CARGO

"Sail Inside" is great! From the riff at the beginning of the song I thought I was going to dislike this, but then I found wonders, I'm TOO surprised at how far ahead the sound of the album is! There are bits that sound like they're straight out of the '80s. In the middle of these 10 minutes there is a very interesting guitar solo. This song seems to have the first traces of grunge in it. I'm impressed how such an unknown work could have projected melodies so far ahead of their time.

"Cross Talking" has a classic heavy instrumental but at the same time with little progressive curiosities to close the first side of the album. Not bad, but I don't have much to contribute on this track. The album is clearly a waste of electric virtuosity from the De Hont brothers, who are not looking for a battle but rather to overwhelm the listener's ears with a remarkable zap that gives the feeling of live music.

The second side starts off aggressively with "Finding Out", a song full of guitar plucking that doesn't let up for a second. The base lends itself to euphoric improvisations and catchy riffs (just like Cross Talking). I have to say something I haven't said yet: Drummer Dennis Whitbraad does an impeccable job! You can't stop moving your head up and down at any second. This song grabs you completely and immerses you in a land full of electricity and exaltation. It's a good introduction to the album's highlight: Summerfair.

"Summerfair" closes the album beautifully. 15 and a half minutes will be enough for this album to completely enchant you. Nice choral parts that serve as a detail before the future electric jams that await the listener, guitarists will really love this piece! The psychedelic ending of this song pleases me too much. Certain moments remind me of Desatormentándonos, Pescado Rabioso's album released in September 1972 (great coincidence the closeness of the dates!).

Clearly this album lacks a lot to be considered an essential work of progressive rock, but it still deserves to be listened to once and more!
