THREEPHONIC

This is my first review, I've been a regular visitor of this site, but from now on, a new member. Here we got the third recording of Pablo el Enterrador, the mitic Argentinean prog band. Threephonic consists in 9 songs from the last period of the band, as trio format. The recordings dates are between 2004 to 2006, till the death of Jorge Antún, keyboardist and band composer. The first track , Marcha del regreso, is the only song that have a different style from the rest of the album, is in a strong ELP format. Always been a success at live shows, in the old times, but never recorded till now. The rest of the album have the early 80's Genesis style, with strong keyboards presence, plus some rhythm machines and real drums played by Marcelo Sali, and guitars solos and accurate vocals by José Maria Blanc. Best tracks: Marcha del regreso; Pasión, with fantastic lyrics and an epic finale; Caída Libre, instrumental, a dynamic and very well played tune, remind me Do the neurotic, a Genesis B side from mid 80's; and Encontraré un Lugar, a beautifull song, probably the best track, with strong lyrics and changing tempos, perhaps in a Genesis ? Duke style. As a closing era, this third album is a brillant effort. Here in Rosario, Pablo el enterrador origin, we know how they worked for this to see the light. Congratulation for the musicians, is a great album, 4 stars without doubt. Sorry for my english!
