Mannequin is more than proud to announce the
forthcoming release of Heinrich Dressel aka Valerio
Lombardozzi, the italian producer and mind of one of the
best techno-electro labels around, MinimalRome.

After some marvellous releases on Legowelt's Strange Life
and Minimal Rome, Heinrich Dressel is finally celebrating
the use of vintage synthesizers and driven electronic
machines, holding elements of electro and ambient at the
same time, but breaking from the genres too, deeply
inspired by Heinrich Dressel, the pioneering German
archeologist sent to study in the holy city in Monte
Testaccio, who drew what is now a major tool for study of Roman amphorae, the "Table of
Dressel.

Heinrich Dressel is placed in a sort of limbo where John Carpenter meets Drexciya, a
sonorous journey through the darker side of the electro, taking the commands of the Elka
Synthex, one of the most impressive polysynths in the history of music, planned and
manifactured by Mario Maggi in the early 80s, as the commercial brother of the MCS70,
synth that gave birth to a masterpice album like "Automat".

“Sighing Melodies Thru The Graves” musically speaking can be described as a captivating
hybrid of styles, mixing the chilling-menacing mood of the 70s / 80s lo-fi funkadelic horror
soundtracks to outerspace synthesised soundscapes in a pure classy vein. This is
cryptical-kosmische psychedelica with a nice electro retro touch and avant-minimalist
vibes. An important contribution and a propulsive cinematic affair.
