Albergo Intergalattico Spaziale
Albergo Intergalattico Spaziale is Mino Di Martino’s personal musical project after the success of his 60’s beat band called I Giganti. In this avant gardist project he is accompanied by Terra Di Benedetto (vocals). They published one album together in 1978. It features electro-acoustic tricks mixed with spacey / orchestrated synth soundscapes, electric organ chords and (abundant) lyrical female voices. A seminal synthesis work and a must have for fans Battiato’s early experiments, 70’s Berlin kosmische electronics and contemporary classical music.
