Music reviews of Frontera
Music Review: When they used to play more than cocktail lounge flamenco
Rating: 5 Stars
This remains the best and most varied record from these two trendsetters. While their more recent records have become monotonous with the same beats and solos in every song, here every song is a majestic world of its own: the tempered jungle floatation of "Quetzal;" the human rights outcry of "Zona Liberada" featuring their most intense blurring speed whiplash inducing guitar break; the psychoerotic bellydance of "Reng;" the serene,firebreathing astronomy of Cassiopeia; the 100% Agave, lambada mayhem of "Rio Nuevo;" the scorching, sunbaked romance of "Abrazo;" the floating, eastern meditation of "Amitsar;" the opium-trail, mystical-caravan desert adventure of "The Dervish." This whole record has a unique atmosphere all its own, something like joy-of-aspiration-fulfilled running through it. Strunz and Farah's fusion of middle eastern sounds with flamenco, jazz, rock and latin elements reached its zenith on "Frontera." It went downhill from here, though very gradually. Trust me, if you're interested in the quality of the music, long after you're sick of eating the Guacamole Burgers of their disco records you'll be feasting on the Filet Mignon of "Frontera." Also, since you like acoustic guitar of the highest caliber or you wouldn't be reading this, I will recommend to you Larry Coryell's fantastic "Bolero" record. Buy that and "Frontera" and five years from now you'll still be listening to both.
