OUT IN THE SUN

Hearing this album after the ambitious and at times intensive "The story of I" is not recommended because I think it will undergo the expectations. The warm cover suggest further digging in Latin music and it is largely true. This time, not really explorations but rather in a more convention Latin setting (as a rhythm or synth solo). The album makes a pedestrian impact on me although there are captivating moments: "Rana Bacutada" goes in the Latin fusion directory with tasty soloing on ARP and some solemn chord by organ. Most expectations lie within the last track, which partly succeeds. Moraz creates great captivating world of sequencers before immersing in a melodic piano suite and disappointingly incorporating mediocre sung part. The pop/rock tracks are pretty forgettable even though soaked with sunny beach. The stupid titled "Love-hate-sun- rain-you" is one of the most embarrassing rock-like moments by a prog musicians I've ever heard. Terribly affected vocal, the "die-try-hard" guitar and mildly unsuitable choice of synth soloing make it a torture to listen to. Overall, this album is only recommended if you're into pop-oriented Latin prog and can forgive a number of awkward moments.
