Weltschmerz — Capitale de la douleur

Canaan side-project, and yet another beautiful Dark Wave masterpiece. An oppressive, melancholic, suffering soundtrack for the end of this world. Impressive male & female vocals over a solid dark wave background.

The Tear Garden — For those who would walk with the gods

THE TEAR GARDEN – collective which cult does not cause any doubts. This project is rather esteemed not only admirers SKINNY PUPPY and THE LEGENDARY PINK DOTS (THE TEAR GARDEN it as a matter of fact cEvin Key Edward Ka-Spel). On compilation it is presented 10 ” the best ” tracks and two earlier not published to a composition. limited edition: 2000 copies!!!

Orchis — Тrait

Colloquio — Va tutto bene

Possibly one of the most melancholic italian wave bands, sounding like a sick and disturbed mixture between DEPECHE MODE and LE MASQUE. Deep, dense, morbid wave with impressive italian lyrics – these melodies will break you into little pieces…
