Javier Tirado (drums), Antonio Caminero (vocals and guitars), Chema Fernández (guitars), Antonio J. Cascón (keyboards) and Angel Baillo (bass).

I discovered this band a long time ago on TV. By that time I was delighted by Drama from Yes and I was very surprised about the similarity of the music from this band to that of YES in that record. I tried hard to find this record and I found it after 3 years of search (!!!). The best of it is the composition and the sound of the guitars, close to that of Howe by that time. The worst is the sound of drums, a programmed one, by a lack of resources I think. Very poetic texts, some of them based on texts by the poet Vicente Aleixandre. I'm afraid that it is actually a demo with an excelent sound. The drumming sound is awful, but it's an interesting work, anyway. The record "NORTE" gets its hooks in you from the first time you hear it. It was produced by Raúl Ferreras and LA FUGA, and it was recorded and released in the studio Caskabel in LEÓN. Traks: Intolerancia, Las lanzas, Mirando hacia el norte, El descanso del Fuego, Hilos tan finos (y tan fijos), El arte de Caer (hacia ti). (José Antonio Serrano)
