 Opinions and other informations:

    

Laietan rock with a lot of catalan folk. Plentiful of flute that reminds of Jethro Tull (I can't help it). Nice vocalist. (Juan Mellado)


Progressive folk-rock, with evident remainders of Jethro Tull due to the flute, and plenty of good fuzz guitar. The lyrics could be considered as controversial, with a strong taste of protest-folk, looking for historical roots. A great record, for me. Very advisable. (Antoni, Guerssen Records)


Folk-rock progresivo, con evidentes reminiscencias de Jethro Tull por la flauta, y cargado de buena guitarra fuzz. Las letras podrían ser catalogadas como polémicas, con fuerte sabor a folk-protesta, buscando raíces históricas. A mi parecer, un disco estupendo, recomendadísimo. (Antoni, Guerssen Records)


We were a group mostly under the twenties (very innocent then). We were neither expert in music nor had much idea of how to record an album. Nevertheless, we made it in just 3 days and with lots of entusiasm. I have to recognise that the repertory was not very wise, but it was made that way for the reminders. The words in the album are plenty of typos, due probably to the lack of knowledge about the language of the printing company. In 1996, the culture and youth house of Manises (Valencia) made an small reedition in CD format together with a book on the band's history. (Xavier Morant)
