Experimental, Dark Ambient, Power Electronics, Noise; Limited Edition (Black Vinyl 400 copies) 2xVinyl LP – Ex Used condition
Hospital Productions present a digital edition for one of the most affective industrial/ambient collections in their catalogue, and one of the label’s most sought-after. Over the course of three cassettes (limited to just 99 copies) issued in 2012, Lussuria (“Lust” in Italian) drip fed these eight tracks of opiated, phantasmic SM atmospheres into the musical bloodstream, duly hailed by many as one of the most crucial set of tracks released that year. Reflecting the ritualistic appeal of late ’70s and early ’80s Italian industrial à la Cicciolina Holocaust, Sermonizer or MB, crossed with the epic claustrophobia of early material from the Cure and the decadent, voyeuristic compulsion of Pasolini flicks so enamoured by Coil, the enigmatic Lussuria has conceived nothing short of a dark ambient masterpiece for our times. It’s a De Quincey or De Sade-like meditation on a perceived American condition that percolates far beyond its borders, matching the militant oppression of Vatican Shadow. So many attempt this sound, yet it’s putative pleasures remain just out of grasp to most. Not so with Lussuria.
