Der Zeltweg: Italian Tapes Industrial Music 1982-1984 Volume 2 (Record Store Day 2016) vinyl

As the Mannequin founder and boss Alessandro Adriani says, the label has been "spreading cold waves since 2008", and it has become without a doubt one of our favourite imprints over this time. Constantly coming through with quality output from all over the 'dance' spectrum', Adriani has managed to retain a very characteristic frame of mind, and a wholesome sound that is immediately recognised as being Mannequin-esque. For RSD 2016, we have the second - and much anticipated - volume of the label's foray into industrial tape music from Adriani's home country, Italy. As expected, this gear is mind-blowing throughout, and it shows us just how much forward-thinking music was being made in the 1980's: take the two openers by Errata S Corrige and you'll receive a dub wash of metallic drum-waving, while Herpes Z delivers four utterly genre-blending tunes that range from the totally insane to the proto-techno. The B-side is strictly made up of material The Psychopathic Blossom, and to say this stuff is killer would be a massive understatement. Everything from noise to industrial and beyond; this compilation has what you desire.
