Name: al isra w al miraj
Duration: P00H03M46S
Description: everything about this is made up, the mirage is the ghost's realm. all of this is sampled, reworked, slowed down, tampered with, made into a monster with no substance, the contours blur into one another beautifully and all that is authentic about this is a wood plank being scratched, satirically mimicking the tip of the vinyl, the mark of authenticity.

everything about this is made up, the mirage is the ghost's realm. all of this is sampled, reworked, slowed down, tampered with, made into a monster with no substance, the contours blur into one another beautifully and all that is authentic about this is a wood plank being scratched, satirically mimicking the tip of the vinyl, the mark of authenticity.

lyrics

ci sono cretini che hanno visto la madonna e ci sono cretini che non hanno visto la madonna
io sono un cretino che la madonna non l'ha vista mai
è l'estasi questa paradossale identità demenziale che svuota l'orante del suo soggetto e in cambio lo illude nell'oggettivazione di se' dentro un altro oggetto
tutto quanto è diverso, è dio
se vuoi stringere sei tu l'amplesso
mentre baci, la bocca sei tu
divina è l'illusione
questo è un santo.
