*2025 stock. 300 copies limited edition* Officine Schwartz, the pioneering Bergamo-based industrial collective, unveils a stunning remastered edition of their seminal debut album, Colonna Sonora Di Remanium Dentaurum Cr Co Mo. This limited-edition CD+DVD set, pressed by Luce Sia, captures the raw sonic essence of factory life, blending rhythmic clangs of machinery with choral worker anthems.

Originally tied to a groundbreaking 1988 multimedia performance lasting up to eight hours—echoing the landmark labor struggles at Dalmine's munitions factories—the album transforms industrial fatigue into disharmonic power. Tracks like "Inno dei lavoratori e delle officine" and "Ciao bella!" evoke collective identity through polyrhythmic percussion from barrels and scrap metal, channeling the ghosts of WWII bombings and postwar assembly lines.

As Western Europe's outpost of Eastern industrial aesthetics, Officine Schwartz forges music for chain-gang workers: the mechanical grind becomes a divine forge, with operaio arms wielding godlike force. The bonus DVD canonizes rare live footage from El Paso club and performance remnants, offering an immersive "bath in steel" for noise and experimental enthusiasts.
