激レア1stカセットが遂に復刻!!オリジナルに敬意を表したA5サイズの大判デジパック仕様!!オリジナルは作家自身のAtom Instituteより小部数リリース、その後Marco Corbelliが主宰したSlaughter Productionsより出版される事となる、80年代初頭より活動したダークウェーヴ、ミニマル・ミュージシャンFederico De Caroliの変名Argiopeの希少1stカセット[Death Ovary Traces]。宗教歌や賛美歌、クラシック曲、またプリペアド・ビニール&テープ、フィールド録音、ボーカルサウンドが、歪んだミュージック・コンクレートとしてドロドロと流れゆく説明不要の超傑作。





Reissue of Argiope’s debut cassette, released by Slaughter Productions in 1994 following a small run on the artist’s own Atom Institute label. Argiope project was born after Marco Corbelli proposed that Federico De Caroli / Deca record a release for Slaughter.

While Deca’s albums were still quite industrial, dark music, he felt that Marco deserved a much more extreme production than anything Deca recorded up to that point. The result was Argiope's debut release Death Ovary Traces, a work of depraved musique concrète. Prepared vinyl and tapes, field recordings, and raw vocal sounds were fed through a special digital distortion process, fragmenting religious hymns and classical pieces into obscure non-music.

CD is packaged in an A5-sized digipack paying homage to the original Slaughter Productions release.
