Third and last studio album from Color Humano, one of a trilogy of groups that were formed out of the ashes of Almendra. Like most groups from Argentina during this era, the music is heavily influenced by the blues with the inclusion of Spanish vocals. What you hope for is some invention along with additional heaviness. And that's what Color Humano brings to their final opus. The guitar tone and meter shifts reminds me of Il Rovescio della Medaglia's debut. Were not that far from Tony Iommi's tone at times, though it's more dynamic than that may imply. Other than A2, the songwriting avoids straight blues, which makes for a more interesting listen. There are some go-nowhere moments to endure on a couple of these tracks, as the band seems in no hurry to prove a point. B2 is a cool lengthy space rock jam. As I mentioned on the Claudio Gabis y la Pesada review, I really need to familiarize myself further with these Argentinian hard blues rock albums.Ownership: 2003 Sony / Microfon (CD).
