Fractured Frequencies

http://mannequinrecords.bandcamp.com/album/mnq-040-monuments-age-lp

We are pleased to present a crown jewel of the early 80s Italian Minimal Synth scene. 
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 synthesised music, following the natural evolution in electronic music from the early days with monophonic synthesisers to the latest virtual sounds generated with the aid of computers.

The MONUMENTS released in 1984 their only official record on Discordie, a mini LP called "Age" comprising six incredibly fantastic electro-pop tracks, here reissued by Mannequin Records with 2 bonus tracks, "Veiled Lady" and "The Seals", which are out-takes from the same period. All the tracks were recorded on a Tascam 8-tracks, with external synchronisation of the percussions, at the TKS Studio in Torino.

From 1987 onwards, they focused exclusively on music for theatre, radio and independent film, writing scores for the opening sequences of programmes for some of the most important Italian TV companies as well as soundtracks for documentaries.  

Anna Logue Records released "XXVII" CD in 2009, an anthology of their music that contains the best of their early work from the years 1981-84. 

Some critics thought of this mini LP as being the best electropop record ever coming out of Italy.  A masterpiece!

Monuments - Oblivious

LABOR

Cold Union - Desolate

DIE SLOWLY

My heart is broken
My soul burnt out
My limbs grown numb
And I'm pointless

Don't wanna feel a thing
Not deal with anything
No, I don't want your help
'Cause I despise you

Just die slowly
Just die slowly
Just die slowly
Just die

Lie down to waste away
See how long it takes
No will to stand up
No strength to end it

Drown the void in noise
Can't bear the silence
Until I sink into
Dreamless nonexistence

Just die slowly
Just die slowly
Just die slowly
Just die

Die Slowly

FIRE OF A NEW KIND

Here is fire of a new kind
Let us take it to the tree
Spreading through the branches
Sizzling in the leaves

From the embers of a dead flame
Saving all that carries heat
Breathing life into a new blaze
Make it dance and scintillate

Do you feel it?

Fire Of A New Kind

DEVOID / DEPOSED

Down in this hole
Devoid, deposed
So fucked up fucked
Like never before

Struck and raw
Transient light
Fleeting shadow
Void inside

Bled and shed
Worn and torn
Good for nothing
Nothing left...

Burnt out bulb
Flickering tube
Crawling bare
On broken glass

Pick up my limbs
And mend my heart
Got shit to get done
To rise is to shine

Down in this hole
Devoid, deposed
So fucked up fucked
Like never before

Down in this hole
Down in this hole
Devoid, deposed
Devoid, deposed

freakout

Breaking substance
explosive flights
you have medals,
victorious
hot like water...
You've got metals and bones
eternal eyes
these monstrous ladies
these monstrous ladies

It's the saddest day
this day of my life
It's the saddest day
this day of my life
this day of my life

From the place they fall
so far away,
waiting...to remember.
Shatter my heart
millions of men
these monstrous ladies
these monstrous ladies

It's the saddest day
this day of my life
It's the saddest day
this day of my life
this day of my life

From the place they fall
so far away,
waiting...to remember
Shatter my heart,
shatter my heart!
