This band started as a trio, led by guitarist/singer Alberto Spinetta who came from the
band Pescado Rabioso, he is one of the most prolific Argentine musicians. This third album
is their most progressive sounding effort, also because of the more frequent use of
keyboards and I love the sound of the bandoneon. The music of Invisible on this album
reminds me of the Seventies Italian Prog, very compelling and featuring strong, often
emotional. To me the vocals of Luis Alberto Spinetta are a bit similar to Jon Anderson but
as the Spanish version! I was delighted about the guitarwork, very powerful with lots of
great soli with elements from Santana and Steve Howe. A CD to discover if you like the
very distinctive sound of the Latin-American prog!As a registered member (register here if not), you can post rating/reviews (& edit later), comments reviews and submit new albums.

4.5 stars.INVISIBLE are from Argentina and they released 3 albums in the seventies before
calling it quits.Luis Spinetta was the leader and an incredible talent.He played lead guitar and
sang on the first two albums,but on this the final record they brought in this virtuoso to play
lead guitar while Luis sang while still adding some guitar.Their first album blew me away and
i gave it 4.5 stars,the second was more laid back and just didn't grab me like the debut so i
gave it 3 stars.I really put off listening to this one assuming it would be like the last one but
how wrong i was.Sure this is laid back for the most part but it's beyond beautiful,just a
gorgeous record that deserves 4.5 stars as well.What a talented band! I was reminded of the
the Italian greats at times with the amazing vocals and incredible instrumental work.
"El Anillo Del Captain Beto" sounds so incredibly good and the Spanish vocals are so
moving.The drums beat lightly while the bass throbs and the guitar gently plays.A gorgeous
track. "Los Libros De La Buena Memoria" opens with sounds that echo as reserved vocals
come in.Some accordion before 3 minutes.A mellow tune. "Alarma Entre Los Angeles" is an
instrumental with drums and guitar leading the way early.This one's more dynamic but then it
settles in tastefully.Some intricate guitar here as it solos throughout beautifully. "Que Ves El
Cielo" is a good track that's laid back with vocals. "Ruido De Magia" is another gorgeous
sounding tune with vocals.Tasteful guitar as the bass throbs.The tempo picks up briefly then it
turns dreamy.So moving 4 minutes in. "Doscientos Anos" is pastoral with the focus on the
vocals.I like the vocal melodies before 3 1/2 minutes. "Nino Condenado" has a good intro, i
like the bass and drums.Vocals before 2 minutes.It kicks in after 2 1/2 minutes.Nice.This is
the most powerful passage on the album and it returns around 5 1/2 minutes in.What a song!
Check out the guitar late. "Las Golondrinas De Plaza De Mayo" has this nice laid back rhythm
with vocals.An uplifting track.
A must in my opinion for fans of beautiful,melodic music.

First of all I would like to say that I don't agree with the fact that Invisible is labeled as Symphonic Prog.The term Jazz
fusion would suite them much better.I think that this is important because this may confuse newcomers to the band
(especially not spanish speakers)
This is the third and

Indubitably, Luis A. Spinetta is a fantastic composer. The music of "El jardín de los
presentes" displays influences of Tango and Jazz, but the result is a refined symphonic
Rock; and that is a common tendency in "Invisible" . Lyrics are surrealistic, maybe
as the Yes´s lyrics, but it tel
