The Other Side Of Futurism (+fanzine)
First time on vinyl! Originally released on cassette in the spring of 1984 together with the 5th issue of Tribal Cabaret fanzine - included here in its original format - this is an invaluable document focusing on the obscure side of the 80's 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 b&w art and graphics of the beautiful Tribal Cabaret fanzine. If you want to dive deep into the fringes of the 80's this is one of the places to start. SIDE 1: 1. Videozona - The Underlife 2. Videozona - Vertigine 3. Nocteau - Going Slow 4.
