First of all, the horns employed carrying out "Another Cha-Cha" confer a unique quality on this song, and I like this song quite a lot due to its latinized disco aroma; having said that, I think the last 2 minutes are too repetitious. I came across this song, for the first time, almost a year ago in CD form (from the "Gay Classics") which includes that song in a duration slightly over 11 minutes (the CD's cover claiming it to be a "full lengh version" - obviously the producers of this CD hadn't done their homework good enough) only to run into - much to my surprise - the authentic 14 minutes version just recently!

The songs "Generation" and "Answer" are very good - I'm crazy about how a rather danceable tempo is set off alternating with a slower, calmer tempo. They struck a chord in me immediately (I haven't heard them until lately). "Back to the beginning" is nice and lovely although it doesn't turn me on since ballads aren't my favorites.

I recommend this album to any music afficionado who hasn't heard yet this album or the two songs mentioned in the previous paragraph and would like to enjoy a mildly sweet blend of latin flavor with off-the-mainstream disco. Yeah, if only there were a time tunnel...

I really thought this was going to knock my socks off but there's only one song worth it's weight. The rest was very disappointing. Don't buy the CD....not worth it.

I love the way that Santa Esmeralda compose their music. It is always in suite form but at the same time it is a wonderful musical journey. I never thought it would be released on cd. I was lucky enough to have it on cassette back in the early 80's.
