Mount And Blade Toppes

Gabinete Caligari: dying of success? Nacho Vegas


This group seduced me from the first song. His outstanding "Camino Soria", published in 1987, coincided with my 14 year old and of course, the sound of guitars, bass and drums, with these lyrics verging on cockiness and topics and vocabulary typically "Hispanic" had to like. I remember playing that album for months, years, on the radio, and as one to one singles ended up being almost all subjects of James, Edi and Fernie. The aesthetics of Staff, poses and letters, were really an important reference point during my adolescence.

At the same time, arms to the elbows in the famous cassette boxes on offer, I got a couple of his tapes, compilations of previous work, where I find that sound dark and sinister underground its inception. Songs like "Heroes of the Soviet Union", "One day in Texas", "God Give Luck", "Grade 33", "Song of the Pollino" (this song went something like: "... We are normal people / Till Sunday comes / We those who fill the stadiums / to insult and blaspheme / We are not going to the theater / And we are flesh of bar ... worthwhile to hear it). From the same album that the latter, of course, "Al Calor del Amor in a Bar"

Little by little I ordered his discography and fitting the various songs on their respective LPs, EPs and pre miniLPs " Camino Soria ", the latter being primarily and not be weary:" Obedience "," God Give Luck "," Four Roses "(with the song of that title really become known to the general public) and" In Heat Love in a bar. " Really high quality work and a strong presence in the so-called "Movida."

"Camino Soria" is, for me, one of those albums that can be heard as if it were one song, and that together they fit with each other so that build a great song. Or I think so. What do you say "The Blood of your sadness," "Bridal Suite", "Play Uli", "Camino Soria" or "Luck is like a fish? For me temazos essential if you will this kind of music ...

From here the group begins a decline that will take them away in the late 90's. His subsequent works have no impact expected. These are: "Private", "One Hundred Thousand Turns", "Gabinetissimo" and "Come up Music." Above all "Private" is one of the great unknown, despite being regarded by many, including me, one of the best LPs of pop / rock music of all time English. Right now, with vinyl in my hands, I suggest such famous songs as "Guilt was Chachachá" or "You Only Live A Time "was the single presentation. And others which hardly anyone knows, "Word of Honor", "Professional", "Private", "My Luck" (song on which Loquillo speech and not to), "She's Sweet" (version of "She Smiled Sweetly ", the" Rolling Stones ") and, for me, the great unknown, the best of the album:" Taking the Airecico "where, in my opinion, it combines all the sound, most characteristic letter and spirit of the Cabinet. As they have much to say, stop here for today, I leave a couple of songs for which the known or unwilling to do so, and I promise more soon.
