about

'Mandrake' by Borgia was originally released on HOS Records in 1994, now defunct. The DAT was missing. Therefore no digital copies were available for a long time. Although not part of the Supernova Records catalogue, the sound is not too dissimilar. So we created a red edition to differentiate it from Phase 1 releases (1994-1998) and Phase 2 - (2019 - Present).

Alfredo Violante wrote 'Mandrake' under the alias Borgia. The B side, Belladonna, was written by Alfredo Violante, Guido Gaule and Johnny Morris.

INTERESTING FACTS:
Although the track is known as 'Mandrake', its original title was 'Belladonna' and vice versa. The press implant inverted the labels.

The Roland MC-202 high-note fast sequence of 'Mandrake 'was reused at half-speed for 'La Guitara Del Cielo' by Barcelona 2000.

The minor pad section in the second part of the track is from 'Numera Stellas' by Solaris and 'Capricorn' by Polybeat. "Because", as Alfredo Violante once said, "it always sells the track".
