Comment: in truth, this is obviously the first issue coming out from Cuba being appeared at RMH. Indeed, Fidel Castro is dead and Cuba, Island of Freedom is not the same anymore as it has been for decades beforehand. One of the new signs is this 10-notch whole due to its highly provoking and unnerving nature. Honestly, I didn't expect to find it from Cuba. By immersing in noise torrents and frantic electronic appearances (for instance, spasmodic electronic flickers and saturated improvisations and abstract signal-alike beeps). On the other side, the frenetic side is a bit balanced by string instruments though the nature of it is also harsh rather than gentle. At times the listener can hear silently flowing sampledelic undercurrents as if bearing a hidden message. This highly galvanized release is a part of the discography of a Chilean release, Pueblo Nuevo.
