Clonicos – Figuras Españolas [LP] (1988, Grabaciones Accidentales)

 

Clónicos is a Spanish experimental jazz-rock group that was active mainly between 1984 and 1994. Markus Breuss, a conservatory musician, formed the group in 1984 with Pelayo Arrizabalaga and soon after, Justo Bagüeste joined, taking as references artists/groups such as Cassiber, Material, Elliott Sharp, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Edgar Varese, Fred Frith, John Zorn and Art Ensemble of Chicago. Breuss was the group's leader and principal composer. During the ten years of the group's life, it incorporated several collaborators. 

 

Clónicos was the first Spanish group to play at the prestigious mœrs festival (Germany). In 1991, together with Finis Africae and the Swiss painter Daniel Garbade, they presented the performance “Cláusulas” to celebrate the 700 years of the Swiss Confederation, in Madrid in 1991. The music of Clónicos coincides in time with the groups of the so-called "Movida Madrileña", with which it has some contact (Víctor Polanski, leader of Polanski y el Ardor), but it is closer to the proposals of European and American avant-garde music (no-wave, free-rock, punk-jazz, etc.), with a combination of traditional percussion instruments, synthesizers and self-made instruments.

Bpeople – Bpeople [12''] (1981, Faulty Products)

The Bpeople were one of these Post-Punk / Art Punk bands that inherited the theatrical atmospheres of the Progressive Rock of the 70's (similar to Magazine and UK Decay) as depicted in the dense and frosty "Can Can't" and "I Am The Sky" (modeled after Magazine's "Definitive Gaze" from 'Real Life'), the epic and grandiose "In The Mind" and "Time" (again modeled after Magazine's "Cut-Out Shapes" from 'Secondhand Daylight'). The most impressive tracks were actually the brief gothic atmospheres of "Betrayal" and "Masquerade". A melancholic and moody art punk masterpiece, very much in the vein of The Sleepers or Toiling Midgets. [SOURCE: RATE YOUR MUSIC]

32 Guájar's Fáragüit – Programarrax [Cass] (1988, EGK)

Mario Ruiz, from Barcelona and with the stage name "Sorollsec", was 32 Guajar's Faragüit. His was a rhythmic, repetitive and dronic rituality, structurally close to that of Esplendor Geométrico and the more forceful SPK, although formally treated with less metallic sonorities and a greater number of melodic accents that distanced him from the tribal savagery of Arturo Lanz's band.
