I found earlier releases by this pair of former electric guitarists from the Mexico heavy metal scene just a bit too thrashy and relentless. However, the duo’s turbo-charged take on modern Spanish nylon string guitar has really gelled on this release, which is dedicated to their heroes Santana, Pink Floyd, Astor Piazzola, Hendrix and John McLaughlin’s Shakti, to name a few.

The rhythm playing is dynamic and the solos blistering, but the tunes are fully developed and memorable. A welcome contrast to the mellowed-out ‘nouveau flamenco’ of Armik and Otmar Liebert.
