Alban Darche Hyprcub: Crooked House
by Alberto Bazzurro
Un po' megalomane, in tutta onestà, Alban Darche ci è sempre apparso, non fosse altro che per la magniloquenza con cui documenta la propria attività.

Gene Segal: Mental Images
by Dave Wayne
Guitarist and composer Gene Segal has put the intervening years between Mental Images and his recording debut, Hypnotic (Innova Records, 2009), to good use.
