N.O.I.A – Influences

 
Music

N.O.I.A. are among the handful of pioneers to first grasp the power of syntheised music. along with contemporaries such as Depeche Mode and Giorgio Moroder, the Italian band sprung into existence in 1978, producing a string of mini synth masterpieces until they called it a day a decade later. Now, Alessandro Piatto, brother of core N.O.I.A. Davide Piatto has begun digging through the bands considerable archive to remaster and reissue early and lost tracks from the band, shining some light on an often under appreciated corner of electronic history. The first release  'Rule to Survive' is set to hit shops at the start of September, with remixes coming from Prins Thomas and Kirk Degiorgio, til then we got the band to run through some of the key tracks that inspired the N.O.I.A. sound…

LISTEN
Kraftwerk - Antenna

For the first time the world realizes that “electronic song” is possible. We have always considered Kraftwerk as if they were our grandparents.

  • Kraftwerk - Antenna

    For the first time the world realizes that “electronic song” is possible. We have always considered Kraftwerk as if they were our grandparents.

  • Can "Spoon"

    Another very important kraut influence. Wonder rhythm. It is difficult to find a group born in our times not saying the same thing.

  • Devo Sloppy (I Saw My Baby Gettin') & Shrivel Up

    Listening to this song hit me like Paul on the road to Damascus. After that, nothing was the same.

  • Here Come The Warm Jets

    All the early years of Brian Eno were important to the history of music and also for ours. This piece is a good example.

  • Ramones-Blitzkrieg Bop

    The perfect song.

  • Throbbing Gristle - Persuasion

    They was so raw, outrageous and new. It was love at first sight.

  • The Normal - T.V.O.D. / Warm Leatherette (Full 7-Inch Ep) [1978]

    Still remember the day we bought the 7” at London’Rough Trade. Daniel Miller stuff was so amazing to us.

  • Gary Numan - Are 'Friends' Electric?

    Listen to Gary Numan in the 1979 was a pleasure. He was a truly pioneer in the genre of electronic pop.

  • A Clockwork Orange - Intro [Hd]

    We have been heavily influenced by Kubrick movies. One of the first songs we composed was exactly“Korova Milk Bar”.

  • "Forbidden Planet" Trailer

    We used to love a lot 60’s and 70’s Sci Fi Movies and novels, you can easily find this background in our lyrics.
