Cosmic Seeds by Ezy Minus

Straight from the Italian cosmic era, these tracks were recorded by composer Enzo Minuti, aka Ezy Minus, between the '70s and early '80 at his workshop/studio in Bologna, Studio 67. Minuti relied on very few collaborators and used minimal equipment, but made the most of techniques such as overdubbing and experimented freely with then-futuristic synths and drum machines. As a result, these productions combine a jazz-funk approach with lo-fi creativity and influences ranging from afro-tribal to dub, reggae and electronic music, all the while conveying a weird/leftfield vibe that makes them original and modern but still very groovy (the irresistible "Milano '73", for example, is a never-heard-before mixture between acid-jazz, electro-samba and cosmic funk). All previously unreleased except for the first two titles (which Four Flies reissued on 7" in June 2022), these 10 tracks are like a rainbow bringing together all the colours of cosmic music: from afro-dub ("Black Lights") and tropical funk ("Green Monkey") to cinematic disco ("Contraband Love"), and from acoustic/psychedelic space-pop ("Gang Leader") to the surreal afro-synth-space-funk of a little masterpiece of oddity like "Afro Galaxy Sound". A must-have for all lovers of rare and unusual Italian music!
