"Overtura777" starts the album in a great note. It is a complex instrumental piece with great melodies and musicianship. "Marylin" is a nice melodic track with a powerful finale with electric guitars, moog synths, and energetic rhythms. " No Te Dejes Desanimar" is more symphonic than the previous track and features a small orchestra. "Que Se Puede Hacer..." is a jazzier track with some excellent instrumental breaks and a great main melody. "Hipercandombre" is a hard rocking piece full of riffing and is played over a very interesting rhythm, phenomenal track!! "El Vendedor" is weaker in quality than the others, yet is enjoyable in its own... it has great bass guitar work. 'Ruta Perdedora' is another highlight : a symphonic jazz-rock piece with great lyrics/melodies, nice musicianship and great arrangements. "En las Calles de Costa Rica" is a powerful instrumental finale.
1. Obertura 777 (7.5/10) 2. Marilyn, La Cenicienta Y Las Mujeres (7.5/10) 3. No Te Dejes Desanimar (6.5/10) 4. Que Se Puede Hacer Salvo Ver Peliculas (7.5/10) 5. Hipercandombe (9/10) 6. El Vendedor De Las Chicas De Plastico (6.5/10) 7. Ruta Perdedora (9/10) 8. En Las Calles De Costa Rica (7/10)

PROG REVIEWER

When comparing it to the first record one first realizes that Peliculas is much calmer and jazzier. The first track is an instrumental called Obertura 777. It satrts with an acoustic intro and then has a subtle funky beat , it sounds like smooth jazz sometimes. The second track Marilyn , la Cenicienta y las Mujeres reminds me of Garcia's following band Serú Girán. It's a sophisticated rock song including synthetizers and a little chorus. No te dejes desanimar is one of the highlight's here: A majestic ballad with very interesting vocal harmonies , delicate piano playing and some violin that reminds me of Gentle Giant like another reviewer stated. Que se puede hacer... starts like a Santana song , and you can tell Charly's growing appreciation in this song and the following Hipercandombe. "El vendedor de las muñecas de plastico" sounds like a progressive tv advertisement. It's hilarious!! Ruta perdedora is another highlight here , it has emotional lyrics and impressive synthetizer sounds. The record finishes with the jazz -fusion like instrumental "En las calles de Costa Rica"
This record shows us the transition between La Maquina de Hacer Pajaros and Seru Giran , and in spite of not having epic-size tracks it's a very well composed album full of interesting ideas.

So, you thought only in Europe and in the States are good prog musicians? you're wrong, here in south America there are good
progressive bands too, and one of them is La Máquina de Hacer Pájaros. Charly Garcia, member of the folk-rock band Sui
Generis, decided to create this band to explore new

"What can be done except for seeing films"
About this band already I spoke in the review of "LMDHP"
"Obertura 777": A good beginning for the work. In this piece the emotions abound as much
as the keyboards. Perhaps a greater presence of the guitar could be expected, but
anyway the result is ve

I don't like this album as much as their first one.
Even though I agree with some other reviewers that this guys achieved to comprenetate
with each other (You can see what I'm talking about in the beautiful RUTA PERDEDORA
and HIPERCANDOMBE) I find the individuals track weaker than the tracks in

This is the second (and last) album of LA MAQUINA DE HACER PAJAROS. After this record
Charly and Oscar (the drummer of the group) leave the group to form SERU GIRAN. This
album sound like: "Obscured by clouds" (PINK FLOYD), "The inner mounting flame"
(MAHAVISHNU ORCHESTRA), "Selling England by

This is even more progressive, there are no vestiges of folk anymore here, and is my
favorite between the two albums of Maquina, the instrumental tracks (Obertura 777 y
Por las calles de Costa Rica) are not too long, but they're very nice, one track that I
really like here is Que se puede hace

Yes, "El vendedor de las chicas de plastico" is a kind of joke, but the rest of the songs are
excellent. "Marylin", "No te dejes desanimar" and "Ruta perdedora" (it has a very cool
counterpoint moment) are the best thems, but "Hipercandombe" and "Que se puede hacer
salvo ver peliculas" are ver

A much improved work. Now with the collaboration of the rest of the band maybe is that is the reason of the superior quality of this record. Almost a jazzy touch in some of the compositions. The group folded after this album.
