Original copy of Maurizio Marsico's 1981 debut release as Monofonic Orchestra on Italian Records, one of the most, bizarre, original and enjoyable releases of Italian avant synth wave.

** condition: (record/cover) NM/NM (still in shrink) **

"The music of Maurizio Marsico is repetitive music. Mi. La. Short pieces 1, 2, 3, 4, 5... Every record Marsico makes is a conceptual sequence of drawings. Casual, soundtrack-like Casio-jazz cartoons. There is nothing to decipher here, it's all given already, all referenced. The appearances are pleasant and you get trapped in the depths of some cynical easy listening rhizome where ZNR merges with Steve Reich and Blue Gene Tyranny. Indeed, it has something of the Lovely Music elegance."
"Monofonicorchestra is not a disc recorded in mono / is not ambient music / is not funky / is not experimental music / is not funny / Monofonicorchestra is not avant-garde / is not pop / is not op / is not Dada / Monofonicorchestra is not fashion / is not hard-core / is not horror / is not Frigidaire." - Maurizio Marsico, at 10h20 on Wednesday, December 23rd, 1981.
