The second album from this band from Spain.
The band was a seven piece big band with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, violin, keyboards and vocals.
A guest added woodwinds.
Their debut album was a good album, see my review from earlier this month, and proved that Roberto Iniesta had done the right thing by going on his own by setting up this band.
The fifty minutes long follow up, this album, continues more or less in the same direction.
That means Spanish symphonic prog with a lot of chamber rock and Spanish folk rock influences.
The music is pastoral and has a good chamber rock feel. The music is also pretty melodic but it is also pretty eclectic and has a lot of interesting details.
In this anglo-american dominated music world, the music sounds both exotic and authentic. It is indeed both.
Roberto's Spanish vocals are both powerful and good. The band does a very good job too.
The overall quality is good and this is an album well worth checking out.
