FRANCESCO MESSINA – Reflex LP Newspaper and shadow

and shadow

mixing brooding melodies with a choppy

who slyly gene-splice strands of mutant new wave

Arbeitswelt – und letztendlich gegen sich selbst als Teil des ganzen Irrsinns namens Gesellschaft

thereby creating a kind of speech instrument they could control and play as they would a synthesizer

FRANCESCO MESSINA – Reflex LP Newspaper and shadowFrancesco Messina is perhaps best known for his collaboration with fellow composer Raul Lovisoni on the album Prati Bagnati Del Monte Analogo, originally released on seminal Italian label Cramps in 1979. Along with contemporaries Franco Battiato, Juri Camisasca and Giusto Pio, Messina would help reshape the world of modern composition with an organic rawness and haunting beauty. In 1979, Messina was asked to perform at the Teatro Quartiere in Milano.
