Kirlian Camera - Desert Inside / Drifting - Clear - VINYL LP

The two classic Kirlian Camera EPs InchThe Desert InsideInch (1997) and InchDriftingInch (1998) are in many aspects close to each other and by some even regarded as 'twins'. They represent the final phase of the Italian electro-pioneers just before the amazing Elena Alice Fossi became the band's permanent vocalist, but already revealing a fully matured and confident level of composition and sound. For the first time, InchThe Desert InsideInch and InchDriftingInch are made available on vinyl in the shape of one album, which features a complete visual reimagination with a new artwork and layout. Kirlian Camera have already celebrated an impressive 40th anniversary and entered the fifth decade of still fiery musical imagination. Angelo Bergamini's trademark musical handwriting remains the most consistent element, despite the band's mastermind always being open to explore, experiment, and push the limits of the electronic music genre to new frontiers. Multi-layered constructions as well as transcendent and subversive content have always been at the core of the art of Kirlian Camera. Their unapologetic, at times outrageous ability to provoke and to hold a truth-telling mirror to the world has sparked more than one controversy in the past. Yet instead of courting provocation for it's own sake, the Italians seek an artistic course through the extraordinary contrast between the pleasing and the gloomy, the otherworldly and the dreamy, which is exactly what makes them unique in the world of music.

Gatefold LP clear/white (marbled vinyl). According to numerous fans, Kirlian Camera's album InchCoroner's SunInch from 2006 is regarded as the band's finest creation. The unique style of this Italian duo remains unmatched, distinctive, and innovative. The rhythmic patterns, composition, and artistic effects showcased in each song are flawlessly executed. The excellence of InchCoroner's SunInch stems not only from the outstanding vocal talent of Elena Alice Fossi but also from it's remarkable musical approach that seamlessly combines sophisticated songwriting with elements of electro, techno, and impactful pop anthems, all infused with an apocalyptic aura.

The moving performances on Mike Clark and Michael Zilber's Mike Drop show that kindred spirits can be found no matter the distance. Though both Clark and Zilber came from the West Coast, they found their connection in a love of the serious soul of one of New York City's distinctive styles a seriously swinging, free range jazz.
