Mysterious and magmatic dark ambient from Italian duo Capricorni Pneumatici who started in 1987, taking their name from an Aleister Crowley book.

The track Witchcraft was originally released by SSS Production on a C25 cassette in 1989. Eighth Tower Records brings to light, re-releasing on CD, this esoteric industrial gem by Capricorni Pneumatici, along with three entirely unreleased tracks. Witchcraft was largely inspired by reading the Compendium Maleficarum by Francesco Maria Guazzo from 1608, in a copy of the famous 1929 Rodker edition edited by Montague Summers.

The track was created using the DX7 synth, tapes to manipulate field recordings sounds, and a soprano saxophone recorded in an underground environment "The Cave", where the recordings of CP1 and Al-Azif were made. Larger parts of the sax sessions recorded in the cave were later published in "Vala, or the Four Zoas" (Second Zoa) a few months later. A-Thele-ber-Seth and A-Ro-Go-Go-Ru were recorded around the end of 1987 and attached to the zine Zos-Kia, Vol.2. The first piece was inspired by Kabbalistic rituals (as per texts published in that issue of Zos-Kia), while the second refers to Voodoo cults. These two tracks were printed on a cassette exclusively attached to the zine Zos-Kia, sold in a run of 100 copies in an esoteric bookstore in the Porta Venezia area of Milan. Schmumm, on the other hand, was recorded a little more than a year after Witchcraft. The track makes extensive use of field recordings made in London and other locations. The recordings were then edited and processed in a studio in Winchester. The whole thing was then re-edited, reprocessed, and combined with recordings secretly made in the church of a medieval village in Calabria (Southern Italy), while local women chanted "spells".
