Retrovertigo - Ideajala! Esta Triste

Venezuelan band RETROVERTIGO certainly took the title of a Mr. BUNGLE track, when choosing it's name. Published in the year 2005 by the Musea label, the quartet's first album is a real and fascinating surprise. Except one title sung in Spanish, the opus is entirely instrumental, displaying a music at the crossroads between sophisticated rock ala RADIOHEAD and Seventies Progressive rock. One could think of the successful mixture created by the French group MONOCEROS. On the edge of Gothic, this melancholic music provides new sensations through eleven pieces from various lengths. The emphasis is put on slowness and emotion, discrediting virtuosity. To be discovered !
