  • Strut will release a compilation of 1980s Italian new wave and electronic music called Mutazione in August. Walls member Alessio Natalizia has curated the album, which pulls together tracks made between 1980 and 1988. The labels says the music—a mix of "reactionary underground electronic and new wave rarities"—reflects the turbulent political mood that existed in Italy during the '80s. As Natalizia explains: "When people think of Italian music, they often think of Italo disco or prog rock. For me, this more experimental end of the new wave scene is the most exciting music to emerge from Italy over the last 30 years and, since much of it was originally released in such limited quantities, it has remained relatively undocumented until now." The two-disc compilation will be presented with sleeve notes penned by two of Italy’s leading music and cultural journalists, Andrea Pomini and Alberto Campo, as well as photos and artwork that document the era.
