An amazing little record from the free-thinking scene in Uruguay at the end of the 60s -- a strange mix of styles, but a brilliant one too! Limonada only ever cut this one record, but it's a real masterpiece -- a blend of 60s beat group instrumentation, candomble rhythms, and some of the headier styles floating around the Brazilian and Peruvian scenes at the time -- modes that were experimental, but always playful, and are handled here by Limonada in a sound that's instantly appealing, no matter what your language or politics! The record has a tremendously groovy sound from the very start -- a compressed, slightly psychedelic sound that features lots of weird twists and turns, but always moves back into a straightforward groove in the nick of time. The production alone is worth the price of admission -- at a level similar too, but rougher than, some of the Tropicalia work of the time -- and titles include "Ojos Que Miran Lejos", "Pies Descalzos", "Lejos Estas", "Barrio De Casas Bajas", "Veo Luz En La Ventana", "Cambiar La Rosa", and "Viejo Tambor". Deluxe reissue package too -- heavy vinyl and cover, and an insert with notes!
