Title:	Greetings From The Great Void
Label:	ECLIPSE RECORDS
Format:	2LP
Price:	$23.00
Catalog #:	ECLIP 054LP

"the third installment in a trilogy that began with MCIAA's The Rest is Silence, is the sound of The White Light; the movement from the physical to the psychic; one last breath before being consumed by the cosmic ether. Greetings From the Great Void shows its real strength in how it was constructed. Recorded over a two-day period in April 2005, there were no overdubs or outtakes. This is music straight from the spheres. Where there is nothing, there is everything. My Cat is an Alien emerge from these extreme conditions reborn. These recordings traverse light years of space, leaving stellar soundwaves flickering in the dust. The Opalios perform a cathartic psychedelic exorcism with each note searching for new harmonies amongst the wreckage of the cosmos. Once they pierce the heavens, they control galaxies like puppets on strings. If this is the music of The Great Void, it is a place I want to get lost in forever." --Brad Rose, Foxy Digitalis. Housed in a deluxe, beautiful gatefold sleeve with the Opalio brothers' artwork.

Title:	When the Windmill's Whirl Dies
Label:	ECLIPSE RECORDS
Format:	LP
Price:	$15.00
Catalog #:	ECLIP MCIAA2

"The new work by the space-brothers Maurizio and Roberto Opalio, alias My Cat Is An Alien. Both the words, recited and shaped by Roberto from his own homonymous poem that suggested the title of the album, and the oblique minimalism of the complex musical texture made of flowing space sounds, represent the abstract neo-expressionistic substratum of the whole corpus of the work. Moving throughout a nebula of space dust and debris, the starting spoken-word vocals alongside the percussive section sound as powerfully impressive as the violent imagery of trees beaten down by the storm, while the whispered silence of 'Perspective of Time' and 'Fallin'', on side two, discloses the emotional and existential universe of an isolated broken soul, lost in a world of inanity. This is the center of the No-thing Universe, where each single word or sound assumes the aspect of a sort of pagan prayer that speaks the language of astral folk-blues. In this context, MCIAA's outer space becomes a re-found uterus, meant to be the form of a new self-biogenesis. At the same time, space is conceived as symbol of the eternal theatre surrounding the mysterious cycle of life & death; such infinite space, despite such limited time. This cosmic-chant of the new millennium may heat our nights like a flame left to enlighten the shadows of the coldest darkness." Edition of 600 copies.

Title:	Through the Reflex of the Rain
Label:	FREE PORCUPINE SOCIETY
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.00
Catalog #:	FPS 011CD

"In early 2004, the free-floating guitar chords of My Cat Is An Alien interacted with the real voice of their hometown Torino, Italy. After several days of incessant winter rain, they let down a wide-stereo-range microphone fixed to a thirtyfoot-long cable from the window of their Space Room, which hung three feet off the ground, swinging by the wind, capturing the sounds of rain and cars from the outside streets. Inside the Space Room, Maurizio and Roberto Opalio performed alien guitar tunes and astral percussive textures, with Roberto mixing the outside soundscape in real-time with the inside improv session. Through The Reflex Of The Rain is a weird, intimate and very impressive atmosphere."
