Thanks Séra for the English translation!
Don't worry for some grammar mistakes;
I've amended 'em myself and contents have remained exactly the same.

Klimt 1918 was founded in October 1999 by Marco and Paolo Soellner. Later they've been joined by bassist (Davide Pesola) and a guitarist (Alessandro Pace). "Undressed Momento" is their first 'real' album, that's also an upcoming release from abroad. It is a hybrid music with melancholy atmosphere, altergoth, avant-garde and post-modern sounds.
On the surface of cd there's a lace curtain and a porcelain doll I think; this is a very interesting combination, it benefits the style of the album. My favourite track is the second, "Pale Song". This is a very powerful song! "We don't need no music" begins with a French speech by a woman; then it continues in Italian language, later changes to English. It's a very international solution!
I like this album and I'm waiting for the next LP of the band! The only problem is that their music reminded me of Katatonia! If you like Katatonia, The Beatles, Depeche Mode, The Cure, the old U2 or Novembre, buy this!
