Luis Alberto Spinetta, the one and only musician and national hero of Argentina, whose birthday, January 23, is celebrated as National Musicians' Day. Starting with Almendra, then Pescado Rabioso, Invisible, Spinetta Jade, and solo works, you know that each work still has a lot of influence. This is the second album by the newly formed Spinetta Jade in 1981, following his US debut “Only Love Can Sustain” in 1980, which was written entirely in English. The band's main characteristic of the two keyboardists remains the same, with Diego Rapoport still at the mother of the band, but the keyboardist has been replaced by Leo Sujatovich, who has played in bands such as PorSuiGieco, Tantor, Raíces, and the bassist has been replaced by Frank Ojstersek, who was a member of Argentina's first jazz rock band Sr. Zutano, and was highly trusted by Spinetta. The drummer is of course Pomo Lorenzo. It seems to be a simpler album than the first, but it also has a more distinctive mellow feel to it. The album is sure to be enjoyable from start to finish, including captivating highlights "La Herida De París", "Sexo", "Un Viento Celeste", "No Te Busques Ya En El Umbral", to  up-tempo "El Hombre Dirigente" with mellowness and slowness, neat jazz rock "Contra Todos Los Males De Este Mundo", the instrumental "Influjo Estelar" with improvisations, to the final track "Nunca Me Oíste En Tiempo" addressed to critics and journalists. Please enjoy the aftermath of listening to this album. The original sleeve is missing, but the disc is in pretty good condition.

生誕日である1月23日はナショナル・ミュージシャン・デイとして祝されるというアルゼンチンの国民的英雄にして唯一無二の音楽家Luis Alberto Spinetta。Almendraから始まり、Pescado Rabioso、Invisible、Spinetta Jadeそしてソロ名義とその作品群は現在においても多くの影響を与えているのはご存知だと思います。本作は80年の全編英詩のUSデヴュー作”Only Love Can Sustain”に次いで、新たに結成されたSpinetta Jadeによる81年のセカンドアルバム。大きな特徴である二人のキーボードを配した構成は変わらずバンドの心臓Diego Rapoportはそのままに、PorSuiGieco, Tantor, Raícesといったバンドを歴任するLeo Sujatovichへ変更、ベースはBeto Satragniからアルゼンチン初のジャズロックバンドSr. Zutanoのメンバーとしてスピネッタから厚い信頼を寄せられていたFrank Ojstersekに変更されています。ドラムはもちろんPomo Lorenzo。ファーストから比べシンプルになった印象を抱きつつもその特有のメロウネスをより振りまく構成となっているように感じます。聞き入ってしまうハイライトの”La Herida De París”, "Sexo", "Un Viento Celeste", "No Te Busques Ya En El Umbral"を筆頭に他にも疾走感がありながら緩急をつけるメロウネスを漂わす”El Hombre Dirigente”、端正なジャズロック”Contra Todos Los Males De Este Mundo”、即興演奏を交えたインスト曲”Influjo Estelar”、批評家やジャーナリストへ向けたラストの”Nunca Me Oíste En Tiempo”まで全編楽しめます。聞き終えた余韻に浸りたいです。オリジナルスリーヴ欠ですが盤面良好な部類です。
