T.A.C. - Symphonie Industrielle . CD

Tomografia Assiale Computerizzata, frequently credited as the abbreviated T.A.C., is a post-industrial, experimental and electronica group: it was formed in Parma, Italy in 1981 with five members: Andrea Azzali, Simon Balestrazzi, Giorgio Barbuti, Fabio Cortesi and Giampaolo Terenziani.
In 1985, Andrea Azzali and Simon Balestrazzi remained the only members of T.A.C.
They decided to reconfigure their work around tape manipulation.
The two were recording in a studio in Florence and in an intense week, they realized Symphonie Industrielle.
With the emergence of this new formation, however, T.A.C. dedicated itself to new projects and live performances, and the album was actually abandoned.
Miraculously, the tapes have been recovered, and the result has been restored.
Symphonie Industrielle is a splendid piece of concrete music and the most obvious representation of the endless musical search of T.A.C.
A pearl that was about to be lost, and finally found again.
