Although this album was
Gustavo Cerati's second solo effort, it was the first one released after
Soda Stereo split. After that, he just worked as a part of
electronic bands like
Plan V and
Ocio. This long-awaited album was his return to
pop, and in fact he combined his devotion to
electronic music with the
pop songs that made him famous. A song like
"Río Babel" demonstrates this mix, and also the midtempo cadence that dominates the album. There are some beautiful and outstanding songs, like
"Bocanada," "Puente," and
"Aquí y Ahora," this last one inspired by the story "El Jardín de los Senderos Que Se Bifurcan" by Argentine writer
Jorge Luis Borges. An orchestra of 48 musicians participates in
"Verbo Carne." Along with the songs, there are some instrumental
electronic pieces, like
"Y Si el Humo Está en Foco" and
"Balsa." ~Iván Adaime, All Music Guide
