Ianva
La Ballata Dell'ardito/memento X-c
Limited edition vinyl version, coming in a gatefold cover and including a poster. To mark both the Centenary of Italy's involvement in World War 1 and the 10th Anniversary of Ianva's (long deleted) debut on CD, here's both a tribute and a warm thank you to all Ianva fans. This is not simply a reissue but an encapsulation of the mood, the spirit and the events leading to the birth of the band and to the creation of their debut 'Disobbedisco!'. This pristine reissue restores the debut as it was originally conceived, prior to when the early WWI inspiration was replaced by the romance of D'Annunzio's 'Exploit of Fiume' - and the tragic love affair between Major Renzi and Elettra Stavros. Included are four previously released tracks (already part of the sold-out and impossible to find EP's 'La Ballata Dell'Ardito' and 'L'Occidente'), plus four outtakes from some early pre-'Disobbedisco!' sessions (including a rare demo-version of 'Terra Bruciata,' originally written by Italian wave band Mystery Plays).
