PÁRAMO
Sobre un fugaz páramo de anís herrumbra el ígneo celo, el día conoce su respiro. Siete alces blancos y un cromático bazar arrastran codos y arroz sobre un criptograma en red. Filtro de los dedos, juicio a las Cibeles. El fantasma de lo devastado anuncia su entorno. Tu decencia gris curva el almidón en el lino ocre, en el lino azul. Incurrencia absorta, tersa bruma. Sobra el palpitar de un alfil. El bufón de arena. El demente atril de los zaguanes roba de tu sangre el nácar amoldando el truco de la lente. Cubre el parapeto toda ilusión. El umbral del aprendiz, segmento inapelable, dimite entre tus senos un astil en tu rímel, y humedece el rapto del pezón. Silueta imberbe. Naufraga Ariadna. Sobre el brocal, su ardid. Plexo de piedras. Morfeo ensalza la herrumbre del altar que olvidó el sudor.

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
