A sharply defined synth-pop and dance-rock palette carries strong grooves and a measured pace, though the sequencing is more consistent than dramatically shaped.

What we noticed

  • The original ten-track sequence moves from the brisk, synth-driven opening into the slower, more spacious "Ausencia" before returning to the dance pulse of "Rumbos secretos."
  • "Danza narcótica" and "Encuentro en el río musical" lean on repeating bass-and-keyboard grooves, while "Ausencia" gives the album its clearest drop in pace.
  • The catalogued eleventh track, "Impulsos aleatorios," is not part of the original ten-track LP sequence and is excluded from the pacing judgment.

Influence 6/10

Significant within its genre. Reported but not counted — how far a record travelled describes its reception rather than the record, and a newer release has had less time to travel than an older one.
