Eight of these songs come from the 2005 CD compilation \u003cem\u003eBackup: Expediente Tecno Pop\u003c\/em\u003e, released by \u003cem\u003eAT-AT Records\u003c\/em\u003e. Additionally, it includes two unreleased tracks. This release marks the first time many of these songs have been released on vinyl; it is also the first vinyl compilation of Mexican New Wave and post-punk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the synth pop and dark electronics of Europe and the United States have been extensively documented, much less attention has been paid to similar proposals from the periphery. \u003cem\u003eBack Up\u003c\/em\u003e serves as an essential document of Mexico's burgeoning 1980s DIY scene, exploring a wide range of styles and emotions. Using home recording techniques, the bands included here managed to avoid relying on the expensive studios of the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSongs by \u003cem\u003eAvant Garde\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eVandana\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eSilueta Pálida\u003c\/em\u003e explore a somber but infectious wave that Dark Entries fans will recognize and celebrate. On the other hand, \u003cem\u003eVolti\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eArtefacto\u003c\/em\u003e offer a dancefloor-ready pop sound, with echoes of New York freestyle, Latin percussion, and marked rhythms. However, there are also darker turns, such as the New Beat influences of \u003cem\u003eDécada 2\u003c\/em\u003e and the electronic experiments of \u003cem\u003eSyntoma\u003c\/em\u003e and their alternate project \u003cem\u003eEscuadrón Del Ritmo\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBack Up: Mexican Tecno Pop\u003c\/em\u003e was remastered by George Horn at \u003cem\u003eFantasy Studios\u003c\/em\u003e.
