Compilation released in 2009 by italian Post-Punk/New Wave band Art Boulevard.
Art Boulevard, born in 1985 in Bergamo (northern Italy), immediately stood out from the pack for their aesthetic and existential attraction to post-punk combined with a musical vision that was straight out of the late sixties: 'rock as art' and not merely as an urgent expression of adolescent rebellion. This CD is a complete retrospective of all their songs, including their The Favorite Toy EP (which got rave reviews at the time, but like the great majority of Italian releases, disappeared into obscurity), their two cassettes and their songs from the Arezzo Wave and Pluto compilations. In the 1990s Art Boulevard, now a trio with a drum machine and the name Orange Party changed sound and identity, but that's another story.
