5.0 out of 5 stars Easy-going and relaxed, yet serious and warm, October 28, 2001

This is the first (full-lenght) cd of this magnificent band. I first heard "Nightly disease", so I already know that cd a bit better. This first cd is just as good as their second one; the songs of the second cd are maybe even more relaxed, warmer and mature than this songs. But also on this cd you hear what Madrugada makes so good and special: atmosphere, a (sometimes) seventies-sphere, excellent melodies and the very warm deep voice of the singer. Sometimes they sound like 16 Horsepower, and sometimes they sound like Nick Cave, the Doors or even like Cohen. The whole cd long you wonder why they sound just as spheric and warm as other Scandinavian acts like Sigur Ros or Bjork. Madrugada creates a wonderful environment, and they do that with nothing more than conventional instruments, a bit piano and a slice of pedal-steel guitar. Just beautiful!

A friend of mine turned me on to Madrugada about six months ago. We are both huge Grant Lee Buffalo fans. He told me this CD was comparable in content. I totally agree. I do not know why these guys are not more popular in the states. I definately advise any Grant Lee Buffalo fans to grab this CD. Mmm Mmm good!!!

An amazing collection of songs, reminiscent of Grant Lee Buffalo(Phillips) and Mazzy Star. Not to be missed if you like either of them. This cd compels one to want to see this band perform live. It just seems like it would be special indeed.
