The band used sheets of metal, hammers, PVC pipes, air compressors, corrugated tubes, etc, recorded with a Teac hi-fi tape deck and two Akai microphones suspended at different heights inside the tanks, directly connected to the tape deck. All recordings were made directly on the two-track recorder during the performance, without any digital or analogue intervention, and no overdubbing after recording. The first seven tracks are taken from the "Al-Azif" C45 tape published in 1987 on 666 Production, while the last four are part of the same recording session from June 1986, unused due to space constraints. Unavailable for nearly 40 years, "Al-Azif" is a jewel in the discography of Capricorni Pneumatici, one of the flagship projects of Italian industrial / esoteric underground in the 80's, alongside Ain Soph, Sigillum S, LAShTAL, and other representatives of this realm of sonic occultism.
