New batch of Cinedelic releases arrived today. Starting with the Messico reissue.
@million do you have one of the originals? This one is hard to find! I saw you contributed the discogs release data.
The reissue is on green or black vinyl, 600 copies, with a booklet w/ photos from Ayna and Italian + English translation of remarks from Ayna director Giuliano Giunti about the origins & history of the Ayna studio and his interactions with Macchi.
The library is unusual in track length- just five tracks, one 6'24" and the rest ~10 to 13 minutes. This is more melodic, particularly with the strings, while remaining austere and never without at least some hint of the kind of 'ticking clock' rhythmic qualities inherent to most of Macchi's compositions. Here some of the percussion has a clear Spanish/Mexican influence, and the instrumentation includes trumpet lines characteristic of a western score but without becoming a more clichéd spaghetti western.
I have never seen an original or heard this one before, and it's quite good if you like Macchi though pretty far from his strangest and most experimental stuff.
