1982-1983

Acting as the sole, highly elusive document of this obscure Italian ensemble, this deeply atmospheric release perfectly captures the melancholic isolation of the continental coldwave scene. '1982-1983' contrasts skeletal, primitive drum machine patterns with weeping, chorus-heavy guitar lines and mournful vocal deliveries. Discovered decades later by international DJs and archivists, the twelve-inch became an incredibly prized Holy Grail for dedicated collectors of minimal synth and darkwave.
