New Wave Outpost Forum

Monuments - Age (1984) has always been one of my favorites.
I've always suspected that Martin Gore was listening to Monuments & Chromagain when he wrote 'Black Celebration'.
Monuments - Age was one of the earliest Darkwave recordings.
Monuments came into being in January 1981 with Mauro Tavella (keyboards, programming) and Andrea Costa (keyboards, voice)
