4 stars IMHO the best Argentinian Progressive Ensemble!

They sound awesome, the instrumental pieces stand out as the best; but i do not have any problem with the singer, he is not groundbreaking, but he actually sings pretty well.

"Todo Tiempo Posible" is a rocker, great drum playing...

The other gem is "Abismo Terrenal" both of them 5 star tracks...

"Determinados Espejos" could also achieve the status of masterpiece...

The rest of the album is really good, excellent indeed.

One must consider they are from the seventies; and not everybody in South America could compete with this stuff in those years. Aside from this point i am trying to make, i put Crucis in a pedestal which is surpassed by lots of other bands from foreign countries; but if we consider the fact i mentioned... we can understand the importance of this band for every other argentinian prog group... they rock! and that is what matters at last...

Kronologia is a record worthy of lots of listenings... paradigmatical indeed, and more sofisticated than "La Maquina de Hacer Pájaros", "Pescado Rabioso" or "Invisible" which are also great bands...

The interplay beetween this guys is close to bombastic in some parts... is not as flawless as a Focus or Genesis record, but who cares, it is full of emotional guitar soloing by Pino Marrone (probably the best guitar player in this country). The other instrumentalists show some memorable skills too.

This band is worthy enough of a high rate in my collection...
