Kirlian Camera . Odyssey Europa - 4CD Box

Kirlian Camera is one of those special music projects that will have connoisseurs raving on about how good they are with glowing eyes, that manages to fuse sonic experiments, club-compatibility, anthemic pathos and a wholly unique aura into a one-of-a-kind experience and that has been able to span generations of fans. A comprehensive retrospective of this Italian cult band was more than overdue, especially since large parts of their older discography are now out of print and very hard to obtain. On this long-awaited compilation titled “Odyssey Europa”, Angelo Bergamini and Elena Alice Fossi are not content with just looking back on their past, though, but cleverly build a bridge to their current sound by including new recordings of their classic tunes, as well. Thus, cult-hits, such as “Eclipse”, “Heldenplatz” or “Erinnerung”, all mandatory spins at any decent underground club, are included both in their rare original versions and in new interpretations that convey the full power of Kirlian Camera anno 2009. “Odyssey Europa” will be released as a regular double CD that features new versions of classic songs and the best tracks from recent history plus the long-deleted original versions. The real fan will want to go for the classy 4-CD box set, though, that comes in a lavish book-style hard cover with deluxe booklet and 2 posters and also includes selected rarities, unreleased tracks and remixes on two more discs. “Odyssey Europa” – the ultimate Kirlian Camera!
