Music before my time, yet still better than what the radio puts out today. I can't claim to know Advanced Art's history or accomplishments, or that I was there for their concerts, but I can attest that they put out some amazing tunes just from this. Prime examples of the darker side of new wave with its somber lyrics and gothic sounds. For those who wanted to hear the other side of the 80's.

Three new songs and three remixes from Italian darkwavers Ash Code will surely grace goth club speakers once we can go pick cobwebs again.

2nd listen: everything in this record is top notch, the sound, the songs, the performance. Can't get enough of it! 1st listen: I knew I needed this in my life as soon as Captive started playing while I was listening to the record label sampler!
