The eight album from this band from Chile.
Los Jaivas was a quintet on this album with a lineup of various local flutes, guitars, piano, electric piano, electric piano, mini-moog, tambourine, accordion, bass, drums and vocals.
The band has started out as a folk music band but had expanded into progressive rock. Something my reviews of their albums in this blog will tell you.
The band totally goes progressive rock on this album. Sort off...
There are still some lingering folk rock here. And some very welcome folk rock too. Most of this album is dark progressive rock. I have heard that the classical music composer Bartok is a huge inspiration on this album. His music is really dark.
And so is this seventy-seven minutes long album too.
The vocals are still very much folk rock. The mood is dark with a lot of avant-garde in the vein of Present and Univers Zero.
That makes this an interesting album and their most ambitious album so far...... by a huge margin.
There is a lot of very interesting things on this album. A good album which takes a lot out of the listener. This is also an unique album and a landmark in the history of South American progressive rock. Check it out.
