LAST COPY!

On February 24, 2001 Marco Corbelli take part in the performance Autopsia dell'opera d'arte vivente come vivisezione del corpo di dio in the Viareggio art gallery, Studio D'Arte Memoria Indelebile. Together with three other artists he staged an autopsy on a shapeless body, which represented the living work of art. Corbelli actively participated in the pseudo autopsy, as well as providing sound at the live event. The recordings of the sound performance were released two years later on Slaughter Productions in an extremely limited 3 CDr box set titled Close to a Corpse. The first two discs contained the complete live recording from the Tuscan art gallery. These are improvised synthesizer recordings, an infected and purulent soundtrack, which actually transports you to the mortuary of a corpse where you can smell its stench pervading your senses. The pauses between one burst of sounds and the other are just the introduction to the next nightmare! The third disc featured ten wonderful unreleased tracks recorded in the studio in September 2002 - except "Basic Procedure Autopsy" which was recorded and released in 1995) - without the use of vocals or other effects: just the faithful Sequential Circuits Six-Trak. Both the live tracks and those recorded in the studio represent the artist's sonic maturity and stand out from the rest of his discography for their eccentricity and the ability to make exceptional use of analog synthesizers, pulsating tones and enveloping frequencies by mixing a shocking atmosphere of hellish manifestation, where cruelty and compulsive disorders are more evident and interesting, showing Corbelli's deeper work, pushing himself further into the experience of his concrete "noise" vision.

This reissue presents the studio tracks on a double LP with the live tracks on a double CD, fully remastered by Andrea Marutti. Limited to 199 copies, reproducing the album's original cover art and inserts.
