- Plux Quba: Música Para 70 Serpentes (Music for 70 Serpents), frequently shortened to Plux Quba, is the sole studio album by Portuguese experimental musician Nuno Canavarro. Originally released on the private press label Ama Rementa in 1988, it was expanded and reissued in 1998. Plux Quba consists of pieces based around sparse, electronically processed tones and heavily treated spoken word samples. It was released to very little initial reception, and would not see distribution outside of Portugal until it was reissued in 1998 by the record label Moikai. Following the re-release, it gradually gained a following for its innovative sound, and has been considered a precursor to the development of the IDM and glitch music styles. Musicians such as Jim O'Rourke, Mouse on Mars, Prefuse 73, and Oval have cited the album as an influence on their work. (en)
