Tomografia Assiale Computerizzata (T.A.C.) - Chaosphere CD

Finally available on CD, "Tomografia Assiale Computerizzata" is the debut album of the band of the same name, then better known by the acronym T.A.C. The LP was originally published in 1983 as the first release of the defunct Azteco Records, a label run by the band itself. Founded in Parma in 1981 by Andrea Azzali, Simon Balestrazzi, Giorgio Barbuti, Fabio Cortesi and Giampaolo Terenziani, in its first incarnation the band used to crossbreed rock and experimental music, combining tape-loops, synthesizers and metal percussions with the more traditional guitar, bass and drums. An historic release of the alternative Italian music scene, it expresses the torment of a momentous goal avoiding the limbo of aesthetic conventions through daring harmonic solutions that border the darkest restlessness, sometimes covered by outbursts of an uncontrollable urgency. Some of the tracks recall the most avant-jazz moments of Pere Ubu, while others bring to mind the experiments of early Cabaret Voltaire or the work of Nurse With Wound and the Residents. Music beyond the boundaries of space and time, a real vortex of emotions that emerge over the background of a mutant and elusive horizon.
