"When each word, each
emotion, each impulse expires, when even the breathing to keep
a human-machine alive becomes useless, death and annihilation
become the only way possible. But, each death is followed by
a re-birth, a timid step towards the universe of senses and
perceptions, the cycle of nature and the rites of fertility
and fecundation. Black and white give in to lashes of colours,
explosions of pulse, and the heavenly bodies, that govern the
flowing of events, no longer indifferent and cynical, give us
back our sensitivity. Like dazzled human beings, we create our
earth, water, air and fire myths. Penetrating the lush garden
of Psiche and Eros, where every flash and sound acquire a metaphysical
value, we reach the sacred essence, and we make our spiritual
nature being in balance with the material one, beauty and wisdom
over blind violence".

ARAZZi is the third and last ATARAXIA's demotape recorded and
self-produced in 1992 and released in 1993 by Energeia.
The band has chosen not to change the original sound keeping
the early 90ies rough and instinctive spirit.
They have included to this re-issue a bonus track, "L'Ultimo
Arazzo", that had to be part of the original 1993 release
but, being not satisfied with the original version, they re-recorded
it right now with the participation of Riccardo Spaggiari on
drums.
"Sometimes, slowly walking through the rooms of an old
palace, on a wide wall we notice a tapestry. Lazy eyes, as absent,
pass by; curious eyes, as captured by enchantment, bewitched,
penetrate into it, irresistibly attracted by the restless presence
of hedges, fountains and animals that come into life opening
the dances in which we take part, as anomalous comedians or
sylvan interpreters of a bizarre picture". ATARAXIA
