Brazilian Wax, Close Up

The "selective memory" of icebergs


"Selective Memory" or "Selective Memory" is the title of the new album by veteran FLOES Venezuelan group, which consists mostly of old compositions that are piled up in the suites that the band contributed to a pair of multi-group concept albums, "Odyssey" and "The 7 Samurai." This album takes us back to these compositions in formats that were originally composed. There is also an issue that dates from the era of "The Agony & the Ecstasy" and a new one composed exclusively for this album: are 11 tracks in total.

The grace of the album is that is publicly available for download surfer - the link is http://www.tempano.com/site/esp/enlaces.php
can also listen to these songs through the blog http://www.myspace.com/tempano, which reports in detail on this new album download.

seems to me a great musical work, much along the lines of "Childhood's End", reflecting the colorful and eclectic style that gives the veteran Venezuelan géneroprogresivo assembly. Also noticed similarities with the solo projects that erupted momentarily iceberg (iX and ODRAREG), this indicates the great rapport between the group's ideology and its individual components proposed. Although the group announced that the album was recorded with techniques of the '70s (and in fact the department is full of gadgets keyboards and vintage Moog synthesizers, Hammond organ and Farfisa, Mellotron, etc..), There is a noticeable vibration modern sound production. FLOES I think, undoubtedly, one of the most notable names among those who still remain in force and productive in the global progressive scene.

As they say the last lines of the album's credits, "Spread the word, the verse, the note, the melody ... The songs are yours."
