Video of the track Llegas Tarde
LOS TOMATES ELECTRICOS were something of a legend in Valencia, a very spontaneous group that only lasted a couple of months with three rare performances. Lead by the Galan brothers, Miguel Angel and Francisco and influenced by Glam, the New York Dolls as well as equal doses of Brian Eno and Kraftwerk. They were one of the pioneering Synthpop bands from which follow-up projects Ultima Emoción, Glamour, Comité Cisne and Fanzine evolved. All four tracks on this 7”EP were recorded in 1981, and use a Korg KR-55 and MS-20 as their basis and will appeal to everyone into Spanish synthpop similar to early Aviador Dro, Fanzine, Ultima Emoción and Metal Y Ca. After the Fanzine 7”, this is the second release on Synth Pop Spain Records, next up is an Ultima Emocion LP!!
7”EPs are new, come in transparent red vinyl and are limited to 320 copies only!
Tracklisting:
A1 Teléfono Rojo
A2 Climax
