4.0 out of 5 stars Very Good, But Slightly Weaker Than Previous, May 18, 2003

Moenia sort of goes back to the mellow pop electronic sound from their debut, and it is a nice album, but there aren't as many great songs as we are used to.
On all past recordings just about every song is super catchy, but on this one, only about 5 are like that. That having been said, the tune "Espirales" is excellent as is "¿En Qué momento?" also "Traicion" is like an electronic oldwest cowboy tune which is pretty cool.
Moenia still has a great sound and they have a magical way of bringing out beautiful sensations from their music, and the lyrics as always are not political or protest, rather they complement the music by being simple and conentrating on the fragil human condition and everyday emotions. Overall I reccomend this album, although it is not quite as strong as the others, also if you are more a fan of their more aggressive material, this might disappoint as it is more "pop".

5.0 out of 5 stars Great synth based music!, November 10, 2003

Moenia is one of the best synthesizer based bands around. I'm not only talking about the spanish language market, but any market. For example, this CD contains "En que Momento (At what point)" which to me is the "best" song of 2003. And I'm talking worldwide here! Sound wise its not fluffy synthesizers.
They use harder sounds and acoustic instrumenation and even guitars, when the moment calls for it. You will like them probably more than OBK or Fangoria or Depeche Mode or Red Flag.

They are above all great songwriters. This CD for example contains "No es Lo Mismo (Its not the same thing)" which apart from a gorgeous vocal melody, contains very interesting lyrics describing what goes on in many contemporary relationships.
In other words their lyrics are in touch with today. The arangements are very clever too.
