This EP is a classic representative of what's known in Spain as Sonido de Valencia. As its name states, it was music produced and played mostly in the Valencia zone (where at the time existed one of the biggest and wildest party scenes the world has ever known) and taking influences from EBM, new beat, synthpop, rave hardcore and all the electronic music being produced then, but adding their own flavor which usually meant epic and fast synth string melodies, altough some of them sound dated and somewhat cheesy now. These EPs, most of them released through Megabeat Records and Invisible Records, are highly sought after and regarded as true classics and collector items by many people in Spain. Listen to the A1 track (Strange) and you'll know why, it's a really beautiful track that's great for opening or ending a set.

I'd rather call the track "Space Woman" a rip-off of Roni Griffith's "Spies". It is exactly the same track, same sounds (even the screams that can be heard throughout the song...), only it lacks the vocal parts the original has. Unfortunately, there seems to be a common trend consisting in ripping off all the old Italo and Hi-NRG records (see Felix the Housecat's "Silver Screen, Shower Scene" blatantly copying The Flirts' "Passion", and many others, beginning with DJ Hell and his mate Filippo Moscatello). I say forget about these copycats and find the originals!!
