Description:

Il Segno by My Cat Is An Alien, released 4 October 2007, includes the following tracks: "Il Segno" and more. This version of Il Segno comes as a 1xCD. -

My Cat Is an Alien entered the Space Room in October 2004 and recorded a dark and concrete improvisation; previously released on LP, stretched over two sides of vinyl, it is restored here to it's original state as a 30-minute monolith of caustic ruination. Beginning with a gloomy text entitled the Sign written by guitarist/lyricist Roberto Opalio, the track comes out of the smog with brother Maurizio's desolate acoustic guitar scratches, Roberto's electric space guitar scribbles and spat-out words of urban alienation, and Viggiu Vortex on percussion. Piano toy and toy keyboard were added later to enhance the surreal lyrics inspired by ghosts, a sense of psychic, cultural and social isolation in their hometown Torino, Italy, and the infinite lightness and beauty between the cement and the sky. Il Segno is about the mark of chance, avenues full of dust and fallen leaves, the Torino skyline's abandoned factories and chimneys with the mountains all around, and the dance of swallows at twilight, just before the darkness envelops everything. This CD reissue also has 23 minutes of extra screech - a pair of previously unreleased tracks recorded during the same sessions.

Recorded October 2000 at MCIAA's Space Room, Torino, Italy. 1&2 previously unreleased. Tracks taken from the same session.
