First Opus for this austrian teenager (only 19 years old) alternative singer/songwriter.
Anja is an infant prodigy, the voice is a wonder giude, the piano is the way, and the sadness is the background..
“Lovetune for Vacuum” is characterized by melancholic and intense atmosphere, where the piano and the voice are the masters, and the electronics and violin are the slaves!

8 Nux Vomica 5:30
9 One Night on Earth 4:08
10 House Where We All Live 5:06
this album never enjoyed great consideration, but i thinks it is an album felt deeply from the members of the group, the voice of the singer, a very live front man, (Andrews) give a personal identity at every song, and every melody is a part of a ballad interpreted and dissected.
Nux vomica is the homeopathic remedy indicated for people suffering mental stress and mental overload! …that’s ok…

10 Blind (meow version) 4:51
surely it’s not a milestone, not a master-work, it’s only a tiny and cute teenAged album. A voice like a child and a sound with strange combination affect by post rock and samples. A special note for the great booklet.
1 Tempi bui

10 Vicenza (la voglio anche io una base a)
11 Ballata del lavoro interinale
In the first album there were a lot of raw guitars and fuckin offhanded rock’n’roll. All were associated to relevants and not banals lirycs with social backgrounds.. a great start. This second opus overdraw the impressives lyrics and the attack to italian culture, politics and storical misdeed, a lot of ballad are introduced and the ruling of hard sound are lost (not in live show), surely a reverse, a popular approach to do accessible to the numb and dumb italian people the meaning of the songs..

12 Winter (What We Never Were After All) 4:08
It’s the sixth opus for the iceland band, the first without the sisters Gyða and Kristín Anna Valtýsdóttir, Gyða (piano) left in 2002, and Kristin (voice) left before this album. It’s strange that mum remain mum without their voices (singer plus coro), but it’s incredible! thi album is the best! Another voice Hildur (cellist) replace kristin and the digital sound leave space to the live instruments. the songs now are less rarefy of iceland, and more lightly as a fairy-tale’s videogame!! It’s a curious lullaby singed with jerk of minimal electronic sound. …goodluck!

11 Not Even Close To Your UnderstandingOf… 8:48
This is the first opus for the Nihilig, a german band that after two very experimental demotapes determine its sound.
It look like as a strange rock with a basic post rock inspiration, but they open windows in pop, emo, numetal (?##!).
A little stepback compared with the ambiguity of the murky drone of the demo.. or maybe…a consciousness of what Nihiling wants to play without shame! They are no so alternative!! and now?

10 Nei garage a Milano nord 4:19
This is the first real opus for Le Luci Della Centrale Elettrica, (he’s one and only).
Le Luci Della Centrale Elettrica=the lights of the electric central.
Vasco Brondi is the Name behind the lights..Voice and Guitar… for many people is a new prophet, for many other he’s only the winner of “Disc of the year” and “Artist of the year”.
for me is just a little guy with a guitar who poetically expresses the malaise of our times with great words!

Is the debut opus by trip hop artist DJ Shadow. It is noted for being one of the first instrumental albums created entirely from samples of other records.
It’s a milestone, one of the points of start of triphop/jungle and alternative electronic music!
Dj Shadow is the blender! and the samples of hip hop, show ot the television, funk, drum, voice of other artists are the ingredients.
it all began at midnight in a perfect world!!!

9 Holiday 3:09
A new album, and a new conception of style.. the oldest album were a bad proof of godspeed you black emperor works!
(maybe for Moya, component of both bands!?)
Hrsta based the album on breathless exasperated melodies of the priestess Broke, a lot of folk, folk, intimacy… intimacy, and in the voice of mike moya (the guitar)
An album for a nightmare of middle summer..
…recommended the gothic version of Holiday (bee gees)

this is the first opus.. dark darkest darkness .. a cynical and pragmatic album.. apparently cold .. an alphabet morse of melodies and drums.. then.. like all exasperation of appearance.. pure passion…
is the beginning of Curtis, and is a news for the british punk….
