ALMAGEST!
FUN HOUSE MIRRORS (BACKWARDS)
Fun House Mirrors is the 4th album by Almagest!, the 2nd under the Almagest! moniker being the first 2 releases credited to founding members Palumbo / Tomasini.
After four years the band comes back with a new sound far from the piano driven pieces of the previous Messier Objects (Tourette Records 2013) and manifesting itself into 5 long electric richly textured and arranged, as the title suggests conceptually and sonically distorted cinematic compositions made of the fabric of sensual and disturbing dreams and sang by the many voices of Ernesto Tomasini in a variety of European, lost and alien languages.
Almagest! is: Ernesto Tomasini ( known for his collaboration with Shackleton, Current 93, Coil, NWW...) , Fabrizio Modonese Palumbo (Larsen, XXL, Current 93...).
Engineered by Paul Beauchamp, produced by Palumbo and Tomasini, features contributions by Canadian cello player Julia Kent, drummer Marco "Il Bue" Schiavo" , multi-instrumentalist Maria Mallol Moya (from Lame / Gianni Giublena Rosacroce) and brass player Ramon Moro.
