The eighth album from this band from Venezuela.
The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, keyboards, mellotron, synths, programming and vocals.
Three guests added percussion, keyboards, flute and vocals on a couple of tracks.
The band returned three years after their good El Fin De La Infancia album. A return to form and their best ever album as I wrote in my review earlier this month.
The music on this sixty-six minutes long album is a blend of eclectic prog and symphonic prog.
The music is mostly symphonic prog though. The first half of the album is very eclectic and has a dense soundscape normally associated with the likes of King Crimson.
The second half of the album has some nice Camel and Genesis influences. This part of the album is very melodic and engaging.
The music is also visiting the classic Latin-American symphonic prog scene on a couple of pieces of music here. That is adding something extra, something extra good, to this album.
The vocals is good and very pleasing too. The sound and music is very classy and elegant throughout.
The result is their best album so far and a good album in it's own right. If symphonic prog with some eclectic influences is your thing....
3.5 points
