Ger­man label Anna Logue Re­cords pre­sents a li­mited edi­tion di­gipak CD re­lease by Car­mody. Car­mody were An­drea Lesmo (syn­thesiz­ers, tapes, bass, guitar) and Al­ber­to Ramel­la (voc­als) with the some help from Mas­similiano Casac­ci (guitar - nowadays in Sub­sonica and runn­ing the Casasonica Studios) at the later stage of their ex­ist­ence. They came from Torino, Italy, and were mates of Monu­ments and Chromagain, also fol­low­ing a similar mus­ical path with pre­dominant syn­thesiz­ers and drum mac­hines (Boss DR-55, Korg KPR-77, Roland TR-909) along with some spar­se guitars here and there. They re­cor­ded from 1981 to 1985 and is­sued three in­credib­ly rare demo tapes. “A Bet­t­er Spid­er” com­piles the best tracks from those tapes, bring­ing you some of the best electropop / electrowave music ever com­ing out of Italy. Car­mody would have so de­ser­ved to reach a wider audi­ence, es­pecial­ly the later stage tracks have had much poten­ti­al to be­come small hits, and then “Mes­seng­ers of Love” is de­finite­ly one most won­der­ful tracks ever re­cor­ded. There is no chan­ce you shall miss out on this one if you are into stuff like Monu­ments or early 80’s electronic wave music in gener­al. Li­mited stock availabil­ity.
