One Dimensional Man, great noise rock from Italy


One Dimensional Man were born as a brainchild of Pierpaolo Capovilla (voice & bass) & Massimo Sartor (guitar), together with Dario Perissutti (drums). Their eponymous debut album, came out in May '97, has 13 tracks with sound closest to Touch & Go bands especially those produced by Steve Albini, violent, rhythmic and uncompromising. The album was highly praised in press that year and was perhaps the best release by Wide Records up to that date. They promoted the album up to the end of '98 playing100 concerts in Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Chech Repblic and Slovakia. They supported Blonde Redhead, The Cows, Kepone, Fluxus, Uzeda. 1998, Massimo left the group and was replaced by Giulio Favero, young guitar player from independent Padovan scene . With Giulio, One Dimensional Man sort of shifted their sound towards a more bluesy feel.
