On cold autumn evenings of Milan in 1981 met for the first time Nino La Loggia and Giacomo Spazio. Both were regulars of the Bar Concordia, one of the few meeting places for the post punk generation. Nino with Mark Philopat had given birth to the HCN, one of the pioneering punk bands of the peninsula. Giacomo instead was a performance artist, interested in graphics and was looking for a new form of painting that was innovative and provocative. When the two met sparked. The two had the same passion for music: Kraftwerk, Joy Division, DAF and the whole new scene of proto-electronic wave and together they decided to start the musical project called 2+2=5, a tribute to Orwellian dystopia. Shortly after entered the band Cha Cha Hagiwara, already a keyboard player in Jeunesse d'Ivoire, enriching the band's raw sound with sonority which we can now define analog. The slouching combination of coldwave and dream-pop of 2+2=5 may sound derivative and outdated, their music duplicating 'Faith'-era Cure ("Haiku"), The Wake's anemic romanticism ("So 11"), and Sad Lovers & Giants's somber dreaminess ("Rayographie").
