An album released in 1990 by Argentine jazz bassist Jorge Lopez Ruiz, known for numerous masterpieces — including De Las Colonias Del Rio De La Plata, which was also featured in OBSCURE SOUND REVISED EDITION — that could rightly be called historic classics. Ruiz himself handled not only the bass but also a wide range of instruments and orchestrations. Reflecting the spirit of the times in 1990, the album prominently incorporates electronics more than ever before, while still embracing strong elements of tango and contemporary music. Featuring the effective use of narration by Donna Caroll, the album presents a cinematic soundscape that feels like watching a film. It showcases truly outstanding contemporary jazz throughout and stands as a crucial turning point in Ruiz’s career. Highly, highly recommended from beginning to end.
