Zonda Projeckt - El Llanto Secreto de la Luna (2002)

 

The debut album from this band from Argentina.

The band was a trio with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, ebow guitar, chapman stick, guitar synths, keyboards and effects.

A guest added guitars and effects.

This is a new band to me who has released two albums. Both of them are up for reviews in this blog this spring.

This album is seventy minutes long and the music is a blend of latter days King Crimson and jazz.

There is a lot of eclectic prog in their music and the King Crimson influences shines through in their guitars and the rest of their sound.

There is also a lot of jazz, not to mention fusion, on this album too. In particular on the pieces of music which is driven by long guitar solos.

The sound is good with the exception of the three bonus live tracks which is not up the standard set by the rest of the album.

This album would be of special interest to all King Crimson fans. The music is pretty good and this is an album well worth checking out.
