Vital reproduction of the mysterious Neapolitan multi-instrumentalist Luciano Cilio’s solitary masterpiece Dialoghi Del Presente.
A record, or more an eternal statement, that’s long been held in a position extreme reverie for those entrenched in the world of the Italian avant-garde for a variety of reasons. Firstly, few people seem to have even seen let alone own the original, yet more importantly the music itself. Cilio’s minimalist compositions are crushingly beautiful and deeply entrenched in a sadness so tangible it really runs a current of electricity through the nervous system. The space between the notes carries great weight and sucks us into his private universe where guitar stings flutter around lonely piano keys, sighing woodwind and pensive strings. There’s few records we’ve encountered so unbearably tender where it really feels as if the artist is attempting to communicate (or better exorcise) an excruciating sadness through the only means they know, their music. Cilio sadly took his own life at the age of 33, leaving this behind as his epitaph. Now at long last faithfully reproduced in all its glory - the real deal. (Mint / New)
