ASTRID PRÖLL

It starts off with one of my favourites "Proll 1". The intro is haunting almost eerie followed by a vocal melody that comes and goes (or is it mellotron choirs?) anyway it just adds to the atmosphere. This spacey soundscape starts to change 3 minutes in as bass and drums create a melody. Some intense guitar 5 minutes in before the song changes back to the spacey atmosphere of before.This song really reminds me of DJAM KARET the way they combine the spacey and heavy soundscapes. "Catastrofe" is an uptempo tune with merciless drumming as the guitars plays over the top. "Perro Negro" is a guitar driven song with vocals.The guitar gets rather heavy 2 minutes in. "Disidente" has a KING CRIMSON feel to it as the tempos and moods shift part way through.

"Obigenes Del Movimiento" is another track that reminds me of DJAM KARET because of the spacey and haunting atmosphere. "Resistencia" has a Post-Rock feel to it as it slowly builds to a full sound before 3 minutes. "88MHZ" has such a great rhythm to it as the intensity builds.There is a spacey interlude before a hypnotic melody arrives. Some dissonant sax later before the song settles down to a calm 10 minutes in with some synths.This is the longest track and one of my favourites. "Proll 2" is a heavy, straight forward tune with vocals. "Torso" is an uptempo song with some fantastic drumming.The song slows down as we are treated to some sax melodies. "Laboratorio Grotowsky" is influenced by SOFT MACHINE i'm sure. There are spoken words like "No racism allowed" and other statements like that,while the sax is being played.

I highly recommend this album for the amazing and diverse music that these guys have created. And besides they are the only band that I have in my collection who are from Puerto Rico !
