The fourth album from this band from Spain.
The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.
I have learnt on the the first two albums I have reviewed by them (I have not reviewed their The Beatles cover album, their debut album) that this band is a bit difficult to label. Hence the very few reviews of their albums on the internet.
Asfalto was a very Spanish band. That does not exlude them from being taken serious outside Spain too.
This album is a double album and eighty minutes long. It was re-released ten years ago on a single CD.
The music is modern rock anno the eigthees. The music is influenced by pub rock, reggae, new wave, new romantics and hard rock. The Yes and other prog rock influences has completely gone on this album.
The Police is a good reference in many respect. So is Dr Feelgood, The Clash and early U2. Both U2 and The Police appeared in the scene after this double album was recorded and released. But you get my drift.
The sound is good and the Spanish vocals is decent enough.
This is a decent enough album but nothing more than that. If this floats your boat.....
