The
Italian band Hiroshima Mon Amour was originally formed in November
of 1994 by Carlo Furii, whose idea was to unite two friends whom had learned
to play a couple of years prior. The band however had very little fortune
and dissolved in autumn 1995. Some time later, Carlo decides to call upon
other friends and so reform the group. In summer 1998 Hiroshima Mon Amour
signs with the record label Ideasuoni with the intention of finally recording
their first album. The group records throughout the winter and in June
1999 release "Anno Zero", comprising of eight of their
best tracks. The album was preceeded by a mini-CD containing five
experimental electronic songs, recorded in February of the same year.
These two records had immediate success. In November 2000, HMA release
their second album entitled "Dedicata". The new album
moves away from the acoustic style of "Anno Zero" and signals
a return to a more liquid and electronic sound as in the groups earlier
years. In November 2004 Hiroshima Mon Amour were ten years old and they
decided to celebrate the event publishing a collection of inedit songs
recorded over their long career: "Cambio 1995/2001" may
be regarded as a musical project in constant evolution, influenced by
the frequent changes of components and by the desire to explore new-wave
in all its aspects.
