Under the Radar Pt.20
Most interesting and promising contemporary german band I know of these days. Coming from Munich they write another chapter of the City´s history of music coming from an intellectual background. The lyrics contain few words that are chosen perfectly to create a feeling of anger and resistance. The singer uses her unique voice opposite to most other female singers these days. No seduction, no hip depression, no artificial insecurity - just angry fire. Like ... read more

Hidden gem of '60s psychedelia or manically inflated stoner ego?
Wikipedia says: this "is considered one of the best heavy American psychedelic rock albums of the 1960s."
I say: a spectacular failure of fashion and desperation.
Production-wise it's a debacle, drums that sound like they recorded a sack of potatoes falling down the basement stairs, a singer whose voice is far too often in the foreground and who overdrives the Shure mic's diaphragm when he screams, a guitar sound with ... read more
Since she passed away last night (Wednesday, 5/4/2013) and I've already mentioned her fantastic record Lark, I'd like to review another one....
This predecessor to Lark is a bit unbalanced.
Nonetheless, it's an enjoyable soul/folk record with the fantastic Come Along People, For Mama and I Dunno.
I'll listen to the rest of her dicography since her voice is so unique, and maybe I'll find some other hidden gems.

You will change just like a flower slowly openin'

A sicerely perfect record
You know the moment you stop doing what you´re doing because beauty sucks you in.
This record is not a revolution of sound but an evolution of soul-music in a literal sense.
I hesitate to mention favorite songs because this record is an experience as a whole.
PS Never did a female singer remind me so much of Rufus Wainwright
I´m always willing to listen to divorce albums, the same with songs written by guys from a womans pespective or vice versa.
Walking Wounded, Warehouse: Songs and Stories- or- Here, my Dear -or songs like- Angel From Montgomery.. you might get the picture.
Here Willie composed both a divorce record and one side (A) narrated from the woman´s perspective.
What should I say, what a great Country record and what a great Willie Nelson record.
Excellent recording as well, the icing on the ... read more

Hello! I just read your comment sorry for the late reply!
I know i promised you about the Arabian music list and im still thinking about it all the time, There are just too many albums to add and im just discovering more unique projects every couple of days, Im planning to do it 100% and also adding genres, a little description about each artist/album and making a some sort of index so you can go to a page where you can find the genres you are looking for.
Sorry to keep you waiting but you will see it coming this year for sure and will be working on it in a private list until i feel good about it and then share it, will notify you for sure for any updates.

Hey buddy, I had planned a little joke for my review of tomorrow on that, but no in reality I took a few days off to prepare the year 1968 in particular, it is necessary to cut a little sometimes it is good

I'm bored and so decided to make another community list; this time,
What is a record you believe has defined its genre albeit through exemplifying its sound, shaping said genre, or has established said genre in popularity and/or existence, and why?

About
I listen to anything that touches me, still curious... I usually hate music as a tapestry satisfying my need to hear sounds that keep me safe due to cliches I already heard before.
Most of my ratings will be very good as I mostly rate things that I want to support due to their quality.
A score of 100 is given to a record that is so unique I think you should listen to it at least once in a lifetime
I will skip most of my dislikes as long as I´m not confronted by them on a daily basis
