Kreayshawn Somethin 'Bout Kreay • by Asfodelo

Who said that music always has to be an elevated and sublime form of art? Who said that from time to time one can't play an album just for the pure sacred taste of chilling out?

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.

Anne Frank Tutti gli scritti • by Ilovemusic

My beloved Annelies Marie Frank! It would be wonderful to remember her properly, perhaps by organizing a beautiful festival of diverse arts, as I would like to do.

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.

Hello povery, I'm here to review a masterpiece by my dear friend Suorah aka luckystar, a successful popstar of the 2020s, and this is another proof that we are not "wankers" like everyone is defining us, she is a woman with great talent, and you are just jealous!!

Franco Battiato Correnti gravitazionali • by withor

Why own a collection (a posthumous one, in this case) of an artist whose entire discography you already possess? Well, the answer can only be irrational: it depends solely on being a (die-hard) fan of that particular artist, thus supporting the very mercenary commercial operations put into effect by variou…

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.

Imagine Dragons Mercury - Act 2 • by splinter

The question is one that torments. Who the hell are Imagine Dragons? A banal pop band that wants to do more but can't, or a band with musical solidity resting on its shining laurels? I started following them from their first album enticed by a friend who I don't thin…

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"…

Max Pezzali Il mondo insieme a te • by rafssru

After closing the 883 saga with Love/Life, which bore both the name Max Pezzali and 883, the only musical group composed of a single member dissolves, leaving, indeed, the only member. The first fruit of Max as a songwriter is Il mondo insieme a te, but the result of thi…
