The only album released in 1983 by Klamm, an experimental group formed in Barcelona. The band featured Victor Nubla, who has also worked with Naif and Macromassa and produced excellent solo works, and guitarist Leo Mariño, who contributed to the masterpiece compilation "InfArt '90" and was active in the underground scene. The album contains 11 tracks incorporating experimental elements that defy easy categorization. While all tracks showcase meticulously crafted sounds "Billy's Back" with its distorted drums and scattered percussion that sounds almost like dub, subtle wired wave track "Un Metal Especial"with odd time signatures and whispered female vocals, and the fantastical ambient tune "Fluide" are particularly outstanding. Perhaps because it feels relatively understated, we believe this album deserves more recognition.
バルセロナで結成されたグループKlammによる83年の唯一作。メンバーにNaifやMacromassaでの活動やソロでも秀逸な作品を残しているVictor Nublaや傑作コンピレーション”InfArt '90”への参加や地下シーンで活躍したギタリストLeo Mariñoが在籍していた一筋縄では済まない実験要素を盛り込んだ全11曲を収録。どれも作り込まれたサウンドが聴けますが潰したようなドラム音に様々なパーカッションを散らすダブにも聞こえてくる”Billy's Back”、変拍子のドラムに女性ヴォーカルが囁くように歌う幻影的なワイヤード・ウェーブ”Un Metal Especial”、幻想的なアンビエント・チューン”Fluide”は特に白眉。割と地味に感じるからかもっと評価されるべき作品と思います。
