AFTER DARK REMASTERED

DOWNLOAD AFTER DARK HERE

Over 5 years ago we released a slow-burning label sampler at midnight on my birthday. The original pressing was a demo CDR that Ida No colored with markers & glued cutouts of my hand spraypainting our names on the world. It was supposed to be a limited edition of 237 copies meant for the merch tables of Texas & California. It exploded overnight. 77 minutes of analog electronic music mutating through Italo Disco, Krautrock, Electro, Giallo Cinema, & Pop. By now, After Dark seems like it's in its thousandth pressing...(we lost track a long time ago). And as we prepare for the release of After Dark 2, we wanted to share with you where it all began. The last 5 years seem like a beautiful blurry dream. Since the October 15th release date was announced back in July, everyone has grown increasingly anxious for the hard copy. At that time, we didn't know Karl Lagerfeld was going to commission Chromatics to choreograph 27 minutes of music for the Chanel runway. We also couldn't have known that Symmetry was going to be asked to score a top-secret motion picture for 2013. There is so much music we can't wait for you to hear. For the diehard fans, we're going to start leaking tracks next week. After slowly chiseling away at it since the spring of 2008, After Dark 2 is finally right around the corner. Thanks to everyone for being so enthusiastic & patient. I promise it's worth the wait. In the meantime, download the fully remastered version of the first After Dark from my soundcloud. I blended it together at 5 am this morning. Enjoy!

MIKE SIMONETTI "Circadian Rhythms" 12" OUT NOW

Mike Simonetti just released a new picture disk edit 12"
called "Circadian Rhtythms" on Public
Release Records out of San Francisco.  This is a special
one-off  "non-Italians" release by Mike, (because we like to
keep things tight in the Italians family)...

Order these fast, because they are extremely limited. 
Charting at #1 on the Juno 12" charts, and #5 on the overall Juno vinyl charts.

Since this is not an Italians Do It Better release there are special
ordering instructions.  These will be shipping out of New Jersey,
not LA, where IDIB mailorder is based, so these have
to be ordered separately. Unfortunately you cannot combine any IDIB
releases to your order because all our stock is in LA. But we are
keeping it cheap to try to make up for it.

prices:
USA: $10
Canada $14
Worldwide $20
(sorry overseas shipping is so high. it is more than the actual record)

PAYPAL ADDRESS:  wrackmybrains@yahoo.com

all prices are postage paid.  if you want to combine shipping for multiple
copies add $8 each additional copy- shipping included. When ordering
be sure to mention "picture disk" in the subject area so we know what
it is for.


LISTEN TO THE ENTIRE RECORD HERE!
