Siniestro Total were a Spanish punk band formed in Vigo in 1981. Their debut LP ¿Cuándo se come aquí? is regarded as one of the best Spanish albums from that era. Acto Fundacional is the recording of their first ever gig in December 1981. It comprises original songs and versions that would also become the band's live repertoire in their early years. Four songs played that night never made it into any of Siniestro Total's LPs. A big commercial success accompanied the band for over a decade, until the mid-late '90s, when the popularity of the groups from the so-called "movida madrileña" and other similar scenes from other parts of Spain such as Galicia, where Siniestro Total were formed, faded away. While Julián Hernández would remain as the front man of Siniestro Total, the other members of the original line-up of the band would later take part in other well-known musical projects such as Golpes Bajos, Os Resentidos, and Aerolíneas Federales. Many of their best and most popular songs, reflecting the punk and fun essence of the band, were written in the early days of Siniestro Total. The show on this album took place at Vigo's Cine Salesianos in December 1981, as part of a festival called Nadal Rock, in front of a small but enthusiastic crowd. Four songs played that night never made it into any of the band's LPs: the instrumental intro, "Bomba atómica en Policarpo Sanz" -- a cover of the Jam's "A-Bomb on Wardour St." ? "Isla Tropical," and "¡Un, dos!" -- the Specials' "Little Bitch." But the most outstanding revelation that night was maybe Germán Coppini proving himself to be a talented frontman, sporting a stunning voice and a sarcastic and cruel attitude on stage. Right at the end of the show the band was asked to play the irreverent "Ayatolah!" again and, although not crazy about the idea, agreed to do it as a treat to the small crowd, made up mainly of friends. At that very moment the band realized they had a big tune there. "Ayatolah!" would become one of Siniestro Total's anthems from that night on.

Que no cunda el orden comprises the first demos recorded by this iconic Spanish punk band in January 1982, seven original songs and two versions that would also become the band's live repertoire in their early years. Among these songs is the only studio version of "Emilio Cao" and the previously unreleased "No me gusta bailar." The sound of the original tape has been mixed and mastered for this very special edition. Siniestro Total were a Spanish punk band formed in Vigo in 1981.

Many of their best and most popular songs, reflecting the punk and fun essence of the band, were written and recorded in the early days of Siniestro Total. This album comprises their very first recording sessions, unearthed here for the first time, when the early demo versions of some of those songs were captured. The band's lack of studio experience was balanced with tons of fun and laughter. This demo was sent to a radio DJ and all the songs were aired on his show at the most popular music station in Spain, Radio 3. In fact, the demo was awarded demo of the year (Maqueta de Oro del Diario Pop 1982). Four decades later, the sound of the original tape has been mixed and mastered for this very special release that Munster Records are honored to bring to fruition.
