El Secreto Del Alfajor – Escapando del Maestro (El Adoctrinador)

Similar artists: Pink Floyd, The Doors, Deep Purple, Steppenwolf

Genre: Progressive Rock, Psychedelic Rock

Almost every rock is just waiting for a chance to tell you about their dream of having a beer with their favourite musician. And while it is understandable why fans would want to interact with their heroes, I am convinced that this would be a terrible and disappointing thing. Do we really want our rock stars to be ordinary dudes having beers in the pub on a Friday night? Do we really need to view them as our buddies? 

No, the very best artists ought to be unapproachable. There should be a mystique about every aspect of their lives and, particularly, about their work. Each one of their travels should be accompanied by new and almost unbelievable tales. They should be a mystery that scholars spend their lives trying unsuccessfully to decipher. 

El Secreto Del Alfajor’s “Escapando del Maestro (El Adoctrinador)” is a classic progressive rock built on the notion that what you can’t know about your favourite song happens to be the most important element. A complex tune in which the four-minute running time seems to stretch for hours, El Secreto Del Alfajor create music as deep as the wilderness in which it is easy to get lost. 


The Violet Twilight – Delight and Delusions

Similar artists: The Dandy Warhols, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, Tame Impala, Mild High Club, Allah-Las

Genre: Psychedelic Rock

Here we are in a new year, but the world at large is just as pessimistic for the future. Ask your regular Joe or Jane off the street, and they’re likely to tell you that the planet is doomed, so is everyone on it, and that there ain’t much that we can do about it. 

But there are a few categories of people who simply can’t accept such talk and for whom optimism is built into the way that they see the world. Cosmic psychedelic rockers like The Violet Twilight are among those folks, and they may not even realize it. 

The reason why I am convinced of what I write is that the kind of music that they write has to involve a romantic view of the universe. To write music about wonderful and mysterious other worlds has to come from a place of hopefulness. 

The Violet Twilight’s “Delight and Delusions” is music best heard with one’s eyes kept firmly closed. It’s the use of the electric guitar as a vehicle for space exploration and one more reason to ring in the new year with a sense that plenty of things are still possible.
