Cold Phoenix were an Italian dark wave / post-punk group from Bologna formed in 1985, part of the fertile mid-80s underground scene where drum machines, synthesizers and melancholic guitars defined a distinctly European take on post-punk and minimal wave.

Originally recorded in 1985, the material captures the atmospheric and romantic side of Italian dark wave: cold synthesizer lines, hypnotic drum machines and shadowy guitar textures moving between minimal synth pulse and introspective post-punk moods.
