Kirlian Camera - The 8th President - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

2018 . Hologram Moon is the first Kirlian Camera album after five years in which Elena Alice Fossi and Angelo Bergamini, amongst other things, engaged in their side project Spectra*Paris. In October 2017, the duo returned with the spectacular single InchSky CollapseInch, the title track of which was sung together with Covenant's Eskil Simonsson. It dominated the German Alternative Charts for several weeks and keeps heating up German dancefloors. However, InchSky CollapseInch was only a portend of something more epic. The album Hologram Moon shows Kirlian Camera at the peak of their turbulent career. Dependent are going to this hypnotic masterpiece in between pop, electronics and pathos in three different formats. Several compositions are bound to repeat the club success of past hits including another collaboration with Eskil Simonsson. Hologram Moon is also fascinating due to it's lyrics. The Italians are discussing a conspiracy theory that lent the album it's title, suggesting that the moon is no harmless earth satellite but a visual hologram hiding an artificial, possibly alien construct. Merely guesswork? In any case, on Hologram Moon, Kirlian Camera engage in a subversive play with perspectives and alternative realities. Album Tracks 1. Holograms 2. Sky Collapse (Feat.

2017 EP . 'Sky Collapse' is the overture of a storm to come. Not only is it the first single from Kirlian Camera's album Hologram Moon, but also a dark song about falling skies and seemingly hopeless scenarios. Plus, it marks the collaboration of two of the most distinguished names in dark electronic world, as Kirlian Camera work with Swedish electronic icons Covenant on the A-side version of the track, which is also a duet between singer Elena Alice Fossi and Covenant's Eskil Simonsson. Kirlian Camera Mastermind Angelo Bergamini InchSky Collapse represents memories from a recent hard period during which any possible light seemed to turn into deep darkness as if everything had been lost. The sky looked as if it had collapsed just when... an unexpected ray of hope started shining on a gloomy evening. Here we are now, describing quite an ordeal with simple words and Inchdance on all those ruinsInch, whether they stand for the past we briefly mentioned above or a hard future we'll have to face. Covenant own this particular feeling, this ability to link cold electronics with drama. We have always felt connected to Eskil Simonsson and his project, so this meeting today, on these strange roads, is just a natural result of such research in music.Inch Album Tracks 1. Sky Collapse (Feat. Covenant) 2. Sky Collapse (Dancetronic Mix) 3. Venus Maze (1700 2 2000) 4. Moonlight Sonata for Holograms (Alternative Version)

Extraordinary Italian band KIRLIAN CAMERA will gradually make their long out of stock albums available again via Dependent. Reissuing will begin with the band's 2004 modern classic InchThe Invisible FrontInch, which will be released on CD and as a limited edition for the first time on vinyl. The InchInvisible FrontInch of the album title can be understood musically. Well known to be crossing borders, KIRLIAN CAMERA followed a much more electronic course on InchThe Invisible FrontInch, regardless of any losses. At the same time, the Italians bid farewell to previous influences from Wave and Neo-folk, which was possibly a reaction to counter the political insinuations that the band was confronted with in the late 90s. Moreover, InchThe Invisible FrontInch was the first work to be produced and sung almost exclusively by the duo Angelo Bergamini and Elena Alice Fossi - with the exception of the artistically logical collaboration with American performance artist and former SWANS front woman Jarboe on the song 'A Woman's Dreams'. KIRLIAN CAMERA's existential claim to push the musical horizon of their listeners to it's limits and to constantly expand it also led them beyond those invisible frontlines. On InchThe Invisible FrontInch one can find melancholic-electronic pop anthems like the amazing 'K-Pax as well as electronic heavenly-voices-compositions ('Dead Zone in the Sky') and offside subversive sound collages of the caliber 'K-Space Y2'. Weird, sinister elements paired with fantastic electronic compositions lead stylistically into a musical borderland between such cult bands as KRAFTWERK and VISAGE. The tracks of KIRLIAN CAMERA often develop into late bloomers after repeated listening. Songs such as 'The Immaterial Children' and 'The Path of Flowers' in their timeless radiance are a testimonial to the lasting quality of the Italians. With it's transcendent and subversiv
