Floh De Cologne - Prima Freiheit
The most challenging and politicized band in 1970s Germany... a sort of Stormy Six-like satire mixed with proto-Residents experimentation.
 
Foetus - Pigswill
The albums by Jim Thirlwell, aka Foetus, are entire encyclopedias of apocalyptic visions, able to shape the tribal punk of the Birthday Party with funky jazz sarabandes and atonal orchestras. The Temple of shock, the first enemy of false respectability, and one of the most extreme languages ever...1985!
 
Rats - Nazi
The historic debut of the Rats with Claudia Lloyd on vocals... few copies in Italy but excellent feedback abroad, especially thanks to a certain John Peel (as well as Red Ronnie in Italy).

The Anti Group - Zulu
Adi Newton from Clock DVA is here!
 
Devo - Smart Patrol/Mr DNA live
Before everything disappears, let's drop this bomb!
 
Violet Eves - Galaxy Bar
We often make comparisons with other foreign groups because we feel the need to categorize, but here there’s no point in drawing parallels with Everything but the Girl, Propaganda, or Alison Moyet... quite simply, this is one of the most beautiful songs in Italian music (also don’t miss Tempesta magnetica and Aaria).
 
Z'ev - 50 Gates
Z'ev - Wipe Out (1982)
The undisputed star performer on any kind of metal sheet... he even played on titanium... industrial artists like him had a veritable arsenal of war, even though they were among the first opponents of Reagan's military spending (and maybe even today's EU)...
 
Walhalla - Di notte
Orixas - Vorrei Incontrarti
Treasures of Italian sophisti pop/jazz funk...Naples, 80s 🌅
 
Rare Italian Prog - Scorpyo - Destinazione Infinito (1977)
Sensational Italian heavy psych in the style of Amon Duul/Antonius Rex
 
Mantis - Eyes Of Fire
Strange Days - 18 Tons
Rarities in the style of Cockney Rebel, City Boy and other 70's wonders.

Quicksilver Messenger Service - The Fool
Some "modern" bands break up after a year of activity and, after squandering their earnings, think it's a good idea to get back together, like a teenage couple constantly breaking up and getting back together.
Music is serious business, not selfies on Instagram aka youporn.
