"The Italians are great at creating surreal ambient music and Capricorni
Pneumatici stands proudly alongside the likes of Riccardo Sinigaglia,
Pierluigi Castellano, Luciano Dari, Arturo Stalteri, et al, yet
with a more oblique mysterious stance. Predominantly ring modulated
synthetic/percussive sounds, tape loops and location recordings,
it's an excellent tape containing just four long meandering dreamscapes
that ebb, flow, scuttle around strangely on occasions, and really
never break out beyond the ambient level or gaining any melodic
structure. It sits there painting sonic pictures before you, strange,
surreal and hypnotic." Alan Freeman - Audion
