East Of Eden, excelente banda inglesa que inicia su extensa carrera (ultimo disco hasta el momento en el 2005), con este grandioso disco en el que se combina magistralmente los sonidos de guitarra (cruda o melodica segun sea el caso) con toques de violin y una voz aguardientosa pero no estridente y toquesitos sutiles de psicodelia tipica de la epoca; lo mas sobresaliente sin embargo quizas sea el hecho de usar al saxofon como un elemento omnipresente en su musica que le da un airecillo jazzero muy sutil, adicionalmente agregan elementos orientales (la flauta con istrumentos etnicos le dan ese sonidillo tipico oriental), todo ello formando un exquisito amalgama de muy buena musica. Discos imperdibles los tres primeros que voy a postear, adicionalmente el boxset "Jig-A-Jig" nosdejaran un claro panorama de la magistral musica que hacen estos excelentes musicos ingleses. Imperdibles................
