Having developed themselves as a band, Plastic Woods redefines its sound and takes a step forward, creating a piece of work that explores new territories, mixing new genres and textures in an unique way. The chaotic times we are living inspire this three musicians to push their personality as a band through six songs, thought to take the best of each style involved. Classic psychedelia renovates itself as Dragonfruit travels around the extreme situations lived, personally and colectively, on this world crisis.

Description/Reviews:
The proggy rhythms, breaks, and melodies are a constant. The lower frequencies are solid. Guitar solos are fierce, sometimes fast, sometimes space-y. The energy is often off-the-chart. Even for its length, it's a very diverse album. No patchwork, the tracks do fit together as a unit. The shortness, the out-of-place track, and the fade-out are things that are easy to change on the next album, and it leaves enough to be enjoyed.

Societat Coral "El Vallès": Choir (4)
Abel Sequera: Additional drums (5)

Description/Reviews:
An instrumental production with an eclectic content ranging from film score oriented material and various instances of more or less electronic tinged material through to alternative progressive rock and a more retro-oriented variety of heavy progressive rock with some symphonic flourishes. Hence I gather that those with a more widespread taste for different aspects of progressive rock should be something of a key audience for this production in general, and then those who prefer music inside such a context to be instrumental in particular.
