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 of Krisma's song Aurora B. describe a nocturnal romantic encounter set in a dimly lit and futuristic location. The singer goes to a "dusky dinver," a term that seems to mix together "dusk" and "diva," perhaps alluding to a place where divas go to be alone and reflect. There, she meets a friend (presumably a lover) with whom she shares a connection that seems to stem from a mutual appreciation for music and a taste for the night. The singer is both excited and fearful of this experience, knowing that it will inevitably lead to the friend leaving and leaving her feeling "forlorn."
The setting for the encounter is described in surreal and futuristic terms, with "glossy plastic-cushioned walls" and "ultraviolet music" that fills the air. The singer, whose name is Aurora B., seems to be something of a muse or an inspiration for her lover, who "loves the way" she is called. Their physical connection is intense and sensuous, with the singer's lips "so hot" and her lover's fingers on her "bare back." Throughout the song, there is a sense of danger or recklessness to this encounter, with the singer desiring to "drink some cold red wine" despite the hedonistic atmosphere and her lover insisting "he won't let me leave early."
Overall, the lyrics of "Aurora B." evoke a dreamlike and surreal atmosphere, with a focus on the intense physical and emotional connection between two nocturnal creatures.

Go to dusky dinver I always
I always go to dark and gloomy places
Go to some shady night settee
I sit on a shady couch at night
Meet a friend he loves me eveningly
I meet a friend who shows me love and affection during the night
So forlorn when he goes away...
I feel sad and lonely when my friend leaves
Dimness where we sit together
The place we sit together is dark and dim
Ultraviolet music
The music we listen to has an ultraviolet quality

The walls around us are made of shiny plastic and are cushioned

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!

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.
