i already posted about toundra's second album, aptly entitled 'II'. but before i ordered that record, i got aware of this spanish instrumental band through this album right here. i stumbled across this copy of 'III' while looking through per koro's discogs offerings. the cover looked really cool and i just wanted to check what was behind it. i do this quite often, listening to bands because i like cover artworks. sometimes it fails and sometimes it works out.
after i listened to 'cielo negro' i knew this would work out. even though i think that 'II' is a bit nicer, because of the geographical concept to the music, 'III' is such a strong record. so fine balanced between the atmospheric parts and the more forceful parts that a missing of lyrics isn't even an issue. that band should really get more attention.
checking the pressing information at discogs i am a little puzzled as to what version i hold in hands. not one colour way seems to fit my opaque blue with white and black marble vinyl platter. per koro sold it with a 'limited to 100' description. well, i am inclined to accept this assumption. anyone knows the real deal? apart from that the whole artwork together with the back cover looks stunning. love the semi-transparent insert. aloud music. 2012.
