First ever vinyl reissue of Giusto Pio’s debut album. Originally released in 1979, Motore Immobile is a striking document of Italian minimalism. Consisting of two long form pieces, "Motore Immobile" and "Ananta" showcase Pio’s elegant restrain. The two tracks here transform the church organ into a sublime drone, with added violin, voice, and piano to help you get lost in the resonance. For fans of Italy’s minimal-avant movement, Franco Battiato, Lino Capra Vaccina, Luciano Cilio, Roberto Cacciapaglia, Francesco Messina, and Raul Lovisoni. A welcome reissue from Soave, especially with original copies selling for upwards of $300+ on the second hand market.
