Teslasonic – Foundation LP [MR033]

Foundation is set in the future when the world is barely remembered and humans have colonized the galaxy. The record introduces Donnie Ozone, a brilliant visionary rapper and psychohistorian whose job is to use lyrics and rhymes to predict the future. It is divided into six chapters, each showing a part of the bigger picture portrayed on the outstanding cover by Infidel. Teslasonic gathers together the galaxy’s top scientists and artists on a bleak outer planet and sets out to preserve the accumulated knowledge of humankind and begin a new human galactic empire based on Art, Science and Technology. He calls his sanctuary the Foundation and designs it to withstand a dark age of ignorance, barbarism, and warfare that he predicts will last for a long time.

Francesco Clemente & Heinrich Dressel – Il Faro [MR026]

CLEMENTE, Francesco/HEINRICH DRESSEL - Il Faro

Francesco Clemente and Heinrich Dressel cross the sea of sounds where everything is permitted. The outcome is an album that’s rich in fascinations, and divided in two parts: in the first one the Canadian composer plays some suspended and gentle sounds, while in the second one Dressel brings the listener to an eternal struggle between darkness and light, comfort and despair.

Polysick – Witness [MRX025]

Cool new release with sick JTC acid remix on Minimal Rome Records! Polysick has the honour to have the 25th release of the label, with two tracks for the MRX-Patiendum Est series. From the mysterious hypnotic visions of Digital Native (Planet Mu) and the Proustian reverie of Daydream (AudioMER), Polysick moves towards an obscure and sinister dancefloor with a 12” that hosts on the B-side a whirling acid remix by JTC.

Alessandro Parisi – Hic Sunt Leones [MROME024]

Hic Sunt Leones is a story about secret ancient technologies coming from pre-human civilization. Sacred steam-cyber punk electronix to describe mystic visions about laser marble, positron iron and extra-dimensional explorers too far from our technology-teenage era. Hindi’s Vimana, Israel’s Ark of the covenant, are just footsteps of what we inherit from our creators. The unknown camouflaged into the holy, the inexplicable into the dangerous: this is the aim of the keepers of our evolution It’s time to explore scary lands and finally tame the lions. MinimalRome is back with this great 8 tracks CD album.
