Capricorni Pneumatici "IX TAB" CD Digipak (Eighth Tower Records)

Import from Italy

"Ix Tab was recorded between November 1987 and January 1988, and it is the first full-length album by Capricorni Pneumatici to make extensive use of the Yamaha DX7 synthesizer, which had previously been used in the creation of the two tracks A-Thele-Ber-Set / A-Ro-Go-Go-Ru for Zos-Kia II (first released on CD by Eighth Tower in the album Witchcraft). Alongside the DX7, the Revox A77 was used as an echo/effect unit and to manipulate vocals, as no digital effects were available at the time. The recordings involved experimental techniques, including the use of glass bottles as wind instruments and a 50Hz sine wave captured by moving a cardioid microphone within the space between two speakers emitting the frequency. This album includes some vocal parts attributed in the credits to an entity called Soda Caustica. "
