Calva Y Nada’s '¡Palpita, Corazón, Palpita!' makes its vinyl debut in three limited picture-disc editions
German electronic/dark-wave project Calva Y Nada will see its 1994 fourth album “¡Palpita, Corazón, Palpita!” issued on vinyl for the first time on 1 May 2026 via Emmo.biz Records. The Calva Y Nada Palpita Corazon Palpita vinyl editions arrive as a standalone picture LP, a set with the “Finstere Zeit” 12-inch, and a 77-copy collector’s box, all built around new picture-disc artwork and newly pressed vinyl.
“¡Palpita, Corazón, Palpita!” originally appeared on CD in 1994 on Hyperium Records and is Calva Y Nada’s fourth full-length album. The reissue is part of Emmo.biz Records’ dedicated series of Calva Y Nada reissues launched in 2024 with the debut album “El Peste Perverso Lleva Mi Peluca“.
The standard version is a limited picture LP (200 copies). It uses the original ten tracks spread over two sides. A second configuration pairs the picture LP with a black-vinyl 12-inch titled “Finstere Zeit”, limited to 222 copies. On top sits a collector’s box set limited to 77 copies, which adds a black/white splatter version of the “Finstere Zeit” 12-inch plus merchandise (T-shirt, four postcards and four fridge magnets).
“Finstere Zeit” originated as a mid-1990s single and later as a bonus disc in the 2015 CD special edition of “¡Palpita, Corazón, Palpita!”. For the 2026 vinyl reissue, Emmo.biz expands the material into a five-track 12-inch.
The new “Finstere Zeit” 12″ contains:
- “Finstere Zeit”
- “Übel”
- “Algazara (Remix)”
- “Steh Auf! – M2U Sabotage 1”
- “Steh Auf! – M2U Sabotage 2”
The two “Steh Auf!” versions are freshly produced remixes by Marc Werner from 1990s electro/EBM outfit Sabotage Q.C.Q.C.?.
About Calva Y Nada
Calva Y Nada is a German electronic/dark-wave project founded in 1990 by musician and lyricist Constantin Warter (Breñal). Early recordings appeared on ZZO Records before the project moved to the Hamburg-based label Hyperium Records.
The debut album “El Peste Perverso Lleva Mi Peluca” introduced Breñal’s mixture of Spanish-language titles, philosophical themes and cold electronic arrangements. It was followed by “Dias Felizes” in 1991 and “Monologe eines Baumes” in 1993.
In 1994 Calva Y Nada issued both the EP “Die Katze im Sack” and the album “¡Palpita, Corazón, Palpita!”. The later albums “Das Böse macht ein freundliches Gesicht” (1996) and “Schlaf” (1998) closed the original studio run and introduced tracks such as “Finstere Zeit”.
From the mid-2010s onward, Emmo.biz Records started a systematic reissue campaign for Calva Y Nada, issuing expanded CD editions of the classic albums and gradually moving into vinyl. 2015 saw “¡Palpita, Corazón, Palpita!” re-released in three CD formats, including a special edition with the “Finstere Zeit” bonus disc. In 2016 and 2017, “Das Böse macht ein freundliches Gesicht” and “Schlaf” followed as 2CD sets with new artwork and bonus material.
In May 2024 Emmo.biz announced that all Calva Y Nada albums would be reissued as numbered picture LPs, starting with “El Peste Perverso Lleva Mi Peluca” in a 500-copy picture disc and a 77-copy box set. We also reported on a new picture-disc edition of “Dias Felizes“, again accompanied by a 77-piece collector’s package, and a double-LP live set “Live @ Club Seilerstrasse Zwickau” documenting the sold-out 19 October 2024 concert. In 2025, the EP “Die Katze im Sack” and the album “Monologe eines Baumes” were both scheduled for vinyl, each in multiple editions.
