I can hardly believe that there are no reviews of this lasting gem of acoustic progressive folk-rock, so here I am attempting the first (and hoping not to be the last) one.

The main attraction here, as in all Pastoral recordings, is the clear, high-pitched and infinitely ductile voice of Alejandro De Michelle. To him joins Miguel Angel Erausquin as well, the other half of the duo, providing a sensible touch in the harmonies and a nice balance to the vocal equation with his spirited and delicate baritone range, who comes to shine on his own in some few solo parts, and in Mi Soledad Sola (My Lonely Loneliness), accompanied by exquisite classical fingerpicking.

To make the story brief, listen to the exquisite vocal blend in track 3 T�a negra, the soaring melody accumulating momentum and reaching its climax in the chorus renders a perfect depiction of the anxious waiting for the train arrival and the final family reunion. But if you were looking for the song with the most surreal and chilling lyrics, then you better go straight for Hoy, Reci�n Hoy (Today, Just Today).
