BICICLETA

Third studio album by 'Serú'. The style is the authentic sound by SG. At this album, the lyrics about politics are more frequent. There are also, some melancholic lyrics.

A los jóvenes de ayer: the beginning couldn't be better. A los jóvenes de ayer is, may be, the most progressive work by Serú. The introduction is a tango-influenced composition with metter changes, complex harmony and skilled musicians. When the song starts, it's a rock ballad, but after that the composition becomes a prog work again. Just listen to this great song... and enjoy it.*****

Cuanto tiempo más llevará: a nice song at the beginning; a strong theme at the major climax part.****

Canción de Alicia en el país: this song is an allegory. Charly García is a clever lyrics writer and he used the Alice's Adventures in Wonderland to speak about Argentina (In my country, there was a military government). The music is awesome, too. It's quite eclectic... rock'n'roll; minor mode, major mode...; vocals...****'

La luna de Marzo: an instrumental piece... a synth's solo over a cyclic base. Nice composition.****

Mientras miro las nuevas olas: long live rock'n'roll! Probably, the less progressive song here. But it's OK. The lyrics are quite melancholic.***

Desarma y sangra: is a perfect song... It's a journey for modes (scales). Here, we can see the classical music influence in Charly. I can't describe some more. Just linten to it.*****

Tema de Nayla: a typical Lebon's song. A classic rock ballad, but with the typical SG's sound. Pay attention to the keys solo: an interesting jazz-rock arrangement.***'

Encuentro con el Diablo (Meeting with the Devil): It's another reference to politics. A military governor had a meeting with some argentinian rockers. Then Garcia wrote this song. The music isn't too nice, but the lyrics make to this song interesting.***

Awesome album by SG. Excellent addition to any prog music collection.
