Icio Omegha - Psycho Cruise Mp3

Tracklist

Notes

On the occasion of Record Store Day 2018, Futuribile is glad to introduce Icio Omegha “Psyco Cruise”, a collection of songs and private recordings made between 1984 and 1991. The album also includes two exclusive extracts from a session that took place during our meeting in his studio on the island of Stromboli, in the summer of 2017. Icio Omegha, formerly known as Maurizio Aghemo, is a guitarist, a sitarist and keyboard player who was a member of a world music band active in the late 70s (UCO, Universal Condition Orchestra). Over the years, he has explored various musical genres, from ethnic music with an Indian flavor, up to the typical electronic digressions of the mid 80s. The only available source of these recordings are original cassette tapes of the period that we were able to listen with the artist, who allowed us to make this collection. Together with him we have chosen the most interesting pieces that best describe his artistic career. The audio quality of the cassettes was not excellent and our challenge was to restore them by intervening through a long work of sound cleaning and in some cases of editing, in order to make the recordings accessible and after many years to be able to share them with the public. Maurizio today is a record collector and painter who runs his art gallery in Stromboli where he exhibits his works. Currently engaged in the assembly of a modular system, he continues to produce experimental music on the island.
