:ODB - "Techarí"

Even if you don't speak Spanish, you should check out this disc.

I have been waiting for what seems like forever for my copy to arive from Spain and it finally did this morning! Ojos de Brujo is one of the most spectacular bands in the world, in my humble opinion of course.

Last year I drove to Chicago just to see them and they certainly lived up to their reputation as being one of the best live bands touring right now.

Although I, uh, obtained a copy of this album on its day of release, there is nothing like having the real thing in my hands, especially with the 80 page special edition booklet that accompanies the CD and bonus CD-ROM. This is by far one of the tightest albums I have ever heard.

Check them out, you won't be sorry!

(Not to mention the fact they run their own label and tour management themselves - any band independent enough to stick it to the major labels has to be doing something right!)
