Altered Zones

I discovered this A.T.R.O.X. track buried deep in one of the later volumes of the essential Tribute to Flexipop bootleg series. Clearly kosmiche-inspired, the track stood out from the usual, arpeggiated, minimal cold wave weirdness endemic to these compilations. Not simply a bit of nostalgia, but more like a reworking of the sounds of early Kraftwerk and Cluster using newer, 1980s synth technologies. Try it on repeat.

Look out for Falls Of Time, a 2xCD reissue of this Italian group's complete output on Spittle Records in June
