Sensations' Fix

Sensations' Fix was an Italian progressive rock/electronic musical ensemble led by Franco Falsini.

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.[1] The group signed with Polydor Records in 1974 to a five-year, six-album contract.[2]

In 2002, DJ Shadow sampled Sensations' Fix on the tracks "Fixed Income" and "Mongrel...Meets His Maker" from The Private Press, and in 2008 Sonic Youth titled one of their art exhibitions "Sensational Fix".[3]

Sensations' Fix music remained out of print for many years, but in 2011, Naso Fredo was reissued by the Spectrum Spools label.[4][5] 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).[6][7]
