Tracey Thorn A Distant Shore • by JonatanCoe

Hull, for example, is drenched for most of the year by a steel sky, heavy with rain and enveloped in a silence so reverent that you can hear the rustle of clothes and the weight of life through the creaking of wooden boards poorly fastened to the floor.

Stadio, Lucio Dalla Lunedì Cinema • by JonatanCoe

Nobody reads the end credits. Too many and too fast. A cascade of names, actors, skills that fall down in the most total indifference. Sleepy, while putting on my pajamas, with mint and fluoride in my mouth, they escort me to bed. Sometimes they find me already passed out o…

La strana società Il lungo viaggio dell'amico Harry • by Eliodoro

Turin group that some may remember for "Pop Corn" but who also recorded a prog album in 1972 released only in 2017 titled "Il lungo viaggio dell'amico Harry". The work was never published in '72 and it's easy to understand why; across the Channel in this genre, "Close to th…

Ferzan Ozpetek Cuore sacro • by MartinVenator

Film practically divided into two parts, at times anonymous but, ultimately, heartfelt and certainly worth watching.

Wolfgang Groos Nonni alle prime armi • by bastoncinoverde

Small bourgeois comedy with a Teutonic twist, very politically correct; only, I must add, it's quite distressing to see Sukowa in such predicaments again.

Fabrizio Ferraro Quattro notti di uno straniero • by bastoncinoverde

I loved this alienated and alienating film, mysterious, oblique, and minimal; practically nothing happens, there are no dialogues, only background noises, a stunning and distressing black and white photography, a lesser yet true and vibrant Paris, and a love comme il faut, what else?

Hiroshi Yoshimura Soft Wave for Automatic Music Box • by asterics

Like soft, fluffy strips of unrolled paper, automated rustles that don't disturb sleep.

Flavio Giurato Marco Polo • by RamirezAlHassar

Like a clot of honey at the bottom of an herbal tea made with thistle, dandelion, and artichoke.
Better yet, like a date at the bottom of a bitter coffee.

Il Festival di Sanremo Sanremo 2023: e non abbandonarci a 'sta canzone, ma liberaci da Sanremo, Ama • by Martello

Bettye Swann Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye • by Almotasim

Take a Doo Wop piece and turn it into Soul Music. But real Soul Music. Music of the soul, through and through. Only the soul takes the shape of the body, against another body. Blood carries it. It swells. It pumps the chest of the heart. Bettye initially whisper…

Arab Strap As Days Get Dark • by DocEmmettBrown

A journey! Once you place the record on the turntable and set the needle down, this is all you can expect from this album... rich in seemingly dark atmospheres... almost as if you were trying to look at someone in the shadows, from a distance, squinting your eyes... "Compersion Pt.1"…

Careen Careen Love Health • by kloo

My soul crackles, or rather, my souls do. I have my cycles - sometimes invasive - that radicalize - depending on the occasion - without a real and concrete motivation: Today I'm in a post-punk phase, in two months I'll delight in hi-tech, and in two years I'll be int…

Sangue 13 pezzi • by Kiodo

I've always thought of To Ed Gein as that kind of raging lunatics who record themselves eating spoonfuls of glass shards from a bowl and then upload the video to YouTube.

Dmitri Shostakovich Sinfonia n. 13, Op. 113 "Babij Jar" • by Kyrielison

Meditate che questo è stato:
Vi comando queste parole.
Scolpitele nel vostro cuore
Stando in casa andando per via,
Coricandovi alzandovi;
Ripetetele ai vostri figli.
O vi si sfaccia la casa,
La malattia vi impedisca,
I vostri nati torcano il viso da voi.

Diaframma Siberia Reloaded 2016 • by asterics

A frozen and infamous youth. But perhaps that's precisely why it's indelible.
