ISTHAR" Blood, Sweat and Tears "

(Olomor Productions)

UK If we talk about Purple saga, here we could almost speak of the saga Nu. Although Ishtar, the band before us was born in the 70's about the same time as that of José Carlos Molina . The founder and sole member of the same perdurantism, bassist and singer José Luis Rodríguez was able to combine their work in both courses for a few years, recording with the falutista of Legazpi as the legendary live album "No Fool" and his successor study "The Magician's Message" . He also found time to give birth to the first work of Ishtar reuptados musicians with national and international rock scene titled "En El Mundo De Los Sueños" , after which and after some gigs in early 90's with a great display of media, the group disappears with the odd comeback attempt with little success so far that José Luis seems to want to return try with new travel companions. Together with guitarists Javier Busto and Pedro Fuentes, the latter also a singer, drummer José Manuel Gorjón , and saxophonist Antonio José Fernández , recover the seventies and symphonic sound to complete this "Blood, Sweat and Tears ". A title that I suppose will have much to do with the time and effort invested to pull it off time and that could well apply to the history of many other discs. To put us think we can match the sound of this work to that of bands like Bloc or asphalt at the base and undisguised passion symphony and instruments, or to more rock and other cane-eighties, the first Maiden for example, by its rhythms and powerful guitars at times. Of course, all painted by the originality that brings prominent inclusion of the sax Antonio José Fernández fragamentos in many of the compositions. Overall a charming and evocative sound that starts shelling with virguera "bugger off" which is a kind of long instrumental intro that gives way to more elaborate than brilliant "The Storm" with great presence of guitars that at times are excessive . Much partying and rockin affordable "Where I Want" marked by the sax and piano with a touch horterilla and poppy, but fun in any case, to harden in the home employment very hard to "Lost In The Void" for the more symphonic and experimental low vocal presence. Progressive sound to the complex and somewhat psychedelic "phobia Cronofobia" with good touches of saxophone and versatile guitars that make this cut this as far as possible commerciality, as most of the disc. Elaborates in more than nine minutes of slow warm "While all sleep" that reaches epic heights based mystic and soft acoustic sound, soiling immediately afterwards with the chaotic but controlled "Cuentos Chinos", touching the urban rock voice criticism Rascon "Mr. Important" flown by the shadow of Topo-Asphalt, to reach the obvious blues of "My Old Blues" relaxed piece that highlights some of their soft voices but grows in pace and intensity during development. The end of the album comes on the heels of a couple of the important instrumental excesses and Curran "D-10" with eastern winds honoring the name of the group, and the complex and convoluted "Say High To My Psychiatrist" resulting something recharged with outstanding guitar Javier Busto within a changing rhythms. It gets the final point with a gentle version of "The Plant 14 "Victor Manuel in expressing the tragedy of the Asturian mines above the voice full of drama with a good sax solo becoming stiff. Final dear to close a return to a sound that was part of the history of English rock for many years and, I suppose, some people seem out of touch and other times they probably best remembered in many ways.
