1984 - Tu Nie Bedzie Rewolucji-Krucjata (7'' 1986)

1984 is one of the most importand Polish New Wave Bands, their dynamic cold wave sound remind of bands like Siekiera and Madame. During the years the band underwent some personell changes but they never really split.
In 2007 they released an album full of new songs called "4891", which is quite reminiscent of their older stuff.

The Stupid Set - You Guys Don't Exist! (CD 2006)

The Stupid Set are simply one of my fav bands coming from Italy. It was 1980, Stupid Set - from Bologna - exorded with a 7'', 4 pieces of pure electronic experimentation, including a cover of "Hello I Love You" of the Doors. It started the journey between avant-garde and electronic minimalist for the band formed by Giampiero Huber (Gaznevada), with the complicity of Paul Bazzani (Rusk Und Brusk), Giorgio Lavagna (Gaznevada) and Fabio Sabbioni. After this 7'' inch they recorded a pair of 12 inches for Mmmh Records, while a year later, the prevailing dark electronica wave noise, saw the band protagonist of "Hear The Rumble" in the company of Henry Serotti (Confusional Quartet). "Soul Trade" however was the title of a very ambitious project, which put into practice the cut-up memory of Burroughs. The album was never published and the group saw the departure of Fabio, who lately formed the Hi-Fi Bros. So they started the project "Psycho Disc", which was represented live in the summer of 1982. It was a multimedia show, in the early' 80s these forms of entertainment were quite unusual and "bizarre". It came shortly after the end of the group, which carved a dance version of a piece of "Psycho Disc", which for the occasion took the title "Do not Be Cold In The Summer Of Love."
