ABRA HAD ABRA-Aura Excrementa-(Spin Box-c46-Italy-1992)

Another astonishing cassette by the genius Devis G.,I wrote about him already  when I posted the cassette by Teatro Satanico,that post is here.
I also already posted some music by Abra Had Abra,here 
the split tape with Nigredo.
I passed this rip to Vita Ignes Corpus Lignum 5 years ago,I am going to re-post it here with the nice review by Crepusculum,thanx mate.

 [[[notes from ((F@R@W@Y))]]
" -the tape was distributed by SIN ORG a quite famous distro/label of industrial music back in the 90s in Italy, run by Gianfranco Santoro who was also doing a fanzine.
-the a side was recorded live in a social squatted center in Rovereto(northen Italy)-this squat was a very famous anarchist squat back in the 90s.
-the second side appears to be 2 separate tracks although it's listed as only one track-I separated the tracks as there was a very long silence in between, and I titled them part 1 and part 2- I think the only one who knows the truth is the musician: Devis G."
Il Morto [thee dead] - tis brilliant shimmering ambiance with strange eruptions ov analog synthesizer work!! vocoded incantations, minimally clanging drum sequencing, and vibraphone-type synthesis are interspersed in this great live recording in which conversations occasionally appear from those who were witnessing thee spectacle in this appropriated venue..
Da`ath [believe this title tis a play on thee word death] - More great shimmering occult atmospheric sonorism!!
Luna Anale [anal moon] - tis an Italian priest giving a sermon about rock music and satanism, and about other priests finding out about rock records having subliminal satanic messages..
Soundtrack For The Titles Of The Journey Of The Soul From Death To Rebirth
Part 1 - one may think here ov thee coiled serpent ov thee kundalini; as thee astonishing synthesis rises from thee base ov thee spine [Sushumna] to top of the head merging with the sahasrara, or crown chakra.. Thee arousing of kundalini tis said to be thee one and only way towards thee realisation ov gnosis or divine wisdom..
Part 2 - wavering analog synthesis with a slow and elusive melodic line is soon met with excellent tabla accompaniment for what tis assumed here to be thee rapresentaion ov thee rebirth ov thee soul...


Track listing:
A1 Il Morto
A2 Da'ath
A3 Luna Anale

NIGREDO/ABRA HAD ABRA-Split Tape-(Contaminated Productions-Italy-c60-1993)

 
This split tape was released by three different labels : the Italian  Contaminated Prods and Teatrum Chemicum and the Portuguese Putrefactio.
I spoke already about this  ritual industrial/ambient band with medieval overtones from Portugal called Nigredo when I posted the tapes Cantione Porfanae and CArmina Defunctorum.
Abra Had Abra is an Italian project focused on occultism and paganism, the masterminds behind it are Devis Granziera  and  Stefano Barban.
Contaminated Productions made 31 copies of this tape as requested by the artists-only exchanged them with other tape-productions,it came out in a special  package made of  hand made cover of silver-coated cardboard, includes some kind of fiber/hair, piece of x-ray film and insert with tracklists and infos.Inscription on insert: "This tape is not for sale".
This is the same rip that I passed to Vita Ignes Corpus Lignum blog few years ago.
This will make happy all the fans of esoteric electronix,dark ambient and pagan ritual muzik.
