Limited Edition of 500 Copies Only! Double Vinyl incl. 8-Page A4 Booklet Incl. Images, Photos + 2 Exclusive Texts, in Spanish and English, by Francisco Felipe (La Otra Cara de un Jardin) and Andr?s Noarbe. The underground electronic scene in Madrid during the eighties was agglutinated largely around cassette seals such as Toracic Tapes (directed by Miguel A. Ruiz), I.E.P. (founded by musician Luis Mesa), Proceso Uvegraf (by Juan Teruel), and EGK (the sublabel for cassettes of Discos Esplendor Geom?trico). CRONICA T?CNICA is a compilation of themes from this scene recorded between 1981 and 1991, most of which were originally published on cassette, and which focused mainly on Industrial, noise and experimental music. Some of the musicians, such as Uvegraf or Miguel A. Ruiz, are still active. Followers of the Industrial music and the experimental underground of the seventies and eighties (the first discs of TG and Cabaret Voltaire, Esplendor Geom?trico, Maurizio Bianchi, SPK, Asmus Tietchens, etc.) will appreciate and be surprised with this selection for its quality, specially thinking that this music has been kept hidden in the totally unknown since then. The selection was made by Andr?s Noarbe, manager and editor of Esplendor Geom?trico since its' founding in 1980 and director of the pioneer label in publishing electronic music in Spain: Discos E.G. (now Geometrik Records). He lived this movement of cassette labels in Spain in the first row from the beginning, and met most of its protagonists. None knows the scene best, plus he has kept in the scene ever since then. CRONICA T?CNICA is edited by Geometrik Records in collaboration with Munster Rec., and is the second volume of the Spanish Underground Cassette Movement series after the first one: Fungus Cerebri, dedicated entirely to Esplendor Geom?trico and still available. More volumes will soon follow. Stay alert!
