Three reviews chart Squadra Omega’s heady blend of krautrock, psychedelia and free jazz, with occasional math-rock edges. Altri Occhi ci Guardano is praised for its timeless, labyrinthine rhythms, while Le Nozze Chimiche showcases kraut-jazz flights and a notable 500-copy aluminum edition. One review raves about Sun Ra-styled live rituals with double drums and saxes. Overall mood: curious, ecstatic, and very non-zombie.
