about

Mannequin Records escavation into the archives of the Italian minimal synth of the early 80’s continues. This time we are deeply honored to present the 1982-1983 demos tapes of Turin’s Monuments, who released in 1984 their only official mini-LP “Age”, comprising six incredibly fantastic electro-pop tracks, which was already reissued by Mannequin back in 2013.

The Monuments came into being in January 1981 in Turin when Mauro Tavella (keyboards, programming) and Andrea Costa (keyboards, voice) pooled their artistic experiences. From the outset, they produced exclusively synthesized music, following the natural evolution in electronic music from the early days with monophonic synthesizers to the latest virtual sounds generated with the aid of computers.

Most of the tracks have been composed between the summer and autumn of 1982 in their own private recording studio TKS in Turin. Some they were made at the beginning of 1983 but only a song, “Clock's room”, was later arranged and entered fully into the mini-lp “Age”.

Face the fire is a simply incredibly track—it builds up and drags you to the middle of the dance floor in a state of trance. I’ve experienced Boy Harsher live a few times live and they always blow me away. doris dana

These ladies are growing on me like when I start to realize I should have cut the edibles back just a bit, but it’s too late. They just keep growing and growing on me, and suddenly I realize I’ve been listening to them for hours. The music is a vehicle for the vocals, and damn does it work. Lute FP
