VINYL VERSION (out mid-December, 2019): 200 copies, including download code. PRE-ORDER at www.deadwaxrecords.es

Three years ago, in December 2016 we released an album containing the entire recorded output by Der Blaue Reiter, the Italian cold wave pioneers. The songs had been written between 1980 and 1981 and recorded in 1983 but all were shelved and unreleased back then, so it was a real honour for us to make them public for the first time ever. Stefano Tirone, the widely experienced musician, producer and mastermind behind Der Blaue Reiter always had the idea of bringing those great old songs up to date in a more electronic approach. Hence, in 2017 he decided to start re-recording the tracks using his vintage, exceptionally well-kept synthesizers and drum machines. The only non-electronic instrument here is an old F.H. Kühling vertical piano. For the vocals, Stefano used the original 1983 recording which together with the classic sound of all the instruments have preserved the minimalistic, primary feel of these cold wave anthems. So, are they modern? YES! Are they classic? YES! They sound just the way we love early electronics to sound and with an astounding technical quality!

Instruments used on the recordings:

Synthesizers: Korg MS-20, Korg Polysix, Roland Juno-106, Oberheim Matrix 1000
Drum machines: Korg Rhythm 55, Roland CR-78, Boss DR-55
F.H. Kühling acoustic vertical piano

We are so glad to present you these new versions on a limited, hand numbered edition of 200 vinyl copies, housed in a matt finish sleeve, including a download code.

Thank you for the second album. Got all three now on Bandcamp and they inspire me so much. Kids in school, then work, and kids back from school - then baths and homework - AND FINALLY a bit of time in my cobbled together mini studio in my one bedroom flat. YOU inspire me to make the effort to make all that stuff work. Sentient Helicopters
