Vigorous pop, rapturous melodies and a convincing live performance. These were the main attractions of Flash Strato, a power-pop quartet from Madrid that, despite its obvious virtues, was not able to achieve success in the full eclosion of the Madrid movement.
Its best-known line-up included Enrique Bastante (guitar and vocals), Emilio Huertas (guitar and vocals), Víctor Martín (bass) and Toti Árboles (drums), coming from bands such as Prisma or Plástico.
Flash Strato's good instrumental technique, his vocal mastery and a certain facility to compose accurate pop pills with catchy choruses soon brought the attention of the record companies. However, their first vinyl delayed its release for too long, being issued when the group was already in a state of exhaustion due to changes in the formation.
Thus, in 1982, the Carnaby label (a subsidiary of Columbia) released a first single as a prologue of a future album that never saw the light. The quality of songs like "Cristales Molidos" is not inferior at all to that of other classics, already consecrated, of the Madrid pop of the first 80. However, the presence of Flash Strato is conspicuous by their absence in the various musical compilations dedicated to those years. [SOURCE: GRUPOS NACIONALES NUEVA OLA 80]
