Pankow

Pankow is an Italian industrial and electronic body music group based in Florence, built around multi-instrumentalist and sample manipulator Maurizio "fm" Fasolo and German singer and poet Alex Spalck. The group is known for harsh, sample-driven dance tracks and for its late 1980s records mixed by Adrian Sherwood and issued in the US by Wax Trax!. Pankow made its first official release, the cassette Throw Out Rite, in 1983. Adrian Sherwood produced the album Freiheit für die Sklaven and the maxi-single Kunst & Wahnsinn, and H.R. Giger made the album artwork.
