The Noise Revival Orchestra - Songs Of Forgiveness [2011]
Fresh, entertaining, curious, eccentric and capable of jumping from a genre to another: it's the Noise Revival Orchestra. This 12 piece large-band lead by Nathan J. Felix pushes the limits of the musical mixture, typical of groups such as Animal Liberation Orchestra or Culver City Dub Collective. Freedom seems to be the secret of their creativity.Songs Of Forgiveness is the fifth album by the band, and it should be highly appreciated by those who love both Paul Simon's melodies and the grandeur…See More

Review: Kelly Steward - Long Long Road (EP)
Weird is the tale of an EP, and mysterious is the path of an artistic resurrection. The true story is that the beautiful (because she IS beautiful…I'm human after all) Kelly Steward from Rockford, IL, debuted with a "home-made" EP back in 2000, while this EP (meaningfully entitled Long Long Road) arrives after eight long years. I don't know what happened in the meantime, but all the peculiarities that made the debut…See More

Jack commented on Gianfranco Callieri's blog post 'Garage Band For Rent (part 1) - The Who'
Enjoyed reading this. Until purchasing the deluxe addition of Who's Next, I'd have had a little harder time thinking of the Who in terms of garage rock, but several of the bonus tracks illustrate your thought very well, specifically…
Garage Band For Rent (part 1) - The Who
Garage-rock has been primarily an American cultural phenomenon that exploded principally in the areas of Seattle, Portland, Los Angeles, Chicago and Minneapolis from 1965 on. The standard-bearer of the movement were a bunch of bands who on one hand were mainly influenced by the electric groove of the British Invasion (The Beatles, The Animals, Dave Clark Five, The Yardbirds, Rolling Stones or Zombies) and by the distorted power-chords by the great Link Wray and on the other hand took to the…See More

FastAR Funding commented on Gianfranco Callieri's blog post 'Review - Kyle Andrews: Kangaroo [EP, Elephant Lady 2010]'
Kyle Andrews Pop Music is always too good. It’s also fun crazy and entertaining. Pop music and sad lyrics don’t always blend well, but Andrews always managed to combine the two seamlessly, providing more depth than the genre usually…
Review - Kyle Andrews: Kangaroo [EP, Elephant Lady 2010]
The word of the day is bounce, which stands for bounce (obviously), jump, leap, but also for elasticity; for example the mental and physical one that babies have when they bounce on their parents knees at the rhythm of some nursery rhyme. The unlimited trust that babies have with their parents requires what romantic poets of English naturalism call "suspension of disbelief". The same element is necessary to connect with the songs and the surreal world of Kyle Andrews, where one reacts to life's…See More

Like The Desert Miss The Rain - Rock Visions From The Desert (Part 1)
The desert has always fascinated rock musicians: both the American desert and the Australian one (aka “outback”). If the primordial essence of songwriting (like literature writing) resides primarily as a solitary act, in solo effort, therefore desert – the place where solitude multiplies infinitely beyond sight – it’s the perfect scenery. Ernest Hemingway was right (quoting John Donne) when suggesting that “no man is an island” but also a statement like this one can get lost if placed among…See More

Album Review: Shane Tutmarc - So Hard To Make An Easy Getaway
Shane Tutmarc is definitely right: it’s really hard to make an easy getaway. Therefore there’s no use in trying, better live in reality and admit to unconditionally love Tom Waits and try to pay him a tribute from time to time. Why should Tutmarc escape from his own dimension (being a disciple, not a clone, of Tom Waits) when he fits so good in this part? To be more clear: in the field of music…See More

John Graveling commented on Gianfranco Callieri's blog post 'Neil Young: The Fugitive'
I think it's a well written and clearly thought out piece of writing. Every Neil afficianado has their own perspective and will debate the ratings for years to come. As for me I agree with some, I disagree with others, but that's the…
Gianfranco Callieri commented on Gianfranco Callieri's blog post 'Cameron McGill (Dance Band on the Titanic)'
Yeah, you should definitely have a listen, despite the fact that he's not well known, Cameron is definitely one of the greatest talents out there.
Jason Brayshaw commented on Gianfranco Callieri's blog post 'Neil Young: The Fugitive'
Oh . . . and Live at Massey Hall Toronto is greatest live album ever. The acoustics on this recording are so clear it spooks.
