While reading Wayside's updates, I noticed that this very rare album from Mexico by Luis Perez (aka Mexico Magico Cosmico) has been reissued. I'm not a fan personally - but I did have it as part of the main CDRWL list, and so you can read my thoughts there. But I know plenty of folks who like this album, and this news will be most certainly welcome. It looks like they also used the wonderful gatefold cover version (there are two LP releases, with different covers).
Here's what Steve says: "In
the early 1980s, there was a small explosion of interesting and very
unique progressive music coming out of Mexico. One of the paths being
explored at that time was music that fused progressive music and ambient
music with the instruments of pre-Hispanic Mexico; the sounds BEFORE
the conquerors came and changed the continent hugely. The bigger names
in the field were Suso Saiz and Jorge Reyes, but one of the first people
to release a record that gained attention outside of Mexico was Luis
Perez, who released this album in 1981.
Never before reissued on CD, this ALREADY SOLD OUT, privately released,
limited edition release is taken from the original stereo lp master
tapes and comes in a really nice, embossed, mini-lp sleeve that
perfectly replicates the original lp cover.
The only problem with all those fine Mexican releases was the generally
poor pressing; doubly a problem with rather quiet music. This CD release
is an incalculable improvement on the original, very rare album.
Recommended!"
