Finis Africae
El Pulso De La Madera (2lp)
Unreleased work from cult band Finis Africae sees the light of the day for the first time. A deep trip of the roots of
organic ambient with the seminal Spanish band. 'Pulso De La Madera' comes as the definitive official reissue of the
first album by the legendary band, along with previously unreleased remastered material, on a double LP with extensive
liner notes and previously unseen pictures of the band. Essential to revisit the work of a band that inspired fourth
world and organic ambient as we know it today; these tunes sound immersive and still contemporary. On their short but
influential career, Finis Africae proposed an informal and decentralized model of creativity that was decades ahead of
current practices linked to technological advances; they explored unknown worlds and imagined landscapes of the "fourth
world" apart from their present; they neither affirmed nor denied any of the labels they were to assign to them ("New
Age", "ethnic music", "world music", etc.); they recreated, used, and nourished foreign cultures without fear.
And most importantly - they shaped a sound "finis". Your own space. Where there were no rules. A dimension in which the
collective was submerged in long sessions of improvisation; where they could be goblins and magical entities; a place
where they could imagine scales and structures unreal; where they could play any instrument in the known world; where
they could tour the Mediterranean, Africa, and the Middle East in a blink of an eye; where they could be themselves
without caring about anything that happened outside.
The unreleased tracks come as a careful selection of a deep-dive over hundred tracks and demos, compiled by Urba and
Glossy Mario. The license comes from Juan Alberto Arteche's family.
