All the records of this Mexican interesting band Banda Elastica are very different. This effort's difference from the other albums of BE may be real talking with these ancient times. We can listen quite lot of very old "shamanistic" percussion instruments here mixtured with some electric guitars and basses. Because of soundspectrum of this record there are relationships with the music of another great Mexican "flavourer" of very old percussion instruments and some electronics Jorge Reyes. My faves on this wonderful record seem to be Nepanolli, Espejismo and Tzinacanoztoc because of fantastic addition of electric guitar "carpet" by Guillermo Conzalez. Very worth to listen!
