  • Copinya de Volta Verda 19/03/18. Chicago II
    pgm 465
    Many years ago, before the band Chicago was synonymous with casino concerts, Darwin Award-worthy deaths, and oldies radio stations, they were one of the most cutting edge rock groups around. Before they were seventy-year old men playing all their big hits for the ten-thousandth time to similarly aged patrons, they were true artists, stirring up passion with incredible precision and intensity. This, their second album, is one of the more remarkable accomplishments of the era in which it was released.

  • Copinya de Volta Verda 28/02/18. Nick Cave. Kicking against the pricks
    pgm 456
    The selection of songs is quite impressive, ranging from old standards like "Long Black Veil" to everything from John Lee Hooker's "I'm Gonna Kill That Woman" and Gene Pitney's pop aria "Something's Gotten Hold of My Heart." Matching the range of material, the Seeds are well on their way to becoming the rock/cabaret/blues showband of Cave's dreams, able to conjure up haunting, winsome atmospheres ("Sleeping Annaleah") as much as higher-volume takes (Roy Orbison's "Running Scared," the Velvet Underground's "All Tomorrow's Parties"). The version of Leadbelly's "Black Betty" is particularly grand, Harvey's drumming driving the track with ominous power. This said, often holding everything back is the key, as the creepout build of "Hey Joe" demonstrates. Even more striking is how Cave's own vocals rebut the charges that all he ever does is overdramatize everything he sings -- consider the husky, purring delivery on Johnny Cash's "The Singer." Other winners include a masterful version of Jimmy Webb's "By the Time I Get to Phoenix" and the stately, album-closing "The Carnival Is Over," originally a mid-'60s hit for the Seekers.
