Incredible Italian minimal synth from 1984, released on the always excellent Contempo Records (Death In Venice, Venus In Furs<\/a>, Diaframma, Voices<\/a>, as well as various 4AD distro in Italy).<\/p>\n

Tracks 1 and 3 are the standouts for me here, the first being a club friendly slice of synth perfection, and “The Kind” being the epic masterpiece on this 12”, complete with an arpeggiated 808 solo, the first I’ve heard in this style for sure.\u00a0\u00a0The other two tracks toss in some acoustic guitar with the electronics, and while they’re not as strong overall, they do a fine job of rounding out this excellent 12”.\u00a0 While it’s not a\u00a0musical touchstone,\u00a0the singer reminds me a bit of Peter Murphy at times- less so the deep croon and more\u00a0snide and biting. Seems like\u00a0the band was very into the synth scene at the time, and listed all the gear used to make the record on the back sleeve<\/a>.\u00a0 Some very iconic gear there!<\/p>\n
