Release Number 4 in the Swiss Dark Nights Retrò-series [re-releases of classics]! Style: post-punk, darkwave) Born in the underground scene of Bari/Italy during the early 90ies, the bands line-up contained Claudio Contessa (later and until now: Violet Tears) at guitars and vocals, Alessandro Porrelli guitars and drum machine programming and Massimo Quercia playing bass. Elegia recalls Italian dark wave and postpunk artistic mood, heavy influenced by Italian legends such as Carillon del Dolore and Diaframma, but also Cocteau Twins and early Christian Death. Their sound is melancholyc and grasping, weaving reverbered guitars, decadent melodies and drummings, with melting and rabid lyrics from a dark and nostalgic voice. This Demo 1995 includes 9 tracks [of which 6 from the original demo], recorded in the studio in 1995 and the bands ONLY official release. But the CD also contains 2 previously unreleased songs from the same session and a live-version of another track.
