BLACK MAGIC DISCO - Black Magic Disco - CD
imprec148 - CD - $11.99 
Black Magic Disco is the new all-star band featuring Tom
Greenwood (Jackie-O Motherfucker), Maurizio &
Roberto Opalio (My Cat Is An Alien) and Ramona Ponzini
(Painting Petals On Planet Ghost, Praxinoscope).
The project was born out of an idea from Tom Greenwood, leader
of the avant-folk-blues ensemble JOMF, who invited Maurizio
and Roberto Opalio, aka the Italian improv duo My Cat Is An Alien
(MCIAA), and their close collaborator Ramona Ponzini (also involved
with the two brothers in the projects named Painting Petals On Planet
Ghost and Praxinoscope, as well as in the new collaboration with
Z'ev) to perform with him for two months of touring throughout all
Europe in May/ June 2005.
As one can imagine, the result was killer. The music which came
out of he live performances was totally explosive, combining Ramona's
Japanese vocals & hypnotic chimes with Greenwood's psych-blues
guitar attitude & wild turntablism, over MCIAA's alien cosmic
flux of electric guitars, space toys & percussions, creating
a still unheard mixture of sounds unifying archaic & post-modern,
western & eastern, sky & earth.
This debut CD represents a unique chance to experience almost 80
minutes of that pure and magic live action, divided in four long
tracks taken from the original live recordings.
BLACK MAGIC DISCO's logo comes from the pencil of Roberto Opalio;
the gatefold jacket CD artwork, curated by MCIAA contains some band
photos taken during the live performances included in the record.

debut solo recording and it was originally released in a tiny
private pressing on cdr which sold out immediately and has
since become one of MCIAA's most sought after releases......

Lunar
Eclipse was culled from over 30 hours of recordings taking
place, inedvertantly, on the equinox, lunar eclipse and winter
solstice of 2004 .The duo of Tom Carter (Charalambides) and
Robert Horton sound as if they are channeling the natural
power of these significant calender days into the music. They
both noticed something special was happening during the initial
recording session when they looked at a clock and realised that
they'd been playing for over 5 hours. |
