Confusional Quartet: In The Box auf 3 LPs

Product Information

Disc 1 is their 1980 self-titled LP, disc 2 is their 1981 10" EP repressed as a 12", and disc 3 is their 1981 3x 7" flexi discs entitled Documentario along with unreleased bonus tracks. Each LP in the box includes its own cover and printed inner sleeves. A happening, maybe you can call it that. One of the most original and unique bands to ever come out of Italy, one of the few bands able to switch from the prog-rock era to dislocated art forms, painting their music with traces of early electronica and a very typical post-punk twist (read: no wave). A bridge linked the band from Bologna (rock) to the musical past & present of the nation, with senses of urgency & creativity on top, a revolutionary aesthetic revealed between the lines.

No lyrics indeed, the music was truly instrumental, no social issues, but a future no less narrow was recalled by their sonic scenario. It's really hard to pin-point the band, they even re-created a singular version of the Sanremo hit »Volare« (Domenio Modugno) in a truly devolved way. The Italian soundtrack went through shock ther apy in the exotic manifesto »Samba Paperino« and in the jazz-rock ostinato of ronipoti. Now we can finally share the whole experience of this truly unique band with this comprehensive box. RIYL: Devo, DNA, Contortions, Magma
