PROG REVIEWER
3 stars This is a Chilean four piece band and some guest musicians. Their sound on the 23 tracks (running time at about 1 hour) is very varied: pleasant neo-prog in the vein of early Marillion on "Obertura", "La Liebre y la tortuga" and "San Pedrito" Spanish vocals, fiery electric gutiar and a synthesizer solo on "El alguila", twanging electric guitar, flute and a slow synthesizer sound on "Aurora", a powerful rhythm, heavy guitar play and flute on "Moledora", metal-guitar and good work on synthesizers and guitar on "Recuerda" and "Koan del fin", acoustic guitar, soaring keyboards, heavy guitar and flute with hins from Jethro Tull in "La situacion" and a wonderful string sound and slow drums in "Tundra". A good album that sounds sometimes a bit meditative.

5 stars Exelent music for this times, very honest personality, with virtuosity in the performance and great hearted, sometimes y seem to be listening something real important like a message for the evolution of sentiment. The whole album El Aguila is a trip, the melancolic parts are amusing and the energetic ones also. Nimbus from Chile really surprised me. I been listening prog rock all my life, groups like Yes, Rush, King Crimson, Camel, etc. When y listen to NIMBUS y feel like y am hearing some of this big monsters, y remember some tracks like Don Quintero, Aurora Boreal, San Pedrito, Praderas Estoicas Mandarina like real masterpieces. I am very happy to discover this band.
