Este album, junto con el de "hombre sintetizador" son buenisimos. Los mejores para mi gusto. Las melodias y letras te llevan a un viaje a la luna y mas alla. Asi te sientes cuando escuchas estos discos despues de acostumbrarte a ellos. Al principio tal vez no son muy faciles de escuchar, pero si te pones a escucharlos descubres cosas muy buenas en sus mensajes subliminales. Desgrasiadamente (o afortunadamente) no son tan populares y eso hace que no mucha gente los conosca. Y lo peor de todo es que ya dejaron de existir y solo nos dejaron estos discos para recordarlos (tambien esta el de "antena" que tambien es muy bueno pero diferente a estos). Ahora los integrantes de este grupo siguen con otros proyectos, los cuales esperamos escuchar pronto y que sean igual de buenos que lo que hicieron con zurdok.
Si de verdad quieres escuchar buena musica, compra estos discos.
tambien te recomiendo la pagina de mundozurdok si quieres saber mas de ellos. ahi tambien podras ver videos de ellos.

that summarizes this album which has been playing over and over in my headphones, in my car...wherever i go....any beatlefan will be pleased to hear that the beatles legacy still lives strong in the veins of latin rock...the opening track is worth the price of admission alone..."para siempre" opens up with a feel of "i am the walrus" and harrison's "when we was fab"....the track even features Ringo style drumming throughout...i have yet to tire of this track which ends in an exquisite mellotron played hauntingly to drums that seem to slug it out with an eerie rainy feel...the next track "asi es" carries the beatlesque onward with interesting turns...."de afuera hacia adentro" is a great rolling along sixties style track with vocals bordering with a beach boys feel...the next one will have riffs of thebeatles "because' as well beatlesque harmonies strongly to the fore...then comes an experiemental interludio..."ligero como el viento" is a good track, but not as powerful as the opening tracks...."bien o mal" opens promisingly, but extends it's we;come almost at ten minutes...."por el suelo..." is not memorable, but the album picks up with "Carros al cielo", that has almost a reggae feel to it..."sin explicacion" has dreamy lyrics...."interludio 2" almost reminded me of harrison's "electronic sound" upon it's opening, but has more in comon with mccartney's "liverpool sound collage".."dentro de un mensaje" sounds lennonesque...a fitting end to an album that could have been zurdok's sublimal tribute to the fabs right at the time of harrison's untimely passing...

A really good album from start to finish, defenetly one of my favorite albums of all time, along with Zurdok's previews work "Hombre Sintetizador" Zurdok is defetenly one creative band who, with "Maquillaje", offers Spanish speaking fans something they would expect from a British band.

estos chicos of zurdok are amazing! their cd is great. If you are a fan of spanish rock you have to get this cd. The 12 tracks of perfect sound will leave you with your mouth dropped. You will not skip any track on "Maquillaje."

Zurdok es un grupo excepsional! han dicho que suenan como una mezcla de Beach Boys, Pink Floyd y Radiohead-la musica de estos mexicanos puede ser para una fiesta o tal vez hasta un tributo a los Beatles. Las letras de sus canciones son filosoficas tal vez no muy amigas de la radio. Chetes es muy talentoso es las canciones que escribe. Maquillaje no es nada que haigas escuchado ni en espanol o inlges tiene un tono triste pero al mismo tiempo un poco alegre como si fuera otro lenguaje, pero de todos modos un excepcional album!

Zurdok ha producido un disco classico en "Maquillaje". Las canciones te llevan por un ride completamente extraordinario. I must admit this is an instant rock classic album. This CD must be in any rock aficionado's collection.

It was last year when a friend of mine told me went to a Zurdok show in LA. I bought the album "Hombre Sintetizador" without ever hearing it.
I just loved it. I had the chance to get "Maquillaje" in Mexico City as soon as it hit the stores.
All songs have an spiritual content that's very dificult to get in contemporary rock music. "De afuera hacia adentro" is one of their best lyrics, only competing with "Asi Es". If you like british and experimental rock music you'll like "Zurdok - Maquillaje". If spanish is not your languaje, the music will take you out anyhow.
One of the best albums I've gotten this year, besides RadioHead and SantaSabina.

Zurdok has managed to accomplish one of the strangest goals for Spanish rock since it was created back in the late 70's; when Latin-American artists actually translated American rock hits to Spanish. This band has actually created a sound of their own....one thing rare in this times, 40 years later after a huge contribution to music by the Beatles, the beach boys and other great bands it's hard to find music that intense.
We've heard great artists at different times in history, it's sad to see that art it's now at days limited to those people who speak English and understand it.
Imagine how hard it was for these kids to understand a language different from their own, figure out the music, the intention of the lyrics and then actually understand it and have a great influence by it.
Take it as a challenge........"the music it's great.....but I don't understand what the heck they're saying!".......that was familiar thing when I was a little kid, figuring out the Beatles.
Figure out Zurdok.......you're missing something; maquillaje it's one fine album filled with intelligent music.......
This it's the best pop album.....as it was meant to be, said Chetes once to me, I believe he was right.
Challenge the music itself without the lyrics, the melodies....all the string arrangements, great guitars.....great drums, all together to create a experimental rock band using all the capacity of their brains to play as many instruments as possible without overwhelming the song........hard to find at this days.

Excelent Record! Magnifica banda regia, sin duda ZURDOK a ido evolucionado desde su primer disco "Antena", "Hombre Sintetizador" y claro ahora "Maquilla". Mucho mas madura la banda y aunque con 2 integrantes menos, chetes con su potencial voz hace que ZURDOK no pierda su esencia. Estatico exelente rola al igual que asi es y Por el suelo a correr. ZURDOK la mejor banda no solo en Monterrey, la mejor exportacion de todo Mexico.

I just happen to find their last album Hombre Sintetizador and became a fanatic of this band after hearing it. Maquillaje tops it. In the process of their last two albums they lost their lead vocalist and keyboard player. I can't tell, Chetes has a very distinct voice that carries the melody of the song. I love very melodic music, a song like "Asi Es" just leaving me humming the tune all day. "Dentro de un mensaje" is one of the best arranged songs I have ever heard. The only song I have any complaint about is "Bien o Mal" that has a keyboard solo at the end that goes on about 2 minutes too long. Its a shame audiences in the US will never get to hear such a good record. If you like bands like XTC or singers like Robbie Williams this is right for you. There is so much good rock music coming out of Latin America, Zurdok is one of the best if not the best, O.K Los Aterciopelados and Cafe Tacuba has to be in their too!
UPDATE: Another band that broke up, although Chetes the main songwriter for Zurdok is coming out with another band called Vaquero
