Última Emoción

In 1982, shortly after the splitting of Glamour, Jose Luis Macías (keyboardist of the Valencian band) joined Europa -integrated by Julio 'Nexus' Pastor (synthesizers), Alfonso Aguado (voice, guitar and lyrics) and Lino Oviaño (programming and chorus). That trio had already released 100 copies in Valencia of a cassette through DAI (División Avanzada Independiente) and their own distribution, but with the arrival of Macías change their name to Última Emoción to see edited their songs in format of Mini-Lp by the Madrid label MR. The album, titled 'Dos Minutos de Odio', was released in 1983 and featured 6 cuts of pure dark synth-pop, including "Sentir Tu Cuerpo", "Otra Realidad", "Dos Minutos de Odio" or "El Misterio de los Tomates Eléctricos" (song signed by Macias as a clear allusion to a mythical and ill-bred synth-pop band of Valencia with which he had collaborated). That same year, MR publishes two compilation discs with groups of his team (V2 Berlin, Waq, Mermelada, Episodio, Los Modelos, Pistones, Farenheit 451) in which they can not miss Ultima Emoción: "Sentir Tu Cuerpo" in 'I Love MR', and "Las Reglas del Juego" in '4473910'. The musical result is at times close to the complexity (saving the distances) of Ultravox, selling quite well and allowing the band to turn around Spain including the musical temple of the time, the legendary Rock-Ola from Madrid. 

In 1984, they recorded a cassette for DAI, which was distributed mainly by the city of Valencia. The songs were: "Alguien Quiere", "Máquinas Romanticas", "Detrás de tu Sonrisa", "La Última Fiesta", "Hombre Modelo", "Nadie Te Comprenderá", "Nada Cambiará" y "La Espuma de los Dias". That same year they participated in the III Student anda Radio Big Party, in a multitudinous concert in the Palace of the Sports of Madrid where 52 groups of different ages and styles participated. But shortly after, Alfonso Aguado decided to dedicate all his time to a band that had already created shortly before, Los Inhumanos. Also, Julio Pastor decided to leave the project and turned into experimentation, forming years later Megabeat, an innovative musical formation quite distanced to the pop approaches. Meanwhile, José Luis Macías, begins designing Comité Cisne along with Lino Oviaño and Carlos Goñi (formerly of Garage) embarking on a remarkable record career since 1986. The synth-pop proposal of Ultima Emocion seemed more serious and more committed than those of other Valencian groups much more commercial (Betty Troupe, Video) but finally crashed, perhaps, due to the musical dispersion of its components. Aguado's later musical adventures confirm this theory. In 2010 appears the remastering of old recordings of the group (the ones of the demo of the 84) that gather in the album 'Máquinas Románticas', a LP that sees the light through the seal Synth Pop Spain Records and including as a bonus-track a remixed version of "Sentir tu cuerpo".
