LA ETERNIDAD DE LO EFÍMERO

Praxis is less known prog band from the '80's, maybe not because they were from Mexico but due to the fact thet they begun their career in the mid '80's, when, as everybody knows prog music was almost dead. So from the beggining this album was neither a comercial virtue or a popular advertising for press or world wide listners. The music Praxis play is eclectic prog meets symphonic prog. One of the members from here Ricardo Moreno ,is from Iconoclasta ( a jazz group from Mexico from mid '80's) and is clear that the music from La eternidat de lo efimero is influenced by them. Practiceing an up tempo kind of symphonic prog with a lot of great interplays betwen guitar and keys, with real strong moments like No se quién soy desde que se quién eres - I think the best piece from here, the rest are ok. The album is a good one and desearve from me 3 stars, maybe not somthing realy special, but not bad at all. If the album were more diverse in ideas, many time they repet themself in many passages, specialy the drum moments. Anyway a pleasent album most of the time, if you don't know this unknown band , you missed nothing, but if you want to try some Mexico prog music from the' 80's I suggest this one, worth couple of spins and is one of the few bands that Mexico has and have from prog music. Original release in 1987 at Discos Rosembach the album got the reissue in 1994 at mellow records, so if you are more towards eclectic with symphonic passages don't hesitate to have it.
