L'Arbre du Ténéré, known in English as the Tree of Ténéré, was a solitary acacia that was once considered the most isolated tree on Earth, standing alone for over 400 kilometers. It was a landmark on caravan routes through the Ténéré region of the Sahara in Northeast Niger, until it was knocked down by a drunk truck driver in 1973.
Quando gli Uomini Adoravano la Luna is the follow-up to the duo’s debut full length La Pelle del Fantasma (Holidays Records). Composers Maurizio Abate and Giovanni Donadini (Ottaven, Fantamatres) build a dialogue between open improvisation and armonic structures, moving from ambient soundies to a texture of soft psychedelia, trying to create a musical portrait of this special tree and its history, from the lonely past to the shape of today where a metallic sculpture replaced it.
Out on red cassette.

This album is still the best example of the Italian underground experimental scene, as well as nailing the whole "Italian Occult Psychedelia" aesthetic. This has to be one of the most underrated albums of the 2010s. ALWAYSmusic
when I met this album, it made me come back to myself, a feeling that I did not have for a long time. It's an self explorational journey but also recognizable. Each track has their own place and feeling, I love them all majrachel
