2 stars This is Trili's demo, released in 2008. It contains excepts and pieces that would appear on two separate 2009 studio albums. Fans of Adrian Belew and Robert Fripp's work together in King Crimson may find something to enjoy with this band, but I find them difficult to get into. While not remarkably so, in some ways these demo versions are better than those that appear on the two full albums.

"Gabitronix Pt.1" This version, while shorter, has a fuller sound and a tighter arrangement.

"La Muerte Tambien Llora" Strident and noisy, this is the ten-minute fetus of what would grow into a seventeen-minute monster. The bass guitar playing is incredibly sharp and excellent, while the guitars are biting and, well, not so excellent- awful really, utterly spoiling what could have been brilliant.

"Gomoso Doble Cabeza" This shows a rough sketch at the piece I consider to be the band's most Rush-like (think Vapor Trails). I almost rather the band had kept the demo, since the guitar tone is far superior than the one used on the full album.

"Dirt" The organ of the "official" version is lacking, and the vocals aren't nearly as warm as they would be, mainly because they are more heavily processed. Still, that processing offers its own unique smoothness. I rather enjoy this rough rendition- of course, I'm fond of the song anyway.

"Gabitronix Pt. 2" This earlier version is decidedly hallow sounding- it really does sound like a rehearsal. I wasn't crazy about the finished product, so I can't say I had high expectations of this sloppy pair of guitarists going at it at the same time.
