KIRLIAN CAMERA – “The Ice Curtain” (25-year classic)

Kirlian Camera
“The Ice Curtain”
2-CD (Solar Plexus/NovaTekk)

The Italian formation around Angelo Bergamini exists now for eighteen (!) years. With a new record company behind them, a kind of “best of” CD has now been released, which also contains lots of rare and no longer available songs as well as exclusive remixes. Besides the hit “The Desert inside” from last year, there is also a new version of their probably most successful title “Eclipse” so far. There is actually nothing missing on the double CD in the digipack that you would want. In the booklet you can also read the complete discography for the first time, and the only wish that remains is that at least as many more great releases from Kirlian Camera should follow. Well, Angelo, the things that can develop from self-therapy… It’s just a pity that there are so few cult formations like Kirlian Camera left today. But the Italians did it with their cold song atmosphere and Kirlian Camera typical rhythms. Thank you!!!
