BRUMAS

It could be hard to justify a "masterpiece" ranking for this album if you weren't to take in account, along with the music, the unique lyrics as well. The instrumental playing and also the vocal style are not outstanding by themselves, at least if you are expecting an exhibition of virtuosism. But they are absolutely personal in the sophisticated construction of mood and atmosphere, never exaggerating and never falling flat. The exquisite interplay and the sensible singing belong like a perfect match with the melodies and, last but not least, with the hallucinating imagery depicted in the lyrics.

Take for (not the only) example the track 4 "Brumas en la bruma", with a picture-in-words that sets the listener right into a surreal experience of nature, involving a re-invention of the language that I must call nothing short as "impresionist". Add the exquisite orchestral arrangement to that, and you will get the idea that crosses the entire album: perfect union of poetry and sounds.
