got a package today from The Music Cartel - the strange little label that
licensed Panacea's "Twisted Designz" and the Electric Lounge comp - and i'm
trying to make sense of the one-sheet for Zenith's _Flowers of Intelligence_.
according to the all-holy press info,
"Zenith is Federico Franchi." ...producing under the names Vana Imago and
Shadow Dancers ... tracks licensed to Urban (PolyGram) and Bonzai (BMG) ...
hits such as "Raise Your Power," "Sonar Impulse," and "Alternative Creators."
... "Inspired by Aphex Twin and by the enormous talent of the modern
compositors [sic] like Steve Reich and Miles Davis, Federico goes to
intelligent techno. But Italy did not provide him with many outlets for his
music, so he decided to create his own label, Trance Communications Records.
The label was founded with Mario Di Giacomo and immediately garnered a lot of
attention. It was because of these early recordings that he attracted the
attention of Aphex Twin. His early recordings were licensed directly to their
Rephlex label." ... "The first record Federico created was with just a basic
midi computer; after that he joins his best friend for the creation of a home
recording studio (Cut Records Studio) where he created his first big
productions as Vana Imago and Shadow Dancers."
huh?
seems someone got his Federico factsheet crossed with Gianluigi di
Constanzo's.
IS there any Bochum Welt/Zenith connection? pHlow?
