RELEASE DATE
5/12/2015
A stellar re-discovery from the heyday of the Italian post-punk scene. In 1985,
Aqua
's sole release appeared, a self-titled mini-album; the four-piece from Turin was praised by the main publications and underground 'zines of the country for their rhythmic, enveloping music, with more than one cross-reference to the British scene. The six-track record had a lot in common with early new wave, focusing on a melodic and surreal style. A genre-defying 12" that combined some goth influences with dream-pop, with lyrics sung in English. This reissue includes 17 tracks of bonus content and detailed liner notes from veteran journalist
Federico Guglielmi
. In addition to the complete 1985 record, there are three tracks from various compilations, four from their first demo, five live extracts, and five more songs tentatively scheduled for a long-player that was not to be. That is the full parabola: from the very beginning in 1982 to the unfortunate split in 1988. Through different line-ups and different ideas, with the language switching a few times from English to Italian, this is the full spectrum of Aqua's melancholic sound. RIYL:
