Capricorni Pneunatici IX TAB emerges from the shadows of the late 1980s as a work that seems suspended between myth and sonic experimentation.
IX TAB reissue reviewed by John Pereyra
Translated from Spanish, sourced from John Pereyra FB post and his blog I’ve never wondered, nor have I ever heard of anyone doing so in any corner of the planet, on the periphery of the periphery of indie pop music. That is, artists and/or bands so radically removed from the …
Weird Bones Daz Lawrence reviews IX TAB reissue
Below text is an excerpt from the full review you can read on Weird bones website … And then there’s this. I’ll confess that the blurb completely sold me, and it would have had to have been a real dud for me not to appreciate something about it, even if …
Darkroom Magazine reviews Über Artaud reissue
There are works that don’t entirely belong to the time in which they were created. They remain suspended like restless entities, waiting to be evoked when the world is ready to listen to them. “Über Artaud” by Capricorni Pneumatici is one of these.

Bad Alchemy reviews CP Dissections
… Strange that I missed Capricorni Pneumatici, even though I am a Capricorn myself. The Italian duo inspired by Crowley, Lovecraft’s Azathoth and ‘Necronomicon’, Artaud’s ‘Tutuguri’, and William Blake’s prophecy had the makings of more than just a hidden gem in the 80s, from “Capricorni Pneumatici” and “Al-Azif” (1987), “Über …
Blow Up reviews CP Al-Azif
Nell’ambito del post-industrial, versante esoterico, non solo italico, i primi due lavori di Capricorni Pneumatici hanno notevole rilevanza. Le cassette erano complementari, uscirono entrambe nell’87 per la propria 666, e ospitavano le sessioni che il duo milanese aveva esperito all’interno di un luogo sotterraneo chiamato The Cave, in due giorni …
