Los Saicos - Demolición + Saicomania trailer

Los Saicos are from Perú. This is a huge WTF!? Punk is a movement that, according to most, started around 1974ish. Los Saicos were doing their thing 1964 - 1966. Thats a good ten years before the punk movement supposedly started… Perú? It’s hard to describe what an analomy this must have been and perhaps most surprising of all was that they were a HIT band in their time. Watch the trailer for more info. 

Moggi (a.k.a Piero Umiliani) - Officina Stellare

Moggi is an alias that was used by Piero Umiliani just for this album and one other as far as I can tell. Umiliani was a contemporary of Ennio Morricone but with a lot less recognition… perhaps unfairly so. He made jazz infused sound tracks for many Italian exploitation films in the 60’s and 70’s. This track is from a library record called “Tra Scienza e Fantascienza” from 1976 which is far more exploratory than the work he did for films. There is a lot of attention to detail in the textures. Headphones recommended. Oh and I love the title to this track.
