiveness emerge.

 It nevertheless remains enjoyable and suitable for a light evening, engagé enough.

The documentary 'Bella Ciao' by Giulia Giapponesi offers a didactic yet somewhat conventional take on Italian history. While lacking innovative elements, it remains engaging and suitable for light viewing. The film provides insight into ongoing Italian political paradoxes and encourages reflection on future implications. Explore Giulia Giapponesi's Bella Ciao documentary to understand Italian history from a fresh yet familiar perspective.

 I find it extraordinary how Bava managed to create a work that is damn faithful to the comic yet simultaneously deviates entirely from it.

 Mario Bava’s Diabolik is a sensational, original, and very interesting film, a true lesson in skill and versatility by one of the greatest Italian directors of all time.

Mario Bava's 1968 film Diabolik brilliantly adapts the famous Italian comic book, balancing faithfulness with playful deviations. The film enriches the source material with pop art aesthetics and psychedelic influences, while featuring compelling performances by John Philip Law and Marisa Mell. Action-packed and visually inventive, it remains a cult classic showcasing Bava's versatility. The soundtrack by Morricone enhances the atmosphere, making it a must-watch for fans of Italian cinema and comic adaptations. Discover the thrilling blend of comic art and psychedelia in Mario Bava's Diabolik—watch this cult classic now and experience Italian cinematic genius!

 Riverside takes a courageous path, which may appear challenging but turns out to be fluid and captivating instead.

 Personally, I consider ID.Entity one of the two boldest works in Riverside’s discography.

Riverside’s album ID.Entity marks a daring shift from their delicate past to a hard rock-infused progressive sound full of originality. The band avoids nostalgia, embracing ’70s-inspired organ and gritty guitars, plus unexpected genre touches like 80s synth-pop and reggae breaks. The album balances prog complexity with robust hard rock energy, highlighted by powerful bass and inventive arrangements. While not uniformly flawless, it stands as one of Riverside’s boldest and most captivating works. Discover Riverside’s bold new sound—listen to ID.Entity and experience their unique blend of prog and hard rock today!

 Commercial reasons truly incomprehensible for the hacking of a masterpiece (unified) like 'Tarka, mah.'

 The combination, devoid of further musical embellishments, is truly effective and rhythmically invaluable.

This review covers Anthony Phillips' Gypsy Suite, highlighting its appealing guitar work and compositional quality. The combination of 12-string and 6-string guitars offers a rich, rhythmic experience.

With around 30 minutes of cohesive music, it presents a sophisticated listening experience. Explore Anthony Phillips' Gypsy Suite and experience its masterful guitar blend—perfect for progressive rock and acoustic music fans.

 The use of the sample from BIG IN JAPAN by Alphaville immediately gets stuck in your head; the song is super catchy, but it’s a bit of an earworm.

 The single and the extended version sound like 1984, but it is too commercial and slightly banal compared to his past hits.

This review critiques Purple Disco Machine's single 'Substitution' featuring Kungs. While the track boasts catchy 80s-inspired sounds and a memorable Alphaville sample, it is regarded as too commercial and somewhat banal compared to previous works. The reviewer is hopeful for more club-worthy tracks in the upcoming album. The music video is noted as decent with two versions set in 1984. Listen to Purple Disco Machine's 'Substitution' and explore if it hits your 80s disco sweet spot!

 Marking time is our greatest deception while Raúl Ruiz never more than in this film makes us stay inside, and transparent, to the accumulation of eternity.

 The language of the soul breaks in like waves and blocks the mockery of representation, there are no holds, no 'projection,' no seeking to proselytize in proposing to 'leave everything,' no temptation is induced in this disintegration, it is a right for everyone.

The review challenges the typical surrealist label given to Raúl Ruiz's La Città dei Pirati, emphasizing its mystical and baroque qualities instead. The film rejects conventional storytelling, time, and action, immersing viewers in a hypnotic, dreamlike atmosphere that evokes spiritual and esoteric questions. This work highlights the disconnection between body and soul, explores the illusion of time, and invites audiences to engage with higher levels of consciousness beyond ego. Though demanding, the film offers a unique cinematic experience that resists mainstream appeal. Dive into Raúl Ruiz’s mesmerizing cinematic journey and experience a film that challenges time and perception.

 A work of complex decipherment very much, perhaps too much, folded in on itself.

 An affection always held for this mad anarchist, deconstructing master of all cinema and prime companion of my solitary nights.

The review reflects on Enrico Ghezzi's film 'Gli ultimi giorni dell'umanità' as a complex and self-referential work that challenges easy understanding. The reviewer expresses a deep affection for Ghezzi as a unique and anarchic cinema master but admits difficulty in giving a full judgment. The film is portrayed as intellectually demanding and perhaps excessively folded in on itself. Explore the challenging world of Enrico Ghezzi’s cinema—dive into 'Gli ultimi giorni dell'umanità' today.
