El Angel Exterminador by Carlos Berlanga
About the album El Angel Exterminador
The 1990 El Angel Exterminador is Carlos Berlanga's debut solo album, released immediately after the dissolution of the iconic Alaska y Dinarama.
The album mainly moves along synth-pop and europop paths, maintaining the elegant pop aesthetic that characterized Berlanga. The production was handled by Luis Carlos Esteban, who also took on programming and keyboards, giving the sound a clear, "glossy" '90s feel. Recording and mixing took place at Estudios Tyrel and Estudios Cinearte in Madrid. The tracks that were most promoted and loved are the eponymous El Angel Exterminador (inspired by the film by Luis Buñuel) and En El Volcán.
El Angel Exterminador is an album that bridges the "Movida Madrileña" with the more mature, sophisticated pop of the '90s. Despite its technological reliance on the sounds of the era, the quality of the composition remains timeless. Although it is now considered a classic example of Spanish pop, at the time it went rather unnoticed due to insufficient promotion by the Hispavox company.
