While some space themed music sounds like it has come from another planet, "Musica Elettronica" sounds like it's from another dimension! These sparse and hypnotic compositions may seem overtly simplistic but they have an unnerving quality that keeps the listener on edge. Probably the best example of this would be "Provision" which is essentially a high pitched tone with an uneven heartbeat underneath it; that something so simple could be so compelling is a credit to Grano's skills. It's even more impressive when you consider that this album was created in 1973. I'm not sure why all the track titles have photographic references but it just adds another layer of mystery to a truly strange and unique album. I believe I originally found this at Marsellus Wallace's Crate Favorites. I'd be interested to know what you make of this record so feel free to leave a message.
