La Fura Dels Baus - Suz (Flac)

Had this tape laying around for years, so I decided to rip.

In the 80's La Fura dels Baus were an underground theater troupe that did very confrontinal performances, usually involving the public in the performing area. They usually played the musical soundtrack of the performances live. This was the first time they released it in a studio version. It doesn't have the same intensity as the live version, but even so is quite good.

These days, La Fura is one of Spain's biggest theatre companies, they've so high profile that are often invited to create performances for european Capitals of Culture (last one was in Guimarães, Portugal) and even did the opening ceremony of the 1992 olympics.

If you're wondering how this album sounds, it quite electronic (almost industrial) and experimental, it fits the blog like a glove. The musical aspect of La Fura evolved with the performances and it's quite diverse through the years.

This was released in 1986, in LP and MC, supposedly there was also a CD release, but I never saw it. I bought this MC at one of their performances in 1990, and it was the only format avaiable, all the LPs had sold out.

Lineage: MC -> M-Audio Quattro -> Audacity -> TLH -> Flac (Level 8)
