A LA ALTURA, or "To The Height" brings recognition to Mexican musicians who, in the last decades of the 20th century, ventured into experimental territories with electronic and indigenous instruments, in dialogue with minimalism, ambient, jazz and new age aesthetics. Over a decade in the making and lovingly curated by Mexican journalist, musician and DJ, Carlos "Tropicaza" Icaza & dublab radio founder and LA Phil Creative Producer Mark "Frosty" McNeill, A LA ALTURA is sourced from original tapes and masters featuring unreleased, long out of print and private-press recordings.
Volumes 1 & 2 feature 25 visionary artists who were actively engaged in a form of consciousness raising, whether by questing for the stars through their music or by elevating the artform itself. Just as boldly, these two volumes make the statement that Mexican artists and composers like Luis Pérez, Arturo Meza, Jorge Reyes, Ana Ruiz, and Antonio Zepeda should be spoken in the same breath as Michael Rother, Terry Riley, Hiroshi Yoshimura, and the many other artists who have been rightly feted for their spirit of experimentation
