Killer Uruguayan guitar psych! Little more needs to be said than that. South American shredding, punctuated by folksy interludes and stoned maté-blues. Definite similarities to compatriots Psiglo (although not as proggy, more straight-ahead blues-rock) (also: members of Psiglo apparently play on this record) as well as Southern neighbors like Almendra and Aquelarre, and more far-flung shredders like Shinki Chen. Figueroa was also in the group Opus Alfa; the bonus track included here (added onto the CD reissue) is by that band. I would take it off to preserve the original tracklisting, but it's too good of a song. I think I got this originally from Crotchbat. I always remember being surprised this one wasn't more well-known.
