TRAX 0983 ANTHEMS - CDR REPRINT.
This physical edition edited in CDR format, contain the same audio material content in the related RMEDL WEB

EDITION, presented with an alternatiìve package design by RMEDL | SG.

After over a quarter of a century, some materials produced as part of the "modular project" TRAX, promoted from

1981 to 1987 by Piermario Ciani, Vittore Baroni and Massimo Giacon, are now made available also as free

downloads in RMEDL Web Editions.

For each work a limited Collector’s Edition on cd, with more multimedial materials, will be also produced. The

first release in this new series of reprints - following the double cd Notterossa / Rednight appeared in 2007

on Small Voices - is the concept album Anthems originally appeared in september 1983, with 21 new, ironical and

provocative versions of national anthems from real and imaginary countries, created by musicians from various

nations.

The "concept" was issued in two different editions, as a vinyl LP (in 1000 copies) and as a cassette with

booklet (500 copies). This reprint contains all the anthems included in the two TRAX products, plus a double

unpublished anthem dedicated to All Frontiers, created for the occasion by Gianluca Becuzzi, who also

skillfully remastered all the tracks from their original supports. I hope that these compositions so diverse in

style and conception, a testimony of a particularly lively and creative period in the international underground

scene, may still instruct and entertain: you have a chance here to listen to a young Masami Akita in one of the

rare "musical" works in the huge Merzbow catalogue, as well as to discover gems from the fantastical nations of

Naon and Akademgorod.

For sure, Laibach enjoyed their participation in the project, since they appropriated the very same idea in

2006 for their Volk album.Heartfelt thanks to all the collaborators old and new: enjoy this planetary

networking experience! Vittore Baroni, February 2010. The Winzip file include a Radical Matters package, ready

to be print, cut and assemblated. Burn a cd-r with this tracks and make yourself the package.
