Really interesting band since their studio debut, with Saturnal October Equus from Madrid, reinforced by Vasco Trilla (drums) and Alfonso Munoz (saxes) from Planeta Imaginario, establish themselves as the point of reference for the iberic avant-prog scene. Edgy, hypnotic, fascinating, often with a leaden atmosphere, sometimes even gloomy, the album explores intricate harmonic solutions, in an endless counterpoint between Angél Ontalva’s guitar (author of the remarkable cd artwork too), saxophone and keyboards. The result is greatly solid, with unexpected melodic passages, in the middle between Starless and Bible Black by King Crimson and Henry Cow structural density. The thirteen tracks of Saturnal show a dizzy chasing of ideas, carried out with conviction and care of details. Just not to be missed.
