"The Importance Of Maracas In The Modern Age" is the second album of the Italian band Dilatazione.
An unclassifiable album, Dilatazione deliver a deliciously strange mixture of trance disco music à la Zappa and electronic rock with strong Canterbury Scene influences, also inspired both by the works of Ennio Morricone and more contemporary artists like Trans-Am or Tortoise.
A delirious, funny, subtle and daring album, "The Importance Of Maracas In The Modern Age" is like a soundtrack for a deranged B-movie where discotheques are invaded by pixies from another planet, come to remind us of the astonishing wonder and mystery of existence.
