4 stars Review #81

AUSTIN TV's third album "Caballeros del albedrío" was released as a double album (honestly the sixteen tracks of the album would have fit without any problem in just one CD but probably the essence of the album would have been lost) and it was the last record of this mythical Mexican band that split up leaving a considerably big cult of followers with broken hearts and the hope of AUSTIN TV comes again any day with a brand new album.

The bass and drums are the instruments that give flavor to the album. Along with the interesting synthesizers and the most random samplers of old movies, "Caballeros del albedrío" is a very mystic journey through the most intense songs you can imagine and the radiant delicacy of the soft melodies in HAN.

This album was produced by Emmanuel DEL REAL, a former member of CAFÉ TACUBA: one of the most important Mexican Rock bands from the 90's who has been supporting several Mexican bands to achieve high popularity in the Mexican rock scene.

The first CD is called SÉEB with a length of no more than 25 minutes the eight tracks it contains are really powerful: I would recommend it if you like bands such as RUSSIAN CIRCLES, LITE, ABOUT TESS, or DON CABALLERO.

The second CD is called HÁN, it lasts around 35 minutes and it also features eight songs. The atmosphere in this one is more relaxed and jazzy with very elegant acoustic pieces: I would recommend this to fans of GODSPEED YOU! BLACK EMPEROR, SWANS, or THE KILIMANJARO DARKJAZZ ENSEMBLE.
