"A musical in grey-green notes" -- between concept and music, swimming in the grey-green notes of an adventurous passion set during D"Annunzio"s Conquest of Fiume (1918-1920) where, for 16 months, everything seemed possible in that microcosm between the sky and the sea. A declaration of love to good old glittery nocturnal ballads of Britain"s most decadent glam tradition, and to those totem figures of Italian mainstream as Mina, Gabriella Ferri, old Italian Diva Milly, and Lucio Battisti. Completely devoted to its concept and its musical Italian character, with wide influences form the very first excellent Italian new wave, to the Maestros of the Pure Art of Filmscore (Ennio Morricone, Bruno Nicolai, Armando Trovajoli to name just a few); keeping always in mind flamboyant artists as Scott Walker and Marc Almond and chansonniers as Fabrizio De Andrè, Piero Ciampi and Jacques Brel, or Camp Divas as Milva or Ute Lemper. Released in January 2006 in a first edition Digipak with 16 pages booklet, IANVA"s debut-album has been re-released as a "nice price" second edition (jewelbox + 20 pages booklet) will also include "Un Sogno D"Elettra" and a live cover version of Jacques Brel"s "Amsterdam", two out-takes taken from the first and sold out miniCD "La Ballata Dell"Ardito".Track Listing:01 Intro: Colpo Di Maglio02 La Ballata Dell"Ardito03 Vittoria Mutilata04 (XII - IX - MCMXIX) Di Nuovo In Armi!05 Tango Della Menade06 Sangue Morlacco07 Per Non Dormire08 Traditi09 Fuoco A Fiume10 Muri D"Assenzio11 Outro: Amor Sola Lex [Ghost Track]12 O" Surdato "Nnammurato
