DESCRIPTION
This is the first reissue of my life and also my first real double album. Well, this might mean that I'm old enough to see my music being published again.
This double CD includes a record that was originally released on Fluid Audio in a very limited edition, which sold out very, very quickly.
At the time, Enrico—the other half of Open to the Sea back then—and I weren't satisfied with the mastering. So, now it's been renewed.
The second CD compiles all the EPs that OttS released as digital-only editions, connected to the puzzles that accompanied most of our albums. In this case, we completely reworked most of these tracks, which now include the indispensable contributions of the third member of the band, Saverio Rosi.
Everything is being released by the historic ADN label (home to Merzbow, Pierre Bastien, Christina Kubisch, Sigillum S and many others) in a three-panel digipack featuring the naïve paintings of, well, once again, my mother, Roberta Casini.
