In 1980, a new actress Jun TOGAWA came across a talented music producer Koji UENO on the stage of Koji's band 8 1/2 - this fateful encounter could let them form a three-piece electronic-avantgarde outfit GUERNICA. They created retrospective atmosphere such as Japanese cabaret music in 1920s, with Jun's mysteriously antique voices of purely Japanese sensitivity and Koji's strong intention of assimilating into Japanese Dadaistic culture for his production.

GUERNICA could shoot up to stardom in Tokyo with their uncategorized musical style, that was much approved by Haruomi HOSONO (ex-Yellow Magic Orchestra). in 1982 From Haruomi's YEN label they released the debut album 'Kaizoh E No Yakudoh', getting appreciated all around Japan.

Through five year hibernation soon after releasing this album (mainly because of Jun's solo project), GUERNICA gave the short-lived shout again and released two albums - 'Shinseiki E No Unga' (1988) and 'Denrisoh Kara No Manazashi' (1989) - and at last they had gone under suspension for an indefinite period.

Roberto Cacciapaglia ‎– The Ann Steel Album (1979, LP, Italy)





Tracklist
A1. Find Your Way (4:00)
A2. Quite Still (4:19)
A3. Sport Et Divertissement (4:49)
A4. Southafternoon (4:06)
B1. My Time (4:08)
B2. Sparkling World (4:39)
B3. Portrait (4:26)
B4. Measurable Joys (4:39)

The LP is a collaboration between the veteran Italian musician and '70s American model Ann Steel, with composition by Cacciapaglia and Steel on vocals throughout. An avant-garde artist with an interest in pop and electronic music, Cacciapaglia made most of his music using only six different notes, until The Ann Steel Album. Today, the LP is considered a precursor of the futuristic synth "sci-fi" pop of the '80s. The vinyl run on London based label Half Machine Records will be the imprint’s second release of 2011 after a two-year hiatus, and the first vinyl pressing of The Ann Steel Album since its initial run more than 30 years ago. Half Machine Records
