小簡介
Kirlian Camera在國內(nèi)可能算無名之輩，但他實際卻是意大利electronic歷史上旗幟性的樂團。Kirlian Camera是70年代末由Angelo Bergamini 在帕爾馬組成，原名Suicide Commando。Bergamini十分鐘情于超自然現(xiàn)象及神秘學，而樂團的新名字就是根據(jù)蘇聯(lián)人Semion Kirlian所發(fā)明的傳說可以窺見尸體的某些肉眼不能看到的特征(比如：光環(huán)？)的照像機而來的。1981年發(fā)行了同名EP開始了Kirlian Camera偉大的音樂歷程，在他的早期作品中主要以合成器Pop為主混合了一些New Wave以及舞曲元素，隨著樂團思想的不斷成熟，隨后的風格愈向前衛(wèi)靠攏。他們的作品越來越黑暗，進入了electro-gothic的歷程中去，幾乎每張專輯都會加入不同的陰郁風格，從Industrial到Ambient，從Experimental到Drum N bass。這一切都是Bergamini個人的神經(jīng)質(zhì)最集成的反應(yīng)。而其他成員光榮的背景(有意大利另一黑暗團T.A.C.的Balestrazzi、Limbo的Becuzzi)使得Kirlian Camera一舉成為同歐洲最著名的實驗團。
The band really was born in 1979, called Suicide Commando, but this name was dropped for the existance of a namesake band. So, when Bergamini started to interest to paranormal phenomena, he knew about a special device invented by Semion Kirlian to take photos of the aura of the human body and from this took the name of the group, suggested by Mauro Montacchini.
Other initial components of the band were the keyboardist Fabrizio Chiari and the bassist Mauro Montacchini. In 1980 the singer Simona Buja joined the band and the group was completed.
The first live apparition was in 1980 at Teatro Cristallo in Milan (Italy).
Considered the Fathers of the Italian Electronic Music, the long career of Kirlian Camera started recording and sending 25 copies of the Dawn tape to the main Italian labels.
Contemporary, Montacchini left the band and he was replaced by Giorgio Vecchi. So the band records the first miniLP Kirlian Camera, released by Italian Records.
New changes of line-up in 1982: Fabrizio Chiari left the band to join East Wall, and his substitute is the polistrumentist Paul Sears, while Bruno Bizzarri replaced Vecchi.
Meanwhile some records for various labels follow (note that Passing Masks was released under the name of Simona Buja because the band was still contracted with Italian Records) and finally the first full-length LP, It Doesn’t Matter, Now, from which will be out two singles.
