Originally released in 2018, this anthology quickly became a must- have for fans of analog sounds and avant-garde music, capturing a period of raw creativity and cultural upheaval in post-dictatorship Spain. First to be published outside Spain, this anthology explores the electronic music side of the independent music produced in the days in the Iberian Peninsula: Synthetic pop music with industrial sounds including futurist Art Rock, dance-floor productions and low-fi experiments on cassettes. Classics or true hidden treasures, this selection of nineteen songs is symbolic of the musical dawn that Spain experienced during the decade marked by the return of democracy and by the creative freedom initiated by Punk music. This compilation pays tribute to visionary artists like Aviador Dro, Esplendor Geométrico, and Derribos Arias, who redefined the boundaries of punk and electronic music with a DIY aesthetic and unmatched intensity. With industrial rhythms, synthetic experiments, and minimalist melodies, La Contra Ola immerses listeners in the vibrant underground of 1980s Spain—a scene where artistic expression flourished after decades of censorship.
