5 stars First review of this album.

This live record shows a very interesting blend of styles, such as jazz, psychodelic rock, native rythms and lots of experimentation. If I compare this blend with anything, would be something as the sum of MAR DE ROBLES, BUBU, Japanese bands such as NAIKAKU, some ZAPPA and why not some RIO, in the vein of SAMLA MAMMAS MANNA and also has it's moments of RUSH and KING CRIMSON.

It's a pity that the recording quality is not on the level of the musicians and the compositions. However, the work on all the instruments is absolutely fantastic. The rythmic base (bass and drums) is incredible, reminds me a lot of MAGMA's one and the other instruments (guitar, synthesizer and wind instrument) do an excellent job when they kick in. The vocals are Lso great. The voices nay not be the best, but the harmonies that voices make, (kind of Gentle Giant-esque) are incredible.

Every composition is different from the previous one, which make every track a highlight on itself. Personally I like 'Por Qué', due to the great intro and the song's funny/weird lyrics about a man's personal disgraces.

The only reason why I wouldn't give this album the full five stars is the bad recording quality, but considering that by the year this album came out the band would still be 'amateur', the sound they achieve is unbelievable.

Essential for those who like experimental and complex progressive rock.
