Inox- Segni Dal Fiume 12”
I feel like I’ve had this 12” on my hard drive for ages, but for some reason it never really clicked with me until today. A shame, as it’s an excellent, catchy piece of Italian new wave that’s well worth hearing. The opening notes of “Waiting For You” immediately set the tone for a great listen, chock full of heavy drum pads, big guitars, sparkling synth arpeggios, female vocal melodies with just the right blend of joy and sadness, and even a little saxophone to drive the wave home. They almost come across like Italy’s answer to The Passions, Missing Persons, and Berlin, mixing both post-punk and wave influences seamlessly.
The band hailed from Turin, Italy and self-released this 12” in 1985, following it up with a full length LP in 1986 before disappearing into the ether. I’d love to hear that one if anyone happens to have a copy… Otherwise, hope you all enjoy this nice little slice of Italian new wave!

Hi Frank, forgive the time span of time, I came back from these comments at a fraction of my time only casually and I had this lucky opportunity.
Of course MP3 files will be taken from original vinyl in 320Kbps all this material is currently being prepared, and I need sometime to do, in fact, actually, I’m not in possessing the work in question in the vinyl support.
Then let’s stay tuned…. ….please!
