Egisto Macchi ‎– Africa Minima (1972, LP, Italy)

This is a masterful blend of percussion, electronics, minimalistic passages and a slight bit of harder-hitting experimentations, all held together under the leadership of the revered composer Egisto Macchi – making this album's one of the greatest Italian library of the 70s. First reissue, coproduced with Andrea Galtieri (Cavalier Piscopo). Originally released on Ayna Records in 1972 as a private pressing, Africa Minimais the pinnacle of Egisto Macchi's rare LPs, being released at the time in an edition thought to be as low as 1 (!!!!). Super rad percussive music, as minimal as it is experimental, created for an obscure late-'70s documentary.
