There's only one song up for this upcoming Light in the Attic 2-volume comp of experimental Mexican music from the 70s-90s (to be released Oct 30/Nov 27), but the description makes this one to watch:
"...it was a moment in which musicians were searching for a Mexican musical root by integrating ideas from the contemporary worlds of classical minimalism, ambient music, new age, free improv, and electro-acoustic composition with the incorporation of Pre-Colombian instrumentation...These artists were actively engaged in a form of consciousness raising, whether by questing for the stars through their music or by elevating the artform itself. Just as boldly, these two volumes make the statement that Mexican artists and composers like Luis Perez, Ana Ruiz, Antonio Zepeda, and Jorge Reyes should be spoken in the same breath as Michael Rother, Terry Riley, Hiroshi Yoshimura, and the many other artists who have been rightly feted for their spirit of experimentation."
