Some info on the release:  Rare original issue, released in Spain sometime in the 70's on the great Movieplay label and EMEC (Editorial de Música Española Contemporanea) which was created in 1970 as a collaboration of some spanish composers (Jesús Villa-Rojo, Claudio Prieto, Carlos Cruz de Castro) for publishing spanish contemporary music. 

Ramon Barce was born in Madrid in 1928, he went on to study Philosophy and Letters in Madrid. While he was often classified as a self-taught composer, he also studied at the conservatory in his native city. He is one of the representatives of the generation of 51, and founder of Grupo Nueva Música (1958). In 1977, he was the first president of the Spanish Symphonic Composers Association, and one of the catalysts of experimental action music. He was sub-director of the magazine “Ritmo” between 1982 and 1993.

Juan Hidalgo is a Spanish contemporary composer born in Las Palmas, Canary Islands in 1927. After studying piano and composition in Barcelona and Paris with Nadia Boulanger and Bruno Maderna, in 1957 participates in the XII Internationale Ferienkurse Für Neue Musik festival in Darmstadt with his work "Ukanga", a serial-structural composition for five chamber ensembles. With this piece, Hidalgo becomes the first Spanish composer to take part in the Darmstadt festival. In 1958 Juan Hidalgo met in Darmstadt American composers John Cage and David Tudor who were crucial to his musical and career development. Founder in 1964 of the ZAJ group with Walter Marchetti, Ramón Barce, and later Esther Ferrer and the writer José Luis Castillejo. ZAJ was a brave exponent of Spanish neodadaism with influences of zen and Marcel Duchamp vision of the arts. It is very interesting to pay attention to the similarities in philosophy and aesthetics between ZAJ and the Japanese Gutai and American Fluxus artistic movements. One of his most interesting collaborations with John Cage took place in 1978 when Cage and fellow composer Walter Marchetti prepared a musical ride on a train, full of microphones, monitors and sounds directed by Cage himself. The people on board would hear the train's very noises enriched by an additional mix of local music and sounds, giving an audio-portrait of each stop. Juan Hidalgo is considered as one of the most creative artists of the Spanish avant-garde since the 60’s and he has been active in other artistic fields such as poetry, photography, installation art, postcard art, print media, and performances, participating in numerous international exhibitions and festival..
