2: La Mode - La evolución de las costumbres (1986)

Yes, we stay in Spain to meet our second position. We should be really proud to have had a band like La Mode, because in many other countries they would be recognized as they deserve, however, in Spain, we never appreciate genious even when we have it under our nose. La Mode, formed by El Zurdo after his previous band Paraíso, published only four albums with some of the best songs that emerged from La Movida. It has been really difficult to choose only one, but this is one of my favorite. As we can see, the lyrics are still up to date.

3: Cabaret Voltaire - I Want You (1985)

 Our number three goes to... England! And what better choice than Cabaret Voltaire? The famous English band, formed in 1973, experimented with all kind of obscure and bizarre electronic sounds, specially in the industrial, post-punk, minimal, synthpop and new wave genres. A reference in the eighties, the band led by  Richard H. Kirk and vocalist Stephen Mallinder has influenced innumerable groups, releasing more than 15  studio albums till their dissolution in 1994. The chosen I Want You is a song very representative of their style: possessive sounds, obscure voices, hypnotic rhythm and industrial, almost evil, atmosphere. Very appropriate for an horror film.

4: Luomo ‎- Tessio (2000)

   Our number four comes from Finland, and he is one of the most respected and prolific electronic artist from the Nordic countries. Luomo (also known as Vlasilav Delay, although his real name is Sasu Ripatti) has published tens of albums and singles, playing different styles (ambient, techno, house…) and experimenting with all kind of sounds. The album “Vocalcity” is considered by many specialized critics as one of the most important of the last decade. This song is one of the pieces of that wonderful puzzle. Twelve minutes of pleasure.

5: Miss Kittin & The Hacker ‎- Party In My Head (Mr Pauli Remix) (2009)

 Our trip being almost finished, time we listened to great electro stuff. In 2009 the French duo Miss Kittin & The Hacker (Caroline Hervé and Michel Amato) released a single called Party In My Head, including a remix version from a Dutch producer, Ingmar Pauli (a.k.a. Mr. Pauli), which was a synthetic bomb, mixing spacey italo sounds with the best electro rhythm, an outstanding and original mixture. Definitely, with this kind of songs there is a party in our head!
