Story & Background
The album "Eneide di Krypton", in its original 1983 incarnation, was not conceived as a proper record release, but rather as a self-produced and ambitious demo tape. Recorded by Litfiba in a Florentine basement with rudimentary means, this audacious concept album reinterpreted the Virgilian epic in a cyberpunk key, showcasing a new wave and post-punk sound that was avant-garde for Italy at the time. Its initial distribution was extremely limited, often through hand-mastered cassette tapes exchanged within the underground circuit, making it an almost mythological piece for collectors and early fans. This rarity helped forge the cult following around the band, long before mainstream fame.
The DIY essence of the production, from the recordings to the spartan original cover that accompanied it, perfectly reflected Litfiba's independent and experimental spirit. The 1990 reissue, like the copy under examination, played a crucial role in making this hidden gem accessible to a wider audience, allowing for the rediscovery of the visionary roots and the very earliest, raw genius of one of the most influential bands in Italian music. A true sonic manifesto of an era of underground creative fervour.
