CLEPSIDRA
La clepsidra en el hostel peregrina a tientas. Suave tacto de un juglar. Dócil cubo de los ciegos. Ludopraxis de la ciénaga vierte alcohol sobre el espiral. Migra el verbo hacia el sur. Las bengalas del ocaso. Precipita su veleidad en el polvo un arlequín. Pernoctar del aguijón. Vacuo trueno, sordo insomnio. La caverna del reloj alimenta su idoneidad. Quien ausculta el cielo ve un mosaico inesperado. Alivia el ciempiés del versátil embajador. Ruedo ufano mecedor de los folios que abren grietas.
RELATO 2
El rostro del bifronte no es un rostro luctuoso sobre la espera, su espera es tan solo un tránsito, la envoltura de los remolinos. Su fase estentórea rompe la educación de las formas, los amiantos de la carne. Brota el humo coráceo de la ironía, enigma para iluminadores. Rostro revertido en pares, arlequín borroso, imagen atravesada en lluvia, en serigrafía. Maquetas de cascabeles para amortiguar sospechas, para mutilar el prosaico reptar de la superstición. Precipicio de los arpegios. Serpiente de tafetanes azulados. Carcajada bifronte. Sal de luna que se lame con espátula.

The lyrics alone are outstanding.
The album doesn't "flow" as good as their latest album Amazingous, but instead offers more experiments and stays even more quirky.
A track like "Teddy Bears" predates what will be A.M.A.Z.I.N.G a few years later.
Really, a must-have for any fan of awesome pop/rock/exerimental stuff. Chris <(")
This outstanding folk rock album, which I found in Manoel Macía's wishlist, sounds so authentically retro, that I wasn't sure if it's in fact a recording from the 70's. But no, this Spanish band really is a contemporary one. The music is basically quiet and meditative, with occasional uptempo outbursts, featuring a vibraphone as one of its lead instruments. Think of Jim McCarthy's "Illusion" with traces of "Jethro Tull" and "Gentle Giant". There's a one-hour live video on YouTube, showing the band performing "Prometeia" with narration in Spanish, as can be heard on the last four bonus tracks of this album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bs2e2uTJHZE Note that drummer Cristian Suárez is wearing a "Magma" T-shirt... :-) Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)
this album is a very good mix between old proggroup Camel & Kate Bush... but has enough own power to not be a copy.
a must have of lovers of real progrock Phrozenlight
Antony Kalugin is so prolific that I wondered for quite some time, where best to enter this massive discography. So, a live album of his three (main?) projects seemed to be a good starting point. Melodic (or symphonic) prog with love for the detail but also a nice edge, here and there. A long - and NYP based - album!
And, of course, slava Ukraini! Carsten Pieper
