egisto macchi - I Futuribili
**Edition of 500 (one time pressing). First ever official vinyl reissue of this ultra rare record, an exact replica of the 1972 LP remastered from original tapes** For too long Egisto Macchi has existed in the shadow of his contemporary, Ennio Morricone. But with this reissue of his absolutely mindblowing and obscure library release, that is probably about to change. 'I Futuribili', meaning 'The Futuristic' in Italian, is considered by heads such as Matthew "Woebot" Ingram (who contributes lucubrate liner notes) to be one of the finest in its class, "...a quintessential library music classic". It's a suite of incredible "cues" for use in TV and film, the kind of sounds which evoke so much vivid imagery associated with classic, noirish Italian flicks and undoubtedly imbue them with so much character. Like his work with the legendary Gruppo D'Improvvisazione Nuova Consonanza, he takes inspiration from both electronic music - which he was keenly invested in - and also his studies in the classical and avant-garde fields, utilising ideas of minimalism with psychedelia with the advanced possibilities of electronic studios to create haunting, vivid soundscapes and atmospheres which leave a lasting impression upon the listener. The LP works as a sophisticated suite, melding rich orchestral string arrangements with giant modular electronics and effected guitars within a supernatural soundsphere, all realised through a beautifully balanced mastery of the studio's capabilities. For many this reissue will be a fever dream come true, but for the uninitiated - this is an absolute must.
