If ever there was an object to encapsulate the spirit of Italian experimental music, it is composer and musician Roberto Musci’s debut album from 1984 The Loa of Music, recorded after a decade travelling the world – drifting between African, Indian, and the Near & Far East – studying music, making field recordings, and collecting instruments.

A work of field recording, musique concrète, electronics, synthesis, and instrumentation, pulling from countless musics from across the globe, the result is nothing short of brilliant and stunningly beautiful. Geographies and their sounds intertwine, while Musci’s interventions and instrumentation thread a path. Ambiences ripple, sounds and voices converse in a vision of unity that may only exist within sonic realms. Unquestionably seminal, and one of the most important works to emerge from Italy in the last 50 years.

First ever reissue on vinyl since the original release.
