In the beginning there was Tenax…rock club / black hole of youth in search of an identity…and not just musically speaking. In this pagan temple of torn army pants and calcified hair gel the Florentine new wave scene had just begun to take shape, and this box set maps the humble beginnings of that near-great metropolitan epic. 4 bands. 4 CDs.
Collected in a clear plastic box with a 16-page booklet (in English) that tells the tragic tale of 4 pioneers of the Italian new wave: no-wavers Polyactive and Karnak, and electro punk visionaries Rinf and Pankow. Includes previously unreleased material, demo tapes, 7” and everything else of interest from those primal subterranean years. Do not miss this imperative historical document!
