mannequin is sincerly proud to announce the second volume of the much acclaimed italian new wave italian compilation. danza meccanica is the latest, unmissable chapter in the story of italian post punk - the less traditionally rock branch. it outlines the approach taken by ten more or less unknown groups who all deserve rediscovery and to be remembered alongside luckier outfits. ten tracks that spell out the manifesto of a scene fascinated by electronic innovation, a scene that used the sounds coming out of english labels like factory, 4ad and mute as a reference point. the grey atmospheres and raincoats of a still-divided berlin, and those of manchester, which along with sheffield produced sounds destined to inspire future generations of musicians and producers. limited edition of 500 copies, 2 inserts

the royal we are six young dreamers who came together in early 2006, under inevitable glasgow rain to plot and do stuff and hang out in cafes as if in a godard movie. things still seemed to coincide and very quickly they had a bunch of pop songs, albeit an older, odder kind of pop reminiscent of the experimental pop of orange juice or esg or even the raincoats. the band signed to domino records imprint label geographic and are due to release their stunning debut self titled album soon. this is preceded by a special 7inch single, the fantastic all the rage. the track encapsulates their staggered swagger perfectly, glam on the cheap, sassy and fun the perfect pop moment.
