A libregrupo with much potential ...Here we have a completely spaced out album by the Argentinian HONDURAS LIBREGRUPO with reminiscences to 70s psych and krautrock artists. Deliberate or not? I don't know and don't want to speculate. Anyhow - the band had collected some improvised material from recording sessions and produced an essential cut in 2006 - six songs with 47 minutes playing time presented with the working title 'Volumen 1'. This album remembers me at the russian band VESPERO first of all. Interesting stuff in the whole and it grows the more I listen. Tu mujer te da una mariposa as a suspense-packed space rock opener with a droning repetitive bass line gets you in the right mood for the album. The impressing Tarot starts in a heavier vibe with bubbling synths but then fades into a spacey cosmic part meandering along beautifully. Cordillera, Ovnindigena and Cosmos Psicologico are more weird krautrocked pieces in the vein of the 'Kosmische Musik' - showing a special dreamy mood as well as a crazy rollout whereas you are sometimes forced to fear that they are not able to find the way back to the line. But finally the songs are worked out in a somnambulistic way and are making up the highlights for me. The long track Tomando consciencia del baile is another good psych jam with experimentally used synths. And I especially want to appreciate Gabriel Falciola's excellent accentuated drum playing similar to the Vespero album 'Rito'. This recordings are provided for a free download on their website. It looks like the used recording equipment was not always the best and therefore the sound quality is not top-notch continuously and overdriven here and there. Anyway - excellent stuff - this album is worth it if you like way out spacy and ambient sounds.
