An electronic project whithout any regret with the past, drawing new landscapes in the field of electro-wave music, with a delicate vintage touch, looking to the best coldwave school from the Eighties. Catching melodies, pause, dualism. Man, woman. Escape! Calm...
Music developes different kind of sounds and rhythms in which "FANTASIA MECCANICA" is able to fuse mind and heart: a brand new chapter of Italian electronic music. "Fantasia Meccanica" including 2 tracks featuring THE FROZEN AUTUMN on voice (first time sing in Italian!) and synth/electronics!!!
Fantasia Meccanica combines a tasteful pinch of vintage 80’s style electro and new wave. The strengths and quirks of these various genres are harnessed delicately and exhibited freely within each track. While the band embraces the past and future of electro music with their thoughtfully constructed darker sounding new wave debut, they retain their signature sound throughout the album that makes for a unique twist. Although Hidden Place’s electro sound today is more modern and melodic, their brilliantly executed first endeavor, Fantasia Meccanica, is a refreshing return to a sonically colder sound that teeters on then and now.

I hoped so much from the Minuit Machine's second album and now I can say it is more than I could imagine. Probably the best release of this year !!!! ARNAUD DUDEK
On their 10th record, the Glasgow-based group serves up more wonderfully menacing, gothy synthpop, perfect for dungeon dancing. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 19, 2023
