My Cat Is An Alien - The Cosmological Eye Trilogy




My Cat Is An Alien is the intergalactic majesty of Maurizio & Roberto Opalio.

Their recordings are instinctive and they don't go back to their recordings and overdub. You just get to see what in is their imaginations, and they are centuries ahead of us. When you look at the expanse of their work (especially their live recordings) they cover more ground than you could possibly imagine. Create your own pigeonholes if that makes you happy.

The first two parts of the trilogy were released as CDRs on their own Opax label in 2003 and 2004. Last Visible Dog added the third and brought this together as a three CD set in 2005.

You should check out Elliptical Noise Records where there are astonishing things. Huge and hugely exciting sets that make me die inside because I can't afford to buy them at the moment. And you can track the Alien Cat here.

I've loved these Turin brothers for at least a decade. Straight from my first listen. I even have a couple of pieces of Robert's artwork hanging on my walls. Given my love of the MCIAA brothers and my adoration of all things feline, I can't understand why I haven't posted any of their work before. Maybe it was hidden in plain sight.
