La Contra Ola
'La Contra Ola' is a compilation dedicated to the early '80s Spanish synth wave and post punk scene. First to be published outside Spain, this anthology explores the electronic music side of the independent music produced at the time on 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.
