Interferencias, Vol. 2 is the follow-up to the phenomenal first volume of Munster Records' survey of Spain's '80s electro-pop underground. As with Vol. 1, the sequel spans everything from primitive industrial and EBM to deliriously catchy pop tunes which could've easily become mainstream hits with a bit more of a recording and marketing budget. The collection begins with some of its darkest and experimental tracks, such as Diagonal's goth anthem "La Fuga" and more abrasive, scattered pieces by Orfeon Gagarin and Esplendor Geometrico. Some tracks have more of a lo-fi post-punk spirit, such as the demented carnival keyboard swirl of Logotipo's "Teoria del Contacto" or the urgent synth-punk or Flacidos Lunes' "Francotirador," while selections by Claustrofobia and Fanzine are closer to the new romantic side of '80s synth pop. The excellent "Dejame Ahora Dormir" by Q (not the same one that did the vocoder classic "The Voice of Q") could easily fit on a vintage Italo-disco compilation. Demian's "Kopek," filled with chattering voices and intricate synth and violin arrangements, manages to be one of the album's most paranoid moments, as well as one of its most purely joyous. The album's only English-language song, Mania's "Television," would've fit perfectly between Missing Persons and Bananarama videos on MTV when it was released in 1984. Compared to the first volume, there aren't quite as many giddy high points on this one, but it's still a remarkably informative and enjoyable release, and several additional volumes would be welcome. ~ Paul Simpson
