Anyone know the location of Battisti's cover shoot in Sagi's signature....so lovely, I'd like to know if that location still exists....or if today it is all Condos

That Rebus story is really confusing.

Hey guys. Sorry to be a pain in the ass, but what is with the mediocre sh*t ratings here on PA for Goblin's No Ho Sonno album? I find nothing wrong with it really. It's once again a clever blend of old and new Goblin art forms of sounds. Not only that the album is quite special being that it was 22 years, since Argento and Goblin worked together.
I'd say it's a great re-uniting. ;) I'd give the album a 4/5 easy. I really want to see the movie now as well.

Anyway. I'd love to hear what others think here. Micheal, I know you can shed some light on this for me. ;)

I would consider Non Ho Sonno to be a borderline success and even a little disappointing considering it was the first "real" Goblin album since Bagarozzo Mark.  Unfortunately I don't have time to write reviews now but three stars seems fair and about right to me.  Some of the material, like the main theme and especially Death Farm are classic Goblin, but much of the album feels like filler and excess in my opinion.  Not helping matters any is the abysmal film, one of Argento's worst and completely over-the-top in terms of gratuitous violence and gore; there is little to no actual suspense to play off Goblin's chilling score.

Guys, I wonder if you know this track?! I love it, so deranged and ferocious!

IL SISTEMA :`Sangue Sulle Ruote'



I just reviewed their compilation album, and this is a bit of a favourite!

That's why I like this genre so much, because of those deranged breaks, sorta like a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Oh no, Pierre!
I just love the noise and bluster of it, the rough-as-guts quality and dirty dangerous groove!

Regrettably and ironically I would have to place Simonetti's work with Daemonia as more enjoyable and successful than recent Goblin productions.  Granted I have not seen the latest incarnation live and cannot comment as such.  Michael is much more qualified in this regard.

sh*t. Did the film really suck that bad? Aghhhh I'm wanting to make an effort to see it, and hear how Goblin's music is hopefully used appropriately, but from you mr. Coaster it does not sound promising. Anyway, thank you for your insightful opinion. It helps.

Wow, did anybody attend this?!
