“Antologia de Música Electrónica Portuguesa explores thirty years of Portuguese electronic music; curator Rafael Toral documents the history of the genre in a country that relatively few people even associate with electronic music. While a lot of the material featured here isn’t cohesive in the traditional “pop” sense, the album is rich with historical context. As a result of forty-eight years of oppressive dictatorship and cultural isolation and censorship, which ended in 1974, Portugal was a late arrival on the electronic music scene — but the country’s achievements in that short time, as you’ll discover, have been varied and distinctive.” — Spendid Magazine
