Various Artists

Five Spanish Pioneers of Electronic & Experimental Music 1953 - 1969 shines a light on radical, forward-thinking Spanish artists whose work remains somewhat under the radar. The collection has been expertly researched, compiled and curated by writer and radio host Miguel Álvarez-Fernández and features visionary, fearless sonic explorations from Jose Val del Omar, Eduardo Polonio, Josep Maria Mestres Quadreny, Juan Hidalgo, and Cristóbal Halffter. An excellent primer to prompt further investigation into the activity happening in a part of the world where the contributions to the history of electric music are often overlooked.
