Espacial Discos present a reissue of Aviador Dro's first, self-released album, Alas Sobre El Mundo,
originally released in 1982. Legendary Spanish synth-pop band Aviador
Dro was formed in Madrid in the late 1970s, influenced by bands like Devo, Kraftwerk, and Cabaret Voltaire
as well as by science fiction and movements like punk, futurism,
anarchism, and Dada. Dressed in matching space-age uniforms, the group
created a particular synth-pop sound, which they defined as "tecno-pop".
Signed to the major Movieplay label, where they released a couple of
45s, in 1982 the band decide to go the DIY way and they launch their own
record label, DRO which became the most important independent label in
Spain during the 1980s. In 1982, Aviador Dro released their
groundbreaking first album, Alas Sobre El Mundo ("Wings Over The
World"), which is now widely considered as synth-pop/minimal wave
classic, full of analogue synths, drum machines, and Vocoder. Alas Sobre El Mundo
includes some of Aviador Dro's most famous songs like "Ondina",
"Selector de Frecuencias", and "La TV es Nutritiva". Remastered edition
comes with original artwork and 12-page LP-sized insert.
