MAR DE ROBLES ~ INDIGENA MYLODON 051 (Barcode: 3426300047021) ~ CHILE ~ Jazz-Rock Fusion Recorded: 2007Released: 2007 2nd album by excellent Chilean Prog / Fusion band Mar De RoblesFind albums by this artist, which joins the ranks of other exceptional Chilean bands like TryoFind albums by this artist and Akinetón RetardFind albums by this artist in establishing Chile as a major source of truly excellent music. The quintet includes Julio TobarFind albums by this artist – saxophone & flute, Cristián LarrondoFind albums by this artist – Chapman stick & bass, Rodrigo MorisFind albums by this artist – guitar, Jesús ParadaFind albums by this artist – drums and Ignacio LarrondoFind albums by this artist – percussion. Following the footsteps set by their stunning eponymous debut album, the band delivers again a set of highly energetic mostly instrumental pieces, brilliantly composed and performed. Extensive improvisations and quirky rhythm changes are the predominant characteristics of the music, which engulfs the listener completely. Some traces of late King CrimsonFind albums by this artist are evident (as seems to be the case with almost all Chilean bands) but these are just stylistic traces – the music is completely original and quite stunning. It seems that these young musicians are determined to take the best from the Prog / Fusion tradition and enhance it further, to the delight of music lovers like myself. Amazing stuff – a must!
