What Happened to the Spiders?

 

Here's one from Florence, Italy dark wave/electronic band Neon, formed in 1979 by Marcello Michelotti (the only permanent member). Together with Pankow, Diaframma, & Litfiba, they created a vital music scene in early to mid 80s Italy. 

 



Neon is: Marcello Michelotti - synthesizer & vocals 78-86; Piero Balleggi - synthesizer & keyboards 78-86; Nardo Lunardi - guitar 80-82; Ranieri Cerelli - guitars & devices 82-86; Leo Martera - drums 80-82,86; & Roberto Federighi - drums 82-85. 

 



Tracks1, 3, 5, 6, 11, & 12 from Rituals LP; 4 & 9 from Tapes of Darkness 12"; 2, 7, &13 from Obsessions 12"; 8 from Dark Age 12"; & 10 from Red Light 12". Track 9 listed on CD as "Spiders" but actually it is "Drivin’ (Tapes of Darkness version)". The tracks were switched during mastering. 

 

Neon - Memories: The Best of 1980-1986, Intuition Records INT280004, 2008.

    8. FYI, the two Mega links that AJ shared have been deleted. Just in case someone has them and cares to re-share them.

    9. I can't really do much about third party links. I'll check my back-up drives & see if I have them.
