A true pearl of the Italian minimal synth scene from the '80s.
Tommy De Chirico
founded the post-punk band
Politburo
in Turin during 1981 together with
Maurizio Rubinetti
(
Sick Rose
) and
Massimo Aluffi
(
Ivan Siberia
). On his own, he released the 7"
Close Your Eyes/Flower Into the Factory
, produced and recorded at TKS Studio by the
Monuments
'
Mauro Tavella
between 1982 and 1983 and subsequently released by Turin's Shirak Records in 1984. When Politburo split in 1986, Tommy continued to experiment with various projects and sounds, including
Thugs
,
Quiet
(with members of Monuments and
Deafear
),
Noxeda
, and
Lacrimal
, with whom he still plays today. Also presented here are three bonus demo tracks: a rare version of "Close Your Eyes" and two out-takes from 1983: "Vuh-Ya" and "Tuxedo Dance." The original graphic cover was realized by
Bruno Zanichelli
aka
Pennarex
, an underground artist from Turin. Strongly recommended for fans of
Martin Dupont
,
Oppenheimer Analysis
,
Das Kabinette
,
Victrola
, and
Neon
.
