All texts are published both in English and Italian. "Too true: in all music there are, in effect, a lot of sounds henceforth... more than that, too many; everything that we listen to has become heavy beyond measure, completely unbearable. Rather than chasing it we should look for how to escape from music. Everything in it is monolithic, frozen, and the notes of music which slowly, more or less, are thickening around the listeners wrap them all in dripping blankets of death." LP edition limited to 350 copies."
