Beginning in the 1980s Edition Giannozzo Berlin released many works by famous artists like Rolf Julius, Bill Fontana, and Akio Suzuki. "Natural History" was a weird cassette, released on the label in 1983 by Alvin Curran, the founder of the Rome-based improv group MEV. It's an unparalleled piece of musique concrete that takes uniquely observed images of everyday life and weaves lyrical interconnections between them.
