EL AGUILA

This is a Chilean four piece band and some guest musicians. Their sound on the 23 tracks (running time at about 1 hour) is very varied: pleasant neo-prog in the vein of early Marillion on "Obertura", "La Liebre y la tortuga" and "San Pedrito" Spanish vocals, fiery electric gutiar and a synthesizer solo on "El alguila", twanging electric guitar, flute and a slow synthesizer sound on "Aurora", a powerful rhythm, heavy guitar play and flute on "Moledora", metal-guitar and good work on synthesizers and guitar on "Recuerda" and "Koan del fin", acoustic guitar, soaring keyboards, heavy guitar and flute with hins from Jethro Tull in "La situacion" and a wonderful string sound and slow drums in "Tundra". A good album that sounds sometimes a bit meditative.
