Jose Ledesma Luis Fernandez - Designios

NIRGAL VALLIS once was among the most outstanding bands in Mexican Progressive rock, even though it only released one official album ("Y Murio la Tarde") in 1994, reissued on the Musea label. Apart from some unreleased songs lost somewhere, die-hard fans won't have the chance to discover tons of new stuff. Jose Luis Fernandez Ledesma Q., leader of the band, has since begun a solo career. His career is a rather unusual one, since you can find some very symphonic works (Like the first album, "Motivos Para Perderse", released by Musea in 1996), as well as some very experimental stuff. "Designios" (2003) belongs to the first category. This album is a tribute to NIRGAL VALLIS: The track "Abismos" has been wonderfully revisited, while the long "Los Designios de Geminis" suite has finally been made alive for the first time, off the score it seemed to be laid on forever. Well done ! Just enjoy the refinement and preciosity of this little masterpiece...
