1 Fabio Orsi - Spring No More And Love Come In The Wind (38:46)
2 My Cat Is An Alien - Heart Of The Eart H (27:49)
Disque dédié à la mémoire d'Alan Lomax et première apparition de Fabio Orsi sur un vinyl, si je ne m'abuse...
Dedicated the legendary collector of folk music Alan Lomax comes this latest release from the incredibly prolific Italian brothers Roberto and Maurizio Opalio aka My Cat is an Alien. This time around the bring fellow Italian experimental type Fabio Orsi along for the ride, who kicks the disc off with a 40 minute slice of utterly breathtaking ambience. Using field recordings, guitars, a piano and the wind itself, Orsi structures a piece of crystalline beauty, embedding the themes of collected worldwide folk music beneath a mire of harmony and emotion. I rarely expect to be greeted by this kind of unashamed reverence within a MCIAA project, but I must say it’s a pleasant surprise and I’m now intrigued to hear more by Fabio Orsi. As for the MCIAA piece which follows, this is a recording of one of their legendary live shows in which they distort the sounds of their guitars and ‘space toys’ to create a sound truly cosmic. Space travelling folk music if you like, and the ghost of their biggest influence Alan Lomax is omnipresent throughout. Unmistakably adventurous and another hypnotic drone-journey – recommended!
