Teho Teardo & Blixa Bargeld

This is a quite unique collaboration, an unexpected one between the italian composer Teho Teardo and Blixa Bargeld, leader of Einstürzende Neubauten and former Bad Seeds. They first met during the realization of Ingiuria, a theatre pièce and right after that they collaborated on a song for a soundtrack, "A Quite Life". That song started the whole process of writing and producing an album together where songs and more experimental pieces could find a common ground.

MMM

MMM is the collaboration of Fiedel and Errorsmith. Their style is disco, techno and house influenced club music in the broadest sense. Since 1996 they release on their own label. The track 'Donna' from their second 12“ single became a real techno classic. This timeless disco-techno hybrid is still played out today, appeared on countless mix-cds made by DJ Hell to Boys Noize and animates myspace friends to ecstatic comments to this day. So it's no wonder that MMM has to meet from time to time to stamp the repressed records (stamp=artwork).

Nasty Tendency

Nasty Tendency are a heavy metal band founded in Forlì, Italy, in 2007. Their sound is influenced both by 70’s and 80’s U.S. hard-rock groups (Riot, Twisted Sister, Lizzy Borden…) and European ones, such as Grim Reaper, Ozzy Osbourne and Warlock, but the band always manages to maintain its own style. Nasty Tendency consist of Nikky Nails (vocals), Luke Nasty Kidd (guitars and backing vocals), Johnny Curly (drums) and Maury Lyon (bass and backing vocals), the latter having joined the band few months ago and being crucial for the group’s ultimate line-up.

Franco Battiato

Franco Battiato (born 1945 in Sicily, Italy) is an Italian singer-songwriter, composer, filmmaker and painter.
He is considered one of the most original personalities in italian music from the 1970s to now. Battiato's songs are dreamy, controversial collages of images and sensations, very experimental and convoluted, rich of esoteric, philosophical and East Asian religious themes. His collaborations (from 1994 onward) with the nihilistic-cynical philosopher Manlio Sgalambro have added further depth to his apparently nonsensical lyrics...

Vision Divine

VISION DIVINE was born in 1998, originally intended as Olaf Thorsen's solo project (Labyrinth's guitarist at the time). Very soon he starts collaborating again with Fabio Lione (lead singer of Labyrinth on their first album "No Limits" and current frontman of Rhapsody of Fire) and the solo project rapidly turns into a real band, its name being a combination of "Vision" -old Labyrinth's monicker when Olaf created the band- and "Divine" -the title intended for Olaf's solo album. The line-up got completed with Mat Stancioiu (drums), Andrew Mc Pauls (keyboards) and Andrea Tower Torricini (bass).

Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina

Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina (b. 3 February 1525 – 2 February 1526; d. 2 February 1594) was an Italian Renaissance composer and the most well-known 16th-century representative of the Roman School of musical composition. Palestrina became famous through his output of sacred music. He had an enormous influence on the development of Roman Catholic church music, and his work has often been seen as the culmination of Renaissance polyphony.
