PELICULAS

A little bit better than previous LMDHP record, but in the same vein: melodic prog with jazz and funk elements, and with some beautiful tracks (the complex instrumental "Obertura 777" and the both melodic and relly nice "Marylin..." and "No Te Dejes Desanimar"). If you are listening the album, you can use the remote control button and jump from track 3 to "Ruta Perdedora", another very good theme. Remaining cuts are average, except the particularly ugly song "El Vendedor de las Chicas de Plástico". It makes the rate go down. Neverthless, "Peliculas" is the highest point in the brief La Máquina... history. Talented musicians and potentially a great band, but I believe they stayed halfway. During those years, Charly Garcia, the group leader, declared in an interview: "LMDHP is the Argentinian Yes". Don't believe him.
