Release Notes:
In 1984, the MONUMENTS, consisting of Andrea Costa
and Mauro Tavella from Torino, Italy, released
their only official record, a mini LP called "Age"
comprising six incredibly fantastic electropop
tracks.
Unfortunately, the duo didn't make it any further
under the name of MONUMENTS, though even to this
very day they follow their careers as composers,
studio owners and explorers of electronic music.
Anyway, the MONUMENTS were already formed in 1981
and a couple of demos were recorded which never saw
the light of day, but were only given to a few
friends. Their nature is a bit more rough and never
drift towards the more commercial Italo synth pop.
So what you get on this CD is indeed an essential
retrospective compilation album of one of Italy's
pioneering underground electronic music acts. And
while Andrea and Mauro want to close this chapter
with this release, a project entitled MONUMENTS II
is maybe on its way...
And you know, as always, if you like this, you
really need to buy it. Support the small labels and
bands!
