In 1979 Arcieri and Moser released their second album, Hibernation.
In 1980 the band officially changed its name to "Krisma". Their third album, Cathode Mamma, featured Hans Zimmer on synthesizer. The single "Many Kisses" was met with great success in Europe. Around this time Krisma developed the first minisequencer, known as Krismino. Krisma left Polygram for CGD, then part of the CBS group, in 1981.
In 1982 Krisma released Clandestine Anticipation, an experimental album dealing with water in all of its forms (liquid, ice, vapor, fog, snow and rain) supported by a series of videos filmed in tropical locations. The clips were first shown on Carlo Massarini's Mister Fantasy TV program on Rai 1.
Krisma moved to New York City in 1986. They directed three videos for MTV, and soon after they began to work for France 2. In Italy they often appeared on the program "Be Bop a Lula" hosted by Red Ronnie for Italia Uno. The single "Nothing To Do With the Dog" (retitled "Fido" in international markets) and "Iceberg" were released during this time.
In 1988 Non ho denaro was released. It was their last album to be released on vinyl, and today it is one of the hardest-to-find Krisma records.
During the 1990s Krisma's early records were remastered. They continued to do freelance work for the Italian state broadcasting company Rai 3, and they were credited for crafting the special effects on the Marco Ferreri film Nitrato d'Argento (1996). Krisma also designed several video-art installations and worked as consultants for Benetton's Centro Ricerca Comunicazione. On July 22, 1998 the couple launched Krisma TV, which was broadcast through the Skyplex satellite service (and later Eutelstat) to Europe, North Africa and the Middle East.
In June 2000 the band opened their website, www.krismatv.net. Arcieri made a comeback attempt with Re-Birth, a solo project, around the same time. The single "Kara" was released in 2001 in both Italian and English versions. In 2002 Krisma collaborated with the Turin-based band Subsonica on the track Nuova Ossessione.
Aurora B
Krisma Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Go to some shady night settee
Meet a friend he loves me eveningly
So forlorn when he goes away...
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Dimness where we sit together
Ultraviolet music
Filling us nocturnal creatures
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Glossy plastic-cushioned walls
He loves the way I’m called Aurora B.
No he won’t let me leave early
The night is young and so are we...
Oh, oh, oh, oh
My lips so hot I do get thirsty
I’d like to drink some cold red wine
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I feel his fingers on my bare back
Yes my name’s Aurora B.
I know they call him Jimmy Afterglow
Sending scintillas down my spine...
Scintillas, Oh, Oh
Scintillas, Oh, Oh
Scintillas, Oh, Oh...
The lyrics to Krisma's song "Aurora B" describe a nocturnal encounter with a lover, set against the backdrop of a dusky, atmospheric bar. The singer meets with a friend in a shady night-time setting, and when he leaves, she is left feeling forlorn. However, the warmth and richness of their conversation continues to pervade her, as she sits surrounded by ultraviolet music and glossy plastic-cushioned walls. The lover affectionately refers to her as Aurora B, and she feels the scintillas - or sparks - that he sends down her spine.
Overall, the song creates a haunting, dreamlike atmosphere that evokes the mystery and romance of the night-time. The references to "ultraviolet music" and "scintillas" create a sense of other-worldliness, suggesting that the singer's encounter with her lover is somehow magical and transcendental. The use of repetition in the "oh, oh, oh" refrains further heightens this sense of being transported to another realm.

sono cresciuto con i Chrisma da quando ero solo un ragazzo e gli ascolto ancora oggi che sono adulto, perchè musicalmente accontentano tutti i miei umori. Con Maurizio e Cristina c'è stato un bellissimo rapporto di amicizia e pensare che non ci siamo nemmeno conosciuti!
@eughenosvenezia
Sono stati anche per me un faro, con Rettore, Cattaneo e Giuni Russo. Oh oh oh o. oh oh .E non dimentico Moana. The night is young and so are we

Belle le loro atmosfere rarefatte e quel sottile erotismo mai volgare. Loro erano bellissimi.
