Otro disco que solamente conseguirán aquí, algo que me habían pedido (otra cosa más) hace tiempo, si no lo tienen, el mago sandinista lo trae para vos. Todo tuyo.

Otra constribución de Igor a este blog, que ya van varias...

The debut album "Donde Renacen Las Horas" by Chilean progrock band ANGULART sounds rather original although I can trace elements from the early Italian progressive rock movement (BANCO, LE ORME, IL BALLETTO DI BRONZO) and the Brasilian bands from the Eighties and Nineties (like LOCH NESS). The CD opens with average progmetal (thunderous rhythm-section and biting guitar) but after a few minutes it starts to become very interesting: many captivating changes of accelaration, surprising breaks and great solos on guitar and keyboards. The band contains good musicians but I'm blown away by the alternating and spectacular sound of senor Poblete on his synthesizers (dazzling runs), piano (swirling play), strings (orchestral), organ (heavy floods) and even accordeon. He gives every song a special flavor, topped by the strong and biting guitarwork. The 10 compositions alternates from heavy, up-tempo and jazzy to bluesy, bombastic and dreamy. ANGULART keeps your attention for the full hour, especially in the highlight Judas, an exciting track, divided into three parts. If you are up to a compelling, varied musical trip and typical Latin-American vocals (an emotional undertone), this sensational debut-CD will please you.

AngulArt's debut is strong in every possible respect, and the album as such is just superb. Free of any pomposity and affectation, the band's music keeps many secrets in its depth, and you have to have several listens to get the key to open them. As a result however, you will be generously gifted with lots of those amazing moments of truth that all we love our music for. This is one of the very best albums I've heard this year, and I believe most of you, Prog Fellows, will perceive it the same or a similar way.

Que lo disfruten...
