History

Falsini, born in Italy, moved to Virginia in 1969, where he set up a basement studio and experimented with a Moog and four-track taping before returning to Italy to form a band.[3] The group signed with Polydor Records in 1974 to a five-year, six-album contract.[4]

Sensations' Fix music remained out of print for many years, but in 2011, Naso Freddo was reissued by the Spectrum Spools label.[5][6] In 2012, RVNG Records reissued some Sensations' Fix material along with alternate mixes and unreleased tracks on the compilation Music Is Painting in the Air (1974-1977).[7][8]

gollark: Do the colours in this bear any relation to actual difficulty?
gollark: Division should just return `Result`.
gollark: Yes, make osmarkssearchengine™ but palaiologos.
gollark: The Macron compiler was able to optimise a collatz conjecture loop to just return immediately but nobody can make it tell why.
gollark: Implement osmarkslisp-rs.
