VIGESIMUS

"Cast" is my favorite Latin American band. I saw them live maybe 20 years ago, at "Valparaiso University" (long down south, not Indiana but South America). I was teaching a course and they were on tour, 5.000 miles away from home. I was impressed by their performance very much "Yes stile" (barefoot singer dressed in white, and all that stuff). I had never thought of them as a "Yes" like band and I don't think it now. The first Cast album I bought was "Imaginary Window" (1999) and I'm sure the sound of the band, already impressive then, has improved a lot. I'm not going to review every song, because it would be and endless job. They masterfully work the epics and here are 6 of them!! The other songs are also great. Of course, not all the songs are equally good, but they are all of a high standard. "Vigesimus" is their twentieth album) and a must have.
