OFF! – OFF!
5 May 2012 | aaamusicWelcome to oxymoron corner, where today I’m trying to figure out an album that is a “grower” despite having a runtime of 16 minutes, which coincidentally – as everyone and their dog will doubtless tell you – is the … Read More

The Imagined Village – Bending the Dark
29 April 2012 | aaamusicThere’s nothing worse than listening to one song on an album, deciding it’s unique, and then assuming the other songs on the album are going to be mind-blowing, only to discover the majority of them sound pretty similar, in … Read More
Demons & Demons 2 – Lamberto Bava & Dario Argento
29 April 2012 | aaamusic
Dario Argento and Lamberto Bava are part of my cultural background. As a horror movies lover and Italian, I always felt these two nutcases were special. It only takes few minutes from Demons to realise there is some serious … Read More
