Almendra are considered one of the founding fathers of the Argentinian rock scene. This was their second and final record from late 1970 and is a fun and well done rock/hard rock album of the period, which is definitely a bit more sophisticated than their debut but still having lots of that period charm, with some nice progressive touches and many wah-wah guitars! "The band's second album, recorded in 1970, is a bit more more musically advanced but more or less sticks to the script. The killer is the 14 minute "Agnus Dei" which is a lysergic masterpiece of guitar driven insanity as Spinetta channels Hendrix - worth the price of the disc alone. This 2 CD set has been reissued by Sony/RCA in a mini-lp sleeve format."-Ken Golden
