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.

      My bad! Links us up with whatever else. Like glitter, you can never have too much Neon.

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

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

    Hey some of the songs sent me back (or forward) tangentially to Danse Society.
    A very dear band to my taste,,
    Good to listen to Neon.
