fockewulf 190 – “body heat” (download)
Fockewulf 190 were a Human League-Ultravox-Kraftwerk-inspired Italian duo who were most active in the 80′s, although as recently as 2010, they released a cover of the classic Kraftwerk track “The Model.” They take their name from a WWII German fighter jet.
chromagain – “season of steel” (download)
Up until minutes ago, I thought that Chromagain was a new-ish band that was doing a really good job at sounding like New Order/Joy Division. Upon doing some last minute research, I discovered that Chromagain was actually an Italian Dark Wave/Minimal Synth group who released an EP called Any Colour You Like back in 1985. Mannequin Mailorder and Anna Logue Records have teamed up to re-release this EP, with other miscellaneous tracks under the name Any Colour We Liked. Very much worth a listen if you’re into the Factory Records-type sound.
