SE NOS LLEVA EL AIRE

After listening to the masterpiece "Mayéutica" thousands of times, with its structure of a single song divided into movements like a symphony, the return of Robe to the traditional song format in "Se nos lleva el aire" initially felt almost strange to me. But nothing could be further from the truth!

What we find on this album is the most mature, confident version of Robe yet. He seamlessly blends the magic of "Mayéutica" with the spirit of his first two solo records to craft a collection of songs that is nothing short of impeccable, intoxicating, and already filled with anthems for lovers of modern Spanish rock.

Tracks like El Hombre Pájaro, Viajando desde el Interior, Nada que Perder, El Poder del Arte, and Ininteligible rank among the finest ever composed by the Plasencia-born artist. He's accompanied by a band capable of delivering a true sonic orgy, an explosion of textures, musical richness, and technical prowess that is hard to match in today's progressive rock scene.

An absolute phenomenon. A force of nature in the shape of a musician who, at over 60 years old, shows no signs of slowing down. While many artists see their talent fade with age, Robe's only continues to grow, delivering the best albums of his entire career at a time when most musicians are simply coasting on past glories.

Bravo, Robe! I can't wait to hear what you create next. We need more of this magnificent, electrifying drug you compose.

Best Tracks: El Hombre Pájaro (a full crescendoing symphony in itself, reminiscent of the masterpiece Un Suspiro Acompasado), Viajando desde el Interior (an absolutely overwhelming bassline unleashes one of the wildest and most intense songs Robe has written since Para Todos los Públicos), Nada Que Perder (this can already be considered a classic of Spanish rock, perfect in every sense, and incredibly catchy), A la Orilla del Río (a beautiful piece, pure poetry, with flawless musical accompaniment), El Poder del Arte (the centerpiece of the album, and its best track. opening with a Debussy-inspired melody and evolving into a stunning tribute to music itself, moving through jazz, heavy metal, hard rock, funk, pop... and even Apocalypse Now! A jaw-dropping musical achievement, topped off with what might be the best chorus Robe has ever written), and Ininteligible (a full-blown progressive rock bomb, intense, with phenomenal instrumental work)
