Doxa Sinistra
Newsflashes (2x12")
After the re-issue on LP of 'Conveyer Belt' in 2008, and the re-issue on LP of 'Via Del Latte', (both on the Enfant Terrible label), November 2011 saw the re-issue on wax of the third and final Doxa Sinistra album, 'Newsflashes', originally released on cassette in 1988. This fully remastered version comes as a double-12", in an edition of 350, on Trumpett itself. Having operated as a duo on the previous albums, for Newsflashes Doxa Sinistra expanded to a four piece band, with the participation of the guitarists of Det Wiehl (Lebel Period/Staalplaat). As a result the sound was no longer merely industrial, and the compositions covered a much wider range than they had on 'Via Del Latte' and 'Conveyer Belt'. In a review, 23 years ago, Newsflashes was described as: "Manicured noise with superior musicianship and ideal textures equal the leading edge of intelligent sound. Synthesizers and excellent guitar riffs team up with full-speed rhythm boxes and vocoder vocals! This is progressive industrial music with a unique bite."
