Album Notes & Community Reviews

A vital artistic achievement during the 'Movida Madrile帽a' cultural renaissance, this dark, complex album heavily challenged the commercial expectations of Spanish rock. 'De un pa铆s en llamas' incorporates tense, funk-inflected basslines, abstract lyrical poetry, and distinctly European post-punk atmospheres. The critically acclaimed record secured their status as the intellectual heavyweights of Spain's 1980s new wave movement.
