QUANTUM PHASE TRANSITION

This is a radical departure from their debut album, which featured a modern beauty created by soothing sound effects and restrained playing that produced a deep resonance, like a sleepy blend of post-rock and jazz-rock. This time, they've enthusiastically incorporated influences from King Crimson, Opeth, Triana, Al Di Meola, and others, producing an eclectic album that ranges from their signature Spanish guitar-driven jazz-rock/fusion to classic pump rock and even extreme metal.

The opening track, "Patibulum," surprises with its intense band sound, raspy vocals, and lyrical progressive metal in the Riverside/Opeth vein, culminating in a Hammond organ-driven symphony. The vibrant rhythm of the clean-toned electric guitar, the Spanish guitar that sounds like the Mediterranean sun, and the liberating piano and synthesizers harmonize in "La Fábrica de Barro," reminiscent of the previous album. The 19-minute song "Evolution," which becomes a progressive/technical metal symphony with a Floyd-esque cinematic feel, is excellent in terms of the album's composition, which will move the listener.

The unique soundscape that connects innovative ideas and arrangements with lines and colors the entire album with the colors of Andalusia, gives an insight into the band's spectacular evolution. One of the albums of the year.
