A double album that testifies the remarkable work carried out within the New Wave phenomenon by Viridanse (from Alessandria, Piedmont) between 1983-1987. Despite its short existence, the group has left an important mark in a time when the world of music was already full of proposals.

The first CD of this collection contains the 1984 EP "Benvenuto Cellini" with the addition of seven songs recorded live in Alessandria in July 1984. The second CD offers the entire album 1985 album "Mediterranea" and a selection of four songs from the "Psycho Session" tape, recorded in 1987, their last output before disbanding in 1988.

Influenced by the English Wave and the Florentine scene, Viridanse produced a very interesting repertoire; listening to this collection we notice a versatility that goes far beyond the usual New Wave tropes. The band reformed in 2014.

Presented in a gatefold outsized matt-laminate sleeve with mini 6-panel foldout Italian lyric booklet.
