****** BLACK MAGIC DISCO debut CD out now! ******
**imprec148 – BLACK MAGIC DISCO – “s/t” CD (Important Records / USA)
(gatefold full-color cardboard jacket)
“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, founder 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
the 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.” (Important)

Back soon with new cosmic releases from the outer space!
Alien faith!
