Syz, I thought initially it could be a problem with the on-line translator but the real fun appears at the track titles which are normally not translated; 'More imbecile I' is anthological. IMO, only someone with a great knowledge of English could do it. |

I think this review is absolutely inspired - either somebody used an online translator with unintentionally hilarious results, or the ghost of James Joyce has started reviewing prog albums. Either way, I look forward to further commentaries on prog classics from this unique perspective! |

GENESIS "Selling England By The Pound"
Review (Permanent link) by drain-o Posted 12:58:25 PM EST, 2/1/2006 I think that selling England by book is very marvellous. It is not as good as foxtrot and of the crimes of seedbed, but it is always one of best of all the hour, in the top of the twenty-five things. I like to listen it by eating pizza pie with a table of picnic. Gabriel has its voice to do a nice work and the load of lyric impresses me much. I cannot guarantee the goods which you can appreciate, but it is livable. It starts with a slow beginning but rises with the power and energy and I like the fast movement. It trails then to the bottom with a slow obliteration. It is like the effect Doppler of a train here and then going far. I know that what I like in your garde-robe is ordered with the lawn mower and the speech parts about the trousers and of the potato gardens. It is a piece of music very pleasant completion of interesting toothpaste and was one of them are the first blows. The fifth of the fifth is the best song on the album. The elegant banks makes a fantastic creation of the keyboards and the marvellous solo by Steve Hackett on the guitar has me flight with eggs and bird's nests. More imbecile I is right empty spaces. But it becomes better when we go to the battle of the forest of Epping, a walking piece of historical substance. It becomes complicated and I like times of signature everywhere. Rutherford makes low nice. The second best song is last of this seminal progressive work, the exposure of cinema. It beats me foolish with its astonishing keyboard by elegant Banks and Phil Collins eats its drums. With my ears, it is my best memory and with the fifth of the fifth. The genesis would not have another album as this always still as the lamb is downwards on Broadway would miss senselessness soup and passing by again logicians of council. An incredibly important work of progressive rock in the worlds and deserves holds five us the first role that all likes to see.--JB
NOT EXACTLY ABUSIVE... one of the funniest reviews I read here (as long as I know English). Edited by Atkingani |

Nothing about the album at all. Why is it not a masterpiece?
STREAM OF PASSION "Embrace The Storm" As the last reviewer said, It's not a masterpiece, your progressive music collection do not need it absolutly, but it's an very very good album anyway. Before I bought EMBRACE THE STORM, I listen 2 or 3 sample and I didn't like it. But I finaly took my credit card and order the album anyway. It's really sounding great when I listen to it and change my mind about Lucassen and Marcela lastest effort.
Nice job |

PORCUPINE TREE "Coma Divine Live"
Review (Permanent link) by Toomio Posted 6:04:23 AM EST, 2/1/2006
Best listened at night-time. Dim moods and magical sounds are conquering. I specially
like Radioactive toy. I recommend this album. It's very good live-album, but not so
essential album if compare in other PT-albums.
Short and inexpressive... |

AKKERMAN, JAN "Transparental"
Review (Permanent link) by Henk Posted 3:20:43 PM EST, 1/31/2006 One of the finest music pieces i ever heard! Kaz Lux vocals come from deep deep inside. Only on vinyl so search on the internet. SUCCES!
stick to vintage for better sound, stereo is the best, you only got 2 ears! Again...what makes it a 5-star record? Talk about bare-bones....

As I wrote previously BobRock wrote about the album and its songs with more than 50 words. For me it is valid. Good work, andrea. Edited by Atkingani |

I'm not using a "translator", but the meaning is more or less the following: This is one of the best Italian-prog bands, though it has been forgotten too soon, like many other bands of that period. Their second album, less rock compared to the first one, is absolutely outstanding and, in my opinion, it sounds musically less Italian! Sometimes you can hear reminiscences of King Crimson and Gentle Giant, sometimes it sounds jazzy… In the whole, all the tracks of this album surprise because of their variety and completeness! The great opener “Villa Doria Pamphili” is evidently inspired by the performance of the band in one of the most important pop-festivals in

Honestly, I've never heard Babe Ruth, much less heard OF them. The reason I put it here in this forum is because...well; the terms "hip-hop" and "prog" don't jibe. I don't think the reviewer quite knows what he's talking about, to be honest. |

You can always rely on Babelfish for a good laugh - "This e' one of best the Band di Italian Prog, although it has been forgotten too much in a hurry like very many others band about that period. Their according to disc, they sure give them to rockeggianti airs little first respect al, e' truly exceptional and, said, a lot little Italian musical contained nei!! To times it sends back echoes of the Crimson to times of the Gentle Giant to time seems to graze the jazz, insomma, every trace of this I furrow is strange for thoroughness and varieta' of the proposal!! Great start on Villa Doria Pamphili, evidently inspired from the presence of the band in one of piu' important festival the POP svoltosi in omonimo the roman park. Optimal the title track, true pearl prog of the disc, impreziosita from the games between the keyboards and violino and very executed in the voice and the choruses. "gorno a friend" e' an other example of the largeness of this band, of their way to make prog, while piu' they experiments appare"E' happened a night", in which can be traced of the jazzistici callbacks evidently inborn in the DNA of these optimal musicians!! Even if various from the first CD, I love this like previous and the check 5 stars!!!" Makes sense to me. |

QUELLA VECCHIA LOCANDA "Il Tempo Della Gioia "
Review (Permanent link) by BobRock Posted 4:31:45 AM EST, 1/30/2006 Questa e' una delle migliori Band di Italian Prog , sebbene sia stata dimenticata troppo in fretta come moltissime altre band di quel periodo . Il loro secondo disco , dalle arie sicuramente meno rockeggianti rispetto al primo , e' veramente eccezionale e , direi , molto poco Italiano nei contenuti musicali !! A volte rimanda echi dei Crimson a volte dei Gentle Giant a volta sembra sfiorare il jazz , insomma , ogni traccia di questo solco sorprende per completezza e varieta' della proposta !! Grande start on Villa Doria Pamphili , evidentemente ispirata dalla presenza della band in uno dei piu' importanti festival pop svoltosi nell'omonimo parco romano . Ottima la title track , vera perla prog del disco , impreziosita dai giochi tra le tastiere e il violino e ben eseguita nella voce e nei cori . "Un gorno un amico" e' un altro esempio delle grandezza di questa band , del loro modo di fare prog , mentre piu' sperimentale appare"E' accaduto una notte" , in cui si possono rintracciare dei richiami jazzistici evidentemente insiti nel DNA di questi ottimi musicisti !! Anche se diverso dal primo CD , amo questo come il precedente e gli assegno 5 stelle !!!
SOMEONE TO TRANSLATE? He wrote about the album and songs...

RUSH "Moving Pictures"
Review (Permanent link) by Louis Préfontaine Posted 5:49:20 PM EST, 1/29/2006 3,4/5.0
This is really not a bad album, far from it. This is still Rush, with great guitar and keyboards, however I just don't enjoy that much the 80s sound. "XYZ" is probably the best sound on the album, but somehow I would rather consider this album as one of the first neo-progressive album as opposed to a 'late-bloomer' real prog disc. I think the right description could in fact be 'neo-rock-prog'. All that said, this is still a good (but not essential) album, very enjoyable and imaginative.

QUEEN "A Day At The Races*"
Review (Permanent link) by chas2u Posted 7:54:01 PM EST, 1/29/2006 No Bohemian here.....
But still indelibly Queen, terrific vocal harmony, and Queen sound. This album is so underrated because the album doesnt have a standout classic, all songs are evenly fine.... Poppy progressive rock but so what :D |
