“Kiawaltz” is commissioned and compiled by Old Captain to commemorate
the early musical rituals composed by Maurizio Pustianaz, a famous
Italian experimental artist known since 1984, and his project Gerstein,
whose first recordings featured on this compilation represent solo
melancholic piano ballads, experimental harsh sounds, synth-guitar
powerful extravaganza within post-industrial style. These rare materials
were obtained from the original 1986/89 tape releases issued 30 years
ago by such labels as Misty Circles, Infektion Prod., Minus Habens
Records, Broken Flag, Bekko Bunsen and Slaughter Productions. File
alongside Psychic TV, Ain Soph. The layout is made by Mauro Berchi
(Eibon Records) and the CD comes in a 4-panel gloss-laminated Digisleeve
limited to 250.
