Pankow
Never Trust A White Man
'Never Trust A White Man' has been written and recorded by FM (aka Maurizio Fasolo) and Pankow's original singer Alex Spalck in Melbourne/Australia at Rosanna Studio and Daylesford at The Oak House Studio between 2016 and 2020. It was mixed and mastered in Firenze (Italy) at SSS Lola Studio in 2021. Pankow, often written in Cyrillic, is an electronic music act from Italy which formed in Florence in 1979. The band is considered as one of the most influential electronic acts from Italy. The band made its debut in 1982 with a split 7" with Diaframma entitled 'Closed Circuit'/'Wither' with a line-up that featured Mario Massa on bass, Mauro Fasolo on drums, Sergio Pani on sax, Massimo Michelotti and Maurizio Fasolo on synthesizers and Valerio Viti on vocals. In this first phase the band was still far away sonically speaking from the sounds that would characterize it later on and drew its influences from darkwave acts like Joy Division. Throughout this first phase, the line-up changed various times, until it was composed of Maurizio Fasolo (FM), Alex Spalck, Paolo Favati and Alex Gimignani. Nevertheless guest musicians kept on participating and at a certain point in time we also find Audioglobe's Sebastian Koch as one of the guest musicians. The world is very small in industrial land.
