*2022 stock. Limited edition of 500 copies.* Back in 2011 Massimo Villani and Marco Simonelli were connected by their common friend Lydia Lunch and met in Zürich with the intention of collaborating on a project. Over a sleepless weekend they conceived the tale of longing and desire that is Hotel Oriente. Marco wrote then the lyrics and Massimo conjured up with Pierce Wyss to create the soundtrack, that was recorded in Zürich at LOFT23. Hotel Oriente has been so far available as digital download only. This CD release is the second installation of the “europArabia” trilogy from Anarcocks that started in 2014 with Desert Rose and will see its achievement next year with a yet unnamed third and last chapter.
Very cinematic acoustic, calassic sounds mixed-up to complex electronics plus the Italian telling voice of Massimo. Massimo & Pierce used to be part of the Coil collective (R.I.P.) especially during their live shows.
Performed and produced by Massimo & Pierce
Lyrics by Marco Simonelli
