First time on vinyl. Originally released on cassette in the spring of 1984 together with the fifth issue of Tribal Cabaret fanzine -- included here in its original format. This is an invaluable document focusing on the obscure side of the '80s Italian post-punk scene. A composite picture drawn by a bunch of different and often under recorded groups from various Italian regions and cities. All together they contribute to defining a prominently dark yet vivid soundscape based on different approaches and styles. All these aspects are perfectly translated through the black-and-white art and graphics of the beautiful Tribal Cabaret fanzine. If you want to dive deep into the fringes of the '80s this is one of the places to start. Features Videozona, Nocteau, Cloudy Doll, Qfwfq, A.T.R.O.X., D.Ciullini, Detonazione, Illogico, Die Form, and F:A.R.-Prosthesis.
