**Killer concrète grooves from 1984, as played by Beppe Loda at Typhoon, and including a remarkable Photek prototype. Edition of 500 mastered and cut at D&M**
Behold, a cultishly coveted slab of freeform new wave dance/tape music from 1984 Madrid, Spain, re-released by Andy Votel, Sean Canty and Doug Shipton's Dead Cert label.
Notable not only for including Beppe Loda's Typhoon favourite, 'La Edad Del Bronce' - which sounds uncannily like a cut from Craig Leon's 'Nommos' - this album also features the beguiling concrète funk of 'Galilea: Centro De Datos', which, by any measure bears a striking, prototypical resemblance to Photek's 'Ni - Ten - Ichi - Ryu' and has become something of an oft-asked about staple in Dead-Cert's polysemous, polymetric DJ sets.
Founded in 1978, Mecánica Popular was the brainchild of Luis Delgado (also a member of Finis Africae) and Eugenio Muñoz, conceived and nurtured during after-hours sessions in Madrid's RCA studios exclusively using tape loops only - no samples involved.
They did however, use an innovative set-up including a Polaroid 600 camera, an Eventide H910 Harmonizer, and the Arp Odyssey, all fed thru a matrix of FX, to make a wonky, clanking sound that could be happily compared with the output of Conrad Schnitzler, Chris Carter, Jon Hassell, or Kerry Leimer during that fertile early '80s era.
For the DJs and post-punk fanatics, this one way is just too good to miss out on. Huge recommendation!
