Decima Victima

HIGHLIGHTS Décima Víctima were a Spanish band that, during their short-lived career, developed a very personal sound reminiscent of Joy Division, The Cure and other British post-punk bands. Although commercial success evaded them, rarely has any Spanish band achieved such a high degree of quality and coherence in their music and personality. This 3CD set comprises the complete recordings of the band throughout their career, from 1982 to 1984, now reissued for the first time on CD: their LPs ("Décima Víctima", "Un hombre solo" and "En el garaje"), early EPs, "Un lugar en el pasado" 12" and demos. The artwork has been designed by the band members themselves, and the set also includes a 12-page booklet with notes and photos. DESCRIPTION Décima Víctima were a Spanish band that, during their short-lived career between 1981 and 1984, developed a very personal sound reminiscent of Joy Division, The Cure and other British post-punk bands. Although commercial success evaded them, rarely has any Spanish band achieved such a high degree of quality and coherence in their music and personality. Despite only being active for under three years, Décima Víctima left a long-lasting legacy, and their influence would later be heard in Spanish bands such as Family, Los Planetas and Sr Chinarro. The story of Décima Víctima started in 1981, with Carlos Entrena rehearsing with Lars and Per Mertanen, and a drum machine, in the cellar of the Mertanens' house in Madrid. A few months later they made their first studio recording, a demo recorded on a 4-track. And shortly after, with their friends from the band Esclarecidos, they started the independent label Grabaciones Accidentales (GASA) and were able to start releasing their own records. Their first single was released in 1982, featuring Lars on drums. Shortly after, Esclarecidos introduced Jose Brena to them and he joined Décima Víctima as drummer. This 3CD set comprises the complete recordings of the band throughout their career, from 1982 to 1984, now reissued for the first time on CD: their LPs ("Décima Víctima", "Un hombre solo" and "En el garaje"), early EPs, "Un lugar en el pasado" 12" and demos.
