review

Stefano Musso alias ALIO DIE lives in a small village in the mountains of Lunigiana, where he is inspired by pure nature -surroundings. There he is also running a CD-label for new ambient dream music named HIC SUNT LEONES. ALIO DIE gives the perfect soundtrack to a journey into the realms of untouched nature; listen to animal voices, flutes, long dark drones, drummings, metallic sounds, small feedbacks and thunderous explosions... a kind of psychoactive illuminative music, the two long tracks here are in a darker vein as on recent ALIO DIE releases... Ideal Sounds for your psychognostic daydreams! BarakaH

review

'The Italian compser Stefano Musso, aka Alio Die, adds another item to his respectable discography, and this actually preceeds new works which include collaborations with Antonio Testa, Vidna Obmana and Amelia Cuni. THE WAY OF FIRE is a green vinyl featuring two tracks of pure soft and dark ambient; some noisy hints, pitched vocals and howling atmospheres secure the songs. Described as "music trying to reveal the mystery that lies in nature", this "deep calmful voyage into the heart of nature" displays once again the ability of one of the leading minds of this genre.'
