Various Artists - Síntesis Moderna: An Alternative Vision Of Argentinean Music (1980-1990) [3xLP MPORT] – New LP

Regular price $ 34.00 $ 0.00
Soundway's telescope to forgotten and lesser known musical realms extends to Argentina on a brand new, triple vinyl compilation, Síntesis Moderna: An Alternative Vision Of Argentinian Music 1980-1990.

A digital rewilding of computer and synth powered music, dripping with an impressive variety of influence, from Italo disco, electro-funk, post punk, tango, ambience, jazz-fusion, Afro-folk and techno pop, the record is a cultural document of a musical decade transformed after the lifting of restrictions of English language music post Malvinas War (Falklands), and the end of Argentina's military dictatorship.

Síntesis Moderna: An Alternative Vision Of Argentinian Music 1980-1990 is set for release on Soundway Records this October 21st. Painstakingly crafted by record collectors, DJs and producers Ric Piccolo and Ariel Harari and conceived over 5 years ago, the duo have selected an eccentric selection, some avant garde cult obscurities, long-lost B sides and experimental versions of once-famous tracks from an array of artists, some of whom disappeared as quickly as they appeared whilst others by household names in Argentina. Ric and Ariel also weigh in with two edits, subtle rewirings, geared towards the dance-floor and a compliment to their careful curation.


“They’ve come through really good on this one…”
- Gilles Peterson

“The latest compilation from Soundway Records, captures a kaleidoscopic landscape of Italo disco, proto-techno, and loungy ambient sounds”
- Bandcamp

“Fun survey of quirky punk-funk and weirdo synth-pop from the era of Maradona and Sabatini.”
- UNCUT

“A mix of avant-garde sounds, cult obscurities and proto-styles that predate the emergence of house and disco.”
- DJ Mag

“A wealth of wonderful strangeness.”
- The Wire

“Like mutated versions of what was happening in Europe – Kraftwerk and ZTT records chewed up and spat out with an irresistible Argentinian twist.”
- Electronic Sound Mag
