This album started it all

"This album signaled the begining of a revolution. Although the recording and production are flaky to say the least, it is worth to note that this band was the underground vanguard in Buenos Aires. The original was sold in cassette only, and this is a remastered edition released long after the original, the sound engineers did a magnificient job (I owned the cassette version, and you had to love Sumo to hear that). But despite it all, there is a before-and-after this record. I recommend it. The songs go from the infinite sadness of being a stranger in a strange land (Teléfonos/White trash) to the cynicism of DE BE DE (Disco, baby, Disco). This was one of the many records made in Argentina out of blood and sweat, and after I listened to it 20+ years ago, it is still one of the favorites in my entire collection."
