After aver letto un interessante articolo su quello che reputo l'attuale miglior magazine musicale Italiano (mi riferisco alla testata Blow Up) , in cui si evidenzia la rivalutazione attuale del periodo Synth Wave/Post Punk degli '80s , con nuove formazioni ed artisti oscuri ormai datati , in certi casi di 'secondo piano' già allora (un trend musicale nuovamente in voga sembra , soprattutto negli Stati Uniti , 'ribattezzato' furbescamente Minimal Synth Wave o Cold Wave ...) , mi sono 'tuffato' nuovamente in determinati ascolti (per me all'epoca , seppur giovanissimo , fondamentali) , ripescando alcune 'entità' ormai nascoste e perdute in ambito del sottosuolo nazionale . Dopo aver dedicato alcuni post ad importanti (o meno , secondo i punti di vista ...) rappresentanti dell'Underground Italico , ho pensato di metter giù un altro post (niente a che vedere con la Cold Wave sopracitata , che reputo valida ma non troppo , 'pompata' oggi dai media di settore e dalla rete , come è stato nel caso del cosiddetto 'ElettroClash' qualche anno fa , forse più del dovuto ...) dedicato ai nostri '80s Indipendenti .
Un tormentato e fulgido esempio di Post Punk Italiano , un gruppo dalla discografia minimale , che probabilmente risulterà misconosciuto anche agli 'addetti ai lavori' , ai più intransigenti e 'Curtisiani' amanti del sottobosco Wave '80s del Belpaese .
Provenivano , ancora una volta ('aspetto' I'm very proud of) from the capital of the Renaissance and the Fine Arts, 'Guelph' Florence, Karnak, which were part of that underground musical movement that raised the city of the lily in the news nationally and internationally in the years '80s.
Along with a large group of artistic projects, which in summary assembled clubs, discos, fashion, visual art, music, and who has so forth, this group of boys participated in the activity with all the passion of music and the arts as possible without have adequate financial means and probably paying for everything from his own pocket, as is often needed to be done in that period. With the most popular
Litfiba, Diaphragm, Neon (to mention only the most 'popular' reality Florentine period) and other local bands, the Karnak had a busy concert schedule, often of support, which then became a reality with the production of a single vinyl, a seven-inch for Electric Eye Records, thanks to the mixing of Marcello Michelotti (frontman of the Neon), was printed in 1984 under the title "When the doors are closed" and contained only three pieces (the title track, "Saqqara lights" and "Northern tempest" ), the sound typically Dark / Post Punk, tribal influences from 'Albion' (the first Banshees, with some sections 'neworderiani', those of "Movement" for instance) and 'elective affinities' related to Egypt of the Pharaohs (the name of the band continues the temple of Luxor, including the cover of the disc confirms this).
On the Electric Eye Records, one must remember that it was an important independent record label et fundamental Italian, founded in 1982 think about Claudio Sorge, whose ranks they landed in the most diverse projects, from garage to Wave Rock, Industrial Electronic sound from the psychedelia, with many bands counted in it (to name a few Not Moving, Victrola, Effervescent Elephants, Sick Rose, the Boohoos, Polyactive etc ...) in the period from about 1982 to the early '90s, whose album "Gathered" (1982) was the very first compilation Wave Rock National Independent of the decade.
The Fiorentino Group was composed as follows: Francesco Cosi (vocals and sax), Francesco Caldini (guitars), Pierluigi Soldiers (bass) and Andrew Bellucci (drums), with the help of Sonia Butini (on violin).
'Anonymous' perhaps today, in a period in which it occurs, and luckily, a sort of 'resurrection' historical music of those years at the time were frantically Karnak the present, however, Florence was a 'milestone' of nightlife 'on stage' of the local Underground, with frequent passages through the main radio Radio 'Free' local, I mean ControRadio, still in operation, another 'historical memory' of quel lontano periodo .
Circondati 'da un sintomatico mistero' , dei Karnak si sono quasi del tutto perse le traccie .
Personalmente lo reputo un vero peccato , devo ammettere .
Scrivo 'quasi' perchè alcune 'impronte digitali' sono tornate a distanza di moltissimo tempo .
La prima traccia la possiamo trovare sul bellissimo box (contente quattro Cd) , edito nel 2007 dalla Spittle (etichetta che si 'prodiga' in fantastiche ristampe) , cofanetto dal titolo "Silence over Florence" (che credo sia già andato quasi esaurito , visto le non molte copie stampate ...) al cui interno possiamo trovare i Karnak con una sorta di 'opera omnia' contenente il loro unico vinile più altri eccellenti brani dal vivo e tratti demo tape allegedly from (including me like to remember "Drivin 'to Lubyanka", "Swinging In The Deep" and "Persepolis's Maze"), a case that, in my opinion, deserves' find' at all costs.
The second track of Karnak is the beautiful "nervous breakdown", a project that explores the '80s rock scene Wave Italian license plate, a CD and a DVD with music and interviews that summarize that fabulous decade (personal opinion, because 'lived' in side ...). In the chapter about the scene Fiorentina, Francesco So you review Karnak with its live and a brief interview. Other purchase
'forced'.
A time long gone, in which the passion for music, the smell the 'new' (fashion, literature, media, etc ...), the 'ri'cambio generation, tired of an extremely politicized as the previous decade gave rise to many forms of art and of life for many young (probably still 'tied' to that experience, like myself, but I guess now you know ...), which shows how the imagination, creativity and very few financial resources available (telephony, digital, network had only imagined the future as the science fiction of 'Urania' and Asimov then ...) so they could 'fruit', not even in economic terms, but simply as part of socialization, fun and togetherness of the town as possible.
Along with many youth teams (Jeunesse d'Ivoire, Dark Tales, Art Boulevard, State Of Art and many others, wrongly considered 'minor'), the group of Karnak then participated closely with the concert, in a more than decent to that artistic movement, while leaving little material vinilitico inheritance.
Given the 'revaluation' of certain sounds 'niche', at the international level, as I wrote at the beginning of this post, I found it fair to say that training has my opinion, really should be 'resurrected' from oblivion, unknown to most of today's young audiophile 'highly trained' as regards the web and I hope very curious to try a music time 'innovative', now difficult to recover if not completely lost.
Heroes in the Wind.
