about

Following an idea of Italian disco guru Fred Ventura to publish some recordings that have remained in the vaults for more than 25 years, and thanks to the skillful "mastering touch" of Giovanni Versari, Spittle Records present a representative and intense snapshot of the Milanese new-wave scene of the early eighties with Milano New Wave: 1980-83 Redux.
Twelve tracks that recount the salient steps of the brief but intense career of four Milanese bands: from the post-punk of Other Side, to the oblique funk of State Of Art, to the Kraftwerk influences of La Maison, to the electro pop-wave of Jeunesse d'Ivoire.
"Boris Karloff" features Kubrix and 2+2=5 playing with La Maison, forming the group known as Entourage L'Asino.
These four bands illustrate the mood of an underground scene that burned out rapidly, mostly due to the indifference of the media and recording industry during those years.

TRACKLIST:
A1 Jeunesse D'Ivoire– A Gift Of Tears
A2 Jeunesse D'Ivoire– Silent Imagery
A3 Jeunesse D'Ivoire– Praise
A4 Other Side – The Taste Of The Fables

A6 Other Side – Contrition
