Argentina's Poseidotica make tenuous music. That's to say, this is gentle instrumental rock played delicately. This quartet's chops are clearly laid out; they are a crafty bunch never going for the easy heavy hook and focusing instead in harmonic psychedelia and timid prog rock. That gives them the advantage to appeal to both fanbases, and the potential disadvantage of turning off the same fanbases. I am a bit ambivalent as these songs seem too in the middle, constantly rubbing the right buttons but too afraid of pushing them.The first and title track is clear example; a mid tempo of prog hiccups, clear strings and esoteric theremin. Others like "Sueño Narcotico" are rightful exercises in playful heaviness and jazz-like zen moments. It's an early peak for an album that seems so textured it is only natural for it to show gradual evolution. But Poseidotica show restraint and subtlety. Their songs are nuanced exercises that show delicate composition and extreme detail. "Sueño Narcotico" ends in such calmed fashion one wonders why is it that it started hard in the first place. "Tiempo y Espacio" is an open song that justifies its title via sparse playing and an almost whimsical sci fi sense. At the other extreme lies "Campo Magnetico", you only need to think of Hawkwind and its fuzzy pussy hair. La Distancia comes to an end with "Las Magnitudes" a fourteen minute mammoth of upbeat ping pong guitar playing. Of course, the culmination takes about half the song, comes the silence growing sounds emerge once again to symbolize the continuation. It's the typical grand way to end an album like this. Poseidotica definitely know their trade.
