about

Moonlit Panacea is the brand new interdimensional journey of Rainbow Island's endless adventure, out on Riforma as digital and cassette! Blurred riddims and psychedelic ritual ambient music from the infamous quartet borned in Rome and now displaced around Europe's interstices.

"Interdimensional Folks, Gombo Riddims, Psydub against the Aggrocene!"

Finding a virtual peaceful spot despite Illmatrix troubles, Rainbow Island gets comfy. Moonlit Panacea growed in the last years through hours of free jam, both online and at home, followed by a final selection and reworking.
The tracks on Moonlit Panacea are wrapped in a sense of fantastic, unfolding a snug and meditative ritual.



“Dubby psychedelic ambient worlds full of elemental texture to immerse oneself in and drift away on” - Bandcamp Daily

“Rainbow Island’s music revels in instability, the sense this mirage-like dub could dissolve back into the drift from whence it came at a moment’s notice.” - The Quietus

“Cryptic undercurrents and effervescent psychedelia collide on the ritualistic rhythms of Rainbow Island’s hypnotic new album” - Foxy Digitalis

“The quartet create alternate realms and play with a real sense of freedom: the Destinations, goals undecided, the listener allowed to just be guided wherever the flow and direction of travel takes them” - Monolith Cocktail

The first side sneaks off through a digital crooked blues, rolling arpeggios and beats punctuated by digital cymbals. The relentless, therapeutic rhythm leads towards a safe place, indicated by the Birubu bird. Once the tulpas have left and after resting, one continues with the B-side.
More than 20 minutes of music-soaks: moony, dungeon-like ambient and comfy synths to heal wounds.

Electronic psychedelia totally free in its forms and ideas... losing itself in Lou Pappagallo's verbal flows, passing in an instant from mind-numbing micro-loops to astonish chasms. A sense of calm after the storm pervades the entire album. A feeling that heralds a future in which to set out again: pathetic lost walkers playing with the instruments of the folk of the future.


Here you have an excerpt of the jester poem that describes the album, inspired by Michail Bavarov critical studies about the possibility of exploring new world.
(Full poem inside the tape or dm us to get the PDF).




A rainbow stretched from horizon to horizon
Filling the sky with its beauty and joy
No matter how hard the wind tried to tear it down
The Rainbow Island remained a beacon of hope

The Illmatrix, a world without pain
where all is one, and nothing can die
The Illmatrix, a world of light
where all is alive, and nothing can die



Out of the world of the Illmatrix
a dimension that is false, chaotic and deep,
it had no promises to keep!
Drifting away from the LCD ocean tides
Waking up a in a green filled Sky
Above all others is the right spot.
Wacenna. wacenna, wacenna!

(........:)



Rainbow Island's dimensional patience
ensured that sanity could be attained in days.
In one living marker of comfort and fairness,
all hatch unhampered plans from sheer unholy intentions
for they are permanently bound against holodiscrimination.

Mathemagus Seemnoe waiting over the Vu-zu barriers bridges
the Chosen Deluge LV echoing around the castle
Omniput Quim Tch’i plucking is ever changing tobal
Upbringer P’Kyo projecting more foam lem inside us all
Togheter they stir, redefine and reset the collective ZAX to a colossal power level.
“We need the rest," King Driano said.
“We must celebrate tonight."

It was all but a Moonlit Panacea.
