Strings of Love - Fabio Monesi (Craigie Knowes)


Title: Strings of Love 
Artist:  Fabio Monesi 
Label: Craigie Knowes
Cat Number: CKNOWEP18
Genre: Techno

A1: Strings of Love
A2: Pancho Returns
B1: Flanger City
B2: The Raw Theory

Founder of Wilson Records Fabio Monesi debuts on Craigie Knowes with a four tracker, which sees him spread himself thinly like a polyvalent sonic veneer. There are shades of ‘Sweet Dreams’ in the title track’s riff, and with ‘Pancho Returns’ the vibe is definitely a retro one, shifting between arpeggiated italo fanfare and wistful melancholia. ‘Flanger City’ is a radical departure in style and intensity, relying on breaks and an undulating techno hoover to cause maximum damage, while ‘The Raw Theory’ is a Detroit-inflected jaunt into the fluctuating aural undergrowth.
