When the album arrived, I wasted no time in tearing the cover, and takes shape. I was not disappointed. En este momento, the music is awesome.
Some CDs grab by the throat in the first song, and at the end of the album, the hook is so deep inside you you can not escape. Others comeof you with slow poison, seeping through your consciousness like a soft alcohol. For me, if En este momento of this kind of listening experience. The first time I listened to the album I knew I liked it but not quite sure why. On the second and third listenings, I was immersed in several layers of appreciation, as I listened attentively to every song. In the fourth round, everything came together and I was hooked. That's when I decided that this was my kind of music!
