Flying To Exotic Places

"One of the most-difficult challenges for any music artist is to generate new ideas that don't rehash existing ideas. And in his latest album, "Leccion de Vuelo", Aleks Syntek may have achieved this objective, with some ideas to spare.



The opening track, "Superficie Lunar," captures Syntek's youthful style of his "pre-Bienvenido" days. Yet is more-daring, with improvisation and exotic percussion cast in the old-school rock format. "Historias de Danzon...." is my favorite track on the album, combining a haunting acoustic fabric with a "techno" edge. "La Dona Muerte" is another daring tune, in the Tex-Mex style. With the artful, unpredictable harmonies and rhythms, it may be Syntek's most-brilliant composition of the CD. The emotional roller coaster "Intocable" may become Song of the Year. The original guitar hook and achingly-beautiful lyrics could make this song a timeless classic. "Hasta El Fin...." is a hard-hitting party tune a la Bon Jovi. "Natalia" is about Aleks' adorable hija, with her cute vocal gestures adorning a pleasant jazz-like setting. "Laberinto" may be modern pop, yet is so musical, you realize it's a true original. "Quien Soy" is a folksy, down-to-earth acoustic duet, my second-favorite tune on the CD. "Tu Hechizo" has a "Wang Chung" style dance flavor. "Entra" is unmistakably "Beatles"... With a John Lennon-like depth that is often lacking in other efforts to re-create the spirit of the Fab Four. And the title track, "Leccion de Vuelo", an experimental mix of electronic and acoustic, will leave the listener feeling as if the album is "unfinished business"..... Stay tuned....



The sound quality of this CD bucks the recent "loudness wars" trend in popular music. Like some of Syntek's other recordings, the sonics are exceptional. Kudos to Armando Avila for yet another sonic gem.



Brilliant music knows no limits, and flies to new, exotic places. A lesson, or leccion, that transcends language, culture, and generation."
