Interesting stuff. Very breathy vocal, nice Latin rhythms, much of it is very ethereal. Weird effects on "Cálculos y oráculos", sounds like dogs howling, though I guess it's some sort of slidy synth effect, or something on a guitar; flange, maybe? Odd-sounding anyway. I guess it all has a nice Latin flair and feel, but I'm sort of bored with it and not really taking any of it in. Of course, as I review and listen to albums I'm usually also doing something else, but if an album is good enough it will pull me, even only momentarily, from that task and force me to pay it more attention. This one hasn't done that.
