Data-Bank-A K.O. City Studio Recordings 1981-85

Data-Bank-A is most likely the best-known, highly prolific and protagonistic EBM/darkwave/synth project of Andrew Szava-Kovats, who is also known for his '80s/'90s works as and with Dominion, Compound, Parade Of Sinners on labels like New Rose/Lively Art (France), Subway (aka Subtronic) Records (Germany), Tragic Figures (Portugal) and KK Records (Belgium). As many artists back in the early '80s, he founded his own label called K.O. City Records (later re-named True Age Records) where he released his first tapes and records, such as the cassettes 'Spiritus Sanctus' and 'Language Barrier', the vinyl LP's 'Access Denied' and 'The Citadel', as well as the 7" vinyl EP's 'Intervention' and 'Isolation'. All of those recordings from the early stage ('81-'85) of this amazing project can be found on this 3LP-set with bonus 7". Data-Bank-A: continues recording to this day. And Andrew continues the Dominion project, with recordings on True Age Records (USA) and Wave Records (Brazil). He also has a new recording project called Fossil Man, with a release on True Age. Andrew has also produced one of the most important Documentary Movies about the 1980s Underground Music Network: 'Grindstone Redux' - which contains music from many of the electronic musicians who pioneered the independent music scene(s) of the era, including Data-Bank-A and Dominion.
