Whisper Not / The Wrong Holiday (feat. Vazz & La Bambola Del Dr Caligari)

A 11 track new wave album (41m 32s) — released August 11th 2014 on Forced Nostalgia

A-side features six tracks from Glasgow's Vazz, a duo consisting of Anna Howson & Hugh Small. "Whisper Not" was recorded at the legendary Hellfire Club in Glasgow in 1982 and was eventually released on limited edition cassette, before the band were signed up to appear on the 2xLP compilation "Antelopes & Alligators" on Operation Twilight - a sublabel of Belgium's infamous Les Disques Du Crepuscules. All tracks on "Whisper Not" are also available on CD format as part of the Vazz anthology compilation ((FN010CD).

B-side features Italy's La Bambola Del Dr Caligari and 5 tracks recorded between 1983 and 1986. The band were a short-lived minimal synth trio from Bologna, Italy, consisting of Judy Asquith (voice), Aurelium Spitty (sound engineer, synth, drum machines, effects) and J.R. Ewing (keyboards, effects). They recorded their first demo tape in early 1984 and sporadically played live in 1985/86, eventually arranging the soundtrack for an installation at the art gallery Number Zero (Bologna) in Feb 1986. Several self-produced tapes were recorded over the years but were never properly released.

Vazz: This is a trip, a real time machine, recorded at The Hellfire Club in Glasgow in 1982 and engineered by David Henderson evoking an alternate teenage Glasgow w/magical/dreamy far-off melodies over drum machines and keyboards and obscure female vocals. - David Keenan The Wire

Bambola: Groovy and sultry female vocals. Enthralling! - Benjamin Ewing Dusted Magazine
