La Musica Futurista Nell'italia E Nel Mondo
The Manifesto Of Futurism by Italian poet Filippo Marinetti, published in 1909, still has an intoxicating force. "We want to glorify war . . . to destroy museums, libraries, and academies of all kinds," wrote Marinetti. "We shall sing to the great crowds excited by work, pleasure or rioting, the multicoloured, many-voiced tides of revolution in modern capitals." Color was as important as force to the movement, and it was a search for new sound colors that fired the ambitions of artist and instru…

Without a Song
Original 1980 LP, few copies available and of course long out of print. Recorded in January 1980, almost one year after Free Soap, Vol 5.
Without a Song seems instilled with a new sense of humour and adventure.
The LP finds CCMC quoting from lounge piano ballads one moment,
whimsical comedy soundtracks the next and then lifting off into a full
force freakout. The dynamics are incredible, with the band achieving the
kind of volcanic volume associated with Japanese noise groups almost 15

Free Soap
