Various - Música Sin Fronteras Vol. I download free

GASA, the record label created for and by the wonderful spanish group Esclarecidos, did something unexpected at the mid 90's: sell a very risky compilation, and selling it very well, disguising it as New Age, and popularizing lots of artists unknown in Spain because of it. New Age sounded good as a label of music, like that kind of music that opened your spirit and enhanced your mind - here there was no knowledge of ambient music or such - so, when this was released, lots of spaniards were introduced, in a sudden, to chillout (Frank Fischer), new clasical and minimalistic (Philip Glass, Wim Mertens - who gained nearly absurd reputation then -, Michael Nyman), some ethnic mixes (Luis Delgado, Le Mystere des Voixes Bulgares) and some experimental jazz (Lounge Lizards). Even Anne Clark is featured here! It's like they took a sample from musicians and artists that were only known in certain circles and featured them here to pick up the curiosity of people. There are moments when quality is sold in a very broad scale and with unexpected success, and I love when those things happens. Thanks to that this kind of music grew on many people, and in years to come, opened the gates to styles like electronica. I'm sure Suso Saiz had something to do with the compilation, and I'm sure he must be proud of it. What it's better: it works perfectly as relaxing music, and has a really unknown marvel: "Galapagos" by Never Been There, which somehow is standing the test of time.
