LA ESQUINA DEL VIENTO

2,5 stars !!! The second album from Spanish prog band MEDINA AZAHARA ""La Esquina del Viento", in my humble opinion is just a little bit better than their first sel-titled abum, I say this only due to the fact of this one shows a more variety in terms of rhythm among their eight tracks. For instance I can cite the beat difference between the first track "El rincón de mi mente" and the second track "Sueños de locura" : the first is more adequately framed in symphonic prog (at least in their overture)... while the second is more close from a hard or heavy prog. But in meantime this album "recalls" some weak points already verified in their first realease, in all tracks the rhythm is repetitive with a very few moments of musical "landscapes" variations, a fact which makes the audition very monotonous.For this considerations my rate is 2 stars !!!
