 Opinions and other informations:

    

This impressive band from Madrid won the IMAGINAROCK contest in the late 90's and released one record as a prize. For me that record was one of the best records ever released in Spain. An item almost imposible to find today, due to the lak of promotion by ihe record label. It seemed to be just a deal as a result of the contest and that was all, forgetting any kind of promotion. All the band members are very young but they are experienced as they were much older. Their influences come from people like Crimson or Zappa. In the acknowledgements the first words are for Robert Fripp. The tracks are short but dense in meters and structures, sometimes with a basis of funky but always keeping a crazy and funny tone close to Zappa. Surprising! (José Antonio Serrano)
