Days was formed in 1981 by Luciano Brambilla and David Le Breton. Throughout the
1980s, they self-released many cassettes, as well as the renowned masterpiece
"Grey Skies / Blurred" 7'' single”. Their music has a melodic, emotive, and cold
synth sound. David and Luciano met at a nightclub on the surfers’ beach at St.
Ouens, Jersey, called "Waves" that played alternative music at the peak of disco
and MOR music. They played many live gigs in Jersey starting with their own
instrumental intro music “Fragments Of Glass (Hide My Eyes)” which had Russian
radio broadcasts incorporated and their own light show and Chris Petra, the
sound engineer, became the bass player contributing bass to later songs such as
"Scattering Seeds", "Feed The Flame" e.t.c. They recorded and released various
cassettes namely "Splintered Colours" ('81), "Alternative Strategies" ('82),
"Valued Collection" ('83), "The Sincerity Machine" ('84) and "Moods" ('85) and
the 7” single "Grey Skies”/ “Blurred”. Unfortunately potential follow up songs
such as "Tonight", "Feed The Flame" and "Turning Blue" were never released as
singles. However, in the recent years, much has been re-released and is
available on various digital platforms, vinyl and
cassette-tapes.
