MAUTHAUSEN ORCHESTRA - VINYL MAFARKA [VINYL]

Popis - MAFARKA [VINYL]:
Mafarka is the first in a series of vinyl reissues dedicated to the Mauthausen Orchestra that will be released by Officina Fonografica Italiana over the next few months. A historic project led by Pierpaolo Zoppo, Mauthausen Orchestra is - along with Maurizio Bianchi - the name that best marked the Italian style of Power-Electronics of the early 80s, producing several releases between 1982 and 1986 and whose extreme nature had rarely appeared before in music. Distortions and saturations are the backbone of the language used by Mauthausen Orchestra, a project that while showing affinity with MB, Whitehouse and Ramleh, still keeps a definite and recognizable identity, regarding both attitude and content. In Mafarka, originally published in 1984 on cassette, devastating and abrasive sounds build a lucid madness that goes straight to the heart of the listener with cruel and terrifying dissonances. The ambiguous charm of discomfort and the seductive decadence of bleak existential scenarios, the lucid exploration of the innermost and hidden depths of the human mind, the intimate meaning of life on the border of the abyss of death are portrayed in two long tracks where individuality vanishes in an irreversible and definitive sense of absoluteness.
