Hello to all of you and welcome to the first Final Muzik newsletter of 2017. We have been quiet – nevertheless busy - in the past few months so here is now the outcome of our quiet industry.
1) Out now: LISFRANK “Elevator” digi-CD (cat nr. FMLK101)
For the first time on CD, the reissue of Lisfrank’s “Elevator” album is now available on CD. “Elevator” is one of Final Muzik’s best sellers and it was originally printed on vinyl in December 2014. Lisfrank is the solo project by Fulvio Guidarelli, Italian synth-wave musician whose influential “Man Mask” 12” vinyl EP and the legendary “First Relation” compilation LP produced on his own label, Mask Productions, were released respectively in 1982 and 1983. Then, for some reason, Lisfrank disappeared but his unique sound made of electronic synth music, new wave and dark atmospheres remains fresh, original and innovative 30 years on. Fulvio Guidarelli started to record new songs in 2008, working on them until 2012: the fabulous result is “Elevator”, Lisfrank's comeback album after more than 30 years! It is a must have for any new wave, electronic and minimal-synth fan. Ten new songs with a warm variety of sounds that are quite far from the standard of the minimal-synth trend: anthemic synth-wave tracks (“Resurrection”, “Anna O”, “War”), melancholic dark electro 'ballads' (“Those Nights”), thrilling instrumental pieces (“Elevator”) and much more, all of them recorded using analogue instruments from the 80's. The CD reissue includes FIVE bonus tracks: “Frozen Presence (2012 Version)” and four new fantastic remixes. Artwork by renowned graphic artist Steve Lippert are taken up on the CD reissue. Remastered for CD reissue by Andrea Bellucci (Nerva/Red Sector A): the result is amazing, Lisfrank's sound is even more evocative and powerful. Digi-CD, limited edition of 300 copies. Price € 14,00
