Album Notes & Community Reviews

Moving away from his harder rock ventures with Invisible, Luis Alberto Spinetta embraced a sophisticated, acoustic-leaning jazz fusion sound on this introspective release. The recording features prominent use of the Roland string synthesizer, adding a sweeping, ethereal texture to his complex harmonic progressions. It is widely considered one of the most musically accomplished and intimate entries in the Argentine rock pioneer's extensive discography.
