ELEKTRIKTUS

With just an album under this name, and no mention of the musicians' identity, Elektriktus was a mysterious group that only appeared with an LP on the PDU label in 1976. Under the name Elektriktus hid Andrea Centazzo, musician and composer from Udine, who also released dozens of LP's mostly in the free jazz and avantgarde fields.

The album, called Electronic mind waves, includes eight synthesizer-led compositions that show a great influence from the German cosmic music; in fact this is one of the most krautrock-inspired albums from Italy, and not unlike some of the early works by Roberto Cacciapaglia. 
For this reason it's not a surprise that it appeared on PDU, as this record company distributed in Italy most of the production of the German Kosmische Kuriere and Ohr labels.

Musically speaking the album will appeal to the keyboards fans, though some interesting variations can be heard in some tracks, as an upright bass part in First wave.

Electronic mind waves is a rare album, never reissued on vinyl. It had a laminated single cover.
No foreign issues or counterfeits exist.

The only existing CD reissue is the one on AMS, released in 2007 with 1 bonus track.

Andrea Centazzo has his own website, www.andreacentazzo.com, but this doesn't even mention the Elektriktus album
