SIMETRICANARQUIA
DIFICIL EQUILIBRIO
2003 , SPAIN - EURO 13.50
Label: MUSEA
ALBUM REVIEW
Dificil Equilibrio is an excellent trio (Guitar, bass and drums-percussions) from Spain that plays a powerful instrumental Progressive rock influenced by KING CRIMSON, VAN DER GRAAF GENERATOR, Peter HAMMILL and even MAGMA. The style and developments of "Trayecto" (2000) are beautifully structured thanks to the help of a dark energy. Here, one can hear excellent musicians, like for example the guitarist who was a student of Robert FRIPP during the GUITAR CRAFT seminars. The fourth album "Simetricanarquia" (2003) reveals an evolution in DIFICIL EQUILIBRIO’s musical approach. KING CRIMSON's influences are still present, but these eleven mostly instrumental pieces also showcase the trio travelling through other musical worlds, sometimes near GONG (An impressive cover of “Dynamite” for example) or Robert WYATT. It also includes some peaceful acoustic moments, and spanish folk influences. With guests on cello, trumpet, saxophone amongst others, DIFICIL EQUILIBRIO takes place in the forefront of the best contemporary bands playing Progressive rock (No less !), as their talent for composition and their virtuosity are exceptional. Don’t miss that band !
