Classic LP of new national anthems compiled by media artist and music critic Vittore Baroni in 1983. Features patriotic songs by bands from around the world (but mostly Italy): Naif Orchestra, Merzbow, Van Kaye & Ignit, 001... Cancer, P16.D4, No Night Sweats, Renaldo & the Loaf, DDAA, Olho Seco, Prhemm and Spirocheta Pergoli. It's a fun record in its own right, but it's also one of those perfect snapshots of the intersections between Utopian mail art, post-punk and underground noise that flourished in the early 1980's.
