The globalization gift
I just got an awesome gift from a friend… my birthday was just a few hours ago and I feel lucky and blessed by warm friendship, indeed.
… the gift sender from Toronto, Ontario, Canada ordered to a shop/wholesale in California, USA a Chinese music limited-edition vinyl disc pressed in Europe to an Italian.
We live in a such small world, indeed.
Many thanks to Len who honors me with his friendship and esteem 🙏🥂🙏🥇🎶

John Martyn’s master-tapes
From the vaults, with all the mojo of dust, stains and hand-written notes 🥇
One of my most-beloved musicians, ever ❤️
P.S. - yes! The yellow stickers says what you read… tapes are fragile and these gems must be preserved, don’t you!?!
Disk of the day - Mask of Confidence (Ritmo&Blu 2022)
A one of a kind record, folks!
If you love some Prog/Psych/fuzzy flavors this music will bring you in the past and immediately - at light-speed - in the future.
Jeff Collier, an American living in Berlin, a gifted, chameleon voice whose texture is as broad as it can be, reminding to me David Sylvian, Brian Ferry and Peter Blegvad, yet remaining brand-new and unique.
The instrumental palette is extremely various and sound is first-class, engineered at Ritmo&Blu premium studio by Stefano Castagna, who beside the hard work engineering, also actively contributed to final result both composing, arranging and playing several instruments.
A great disk of great music, sounding to my ears like a fresh rain in these extremely hot days.
Do you a favor, pals: grab a copy of this disk (look at attached pixies for details) and you won’t regret.
The cover artwork is by Lorenzo Castagna: kudos to him 👍
🥇🥇🥇🎶🎶🎶🥇🥇🥇
P.S. - yes, dear die-hard King Crimson’s scholars: Pat Mastelotto is part of the daredevils on the disk, but - hey! - this music doesn’t need “a star” to shine!
The whole is more than the sum of the parts, indeed.

Alvin Curran
I remember him with Musica Elettronica Viva in concert in early ‘70s: I was in my teens and - thanks to his works with Memè Perlini and Ciao 2001 magazine - I knew him before Terry Riley and LaMonte Young and Tony Conrad…
The memory of this concert is so well carved in my memory…
This sought-after disc gave to me same
shivers and goosebumps!

Analogtechnik DST15D SSV cartridge
Aka “La Scala”, the top of the line by Analogtechnik’s… soon to be tested and tasted by yours truly, thanking Maestro Daniel Kim 🥇
DST15D La Scala (VVS) is meteorit polepieces and vintage German-Made copper coils, made with a several days-long work to obtain the desired magnetic flux and weight.
A truly unique handmade jewel 🥇
Let’s hear if this beauty will be able to undermine my beloved DMT25 # 001 🎶🎶🎶

How long is now?
Such a weird question, isn’t it 😏?
Sure the “Germanlish” used on the tool doesn’t help 🎶

Ikea goes vinyl
Swedish House Mafia aka Ikea will soon introduce a turntable with Bluetooth and USB… sure its name will contain a lot of k å and ø, enough to be unpronounceable 😏
Yet, here is the interesting looking turntable:
