Black Magic Disco is a new all-star band featuring Tom Greenwood (Jackie-O Motherfucker), Maurizio & Roberto Opalio (My Cat Is An Alien), and Ramona Ponzini (Painting Petals On Planet Ghost, Praxinoscope). The project was born when Greenwood invited the Opalios and Ponzini to perform with him during two months of European touring in May/June 2005. As one can imagine, the result was killer. The music that came out of these live performances was totally explosive, combining Ponzini's Japanese vocals and hypnotic chimes with Greenwood's psych-blues guitar attitude and wild turntablism. This is all layered over MCIAA's alien cosmic flux of electric guitars, space toys, and percussion to create a mixture of sounds unifying archaic & post-modern, Western & Eastern, and sky & earth. This debut represents a unique chance to experience almost eighty minutes of pure, magical live action, divided into four long tracks taken from the original live recordings.
