For a good number of Spanish musicians, attracting attention from somewhere outside
of Madrid was a mission impossible for several decades. While the Movida Madrile±a,
commonly referred to as the ôMadrid sceneö in English, stirred things up and made
front page news on the basis of new wave music, musicians that were on the fringe or
directly beyond it had few platforms from which to be heard.
Although Javier Segura has been recording music in his studio almost continuously
since the 70's, his relevance and recognition as a musician has been limited to
underground music circles. The fact that he worked outside of the country's spotlight
of power kept his name relatively unknown for years, something which even the arrival
of the internet could not illuminate. Only the appreciation of a few collectors and
disc jockeys kept the light on.
Passat Continu delivers here the first ever compilation by the spanish musician
Javier Segura (born 1955), who worked as an isolated cell from his home studio in San
Crist≤bal de La Laguna, in the Canary Islands. Working for decades from the
underground, Segura build up some brilliant ideas producing dozens of richly textured
songs, stretching borders on ambient, experimental rock, dreamy folk or concrete
music. Using guitars, rhythm boxes, trumpets, synths or simply pedals, Segura managed
his own career and produced while published a handful of albums by himself: El ser y
el tiempo (1976), No mires atrßs (1983), Nostalgia de lo humano (1986), Lamento
bereber (1989), El ßngel caφdo vol I, la lluvia azul (2004), Levßntate (2005) and El
orden y el caos (2006). He also teamed up with Juan Belda on only impro project Arte
Moderno (1981-1982), using the Roland TR-808 rhythm box as a main actor for the first
time in the post-FrancoÆs Spain era.
'El sol desde oriente' uses three of that songs and add six more previously
unreleased productions from 1980 to 1990, probably his most active period of time.
Available on vinyl and digital through Bandcamp. Digital version includes two extra
tracks. Vinyl comes with insert with unseen photos and liner notes by Javier Segura.
