Album Info

Release Date: 2024

Label: Spinda Records

Heavy Psych & Prog Rock from Algeciras (Spain).

The story of 'Coñac Oxigenado', much like that of the band itself, is a saga in its own right, marked by unbridled creativity, perseverance, and a passion for music. Recorded analogically in 2009 at Doghouse Studios in Seville (Spain) by Curro Ureba, this album captured the raw and vibrant spirit of the band in its purest moment. However, after a series of events and artistic decisions, the final version of the album didn't see the light until 2012, through Alone Records, and after being entirely re-recorded in 2010 by José María Sagrista at Punta Paloma Studios (Spain).

On April 4, 2024, Spinda Records releases a deluxe edition of 'Coñac Oxigenado'. For the occasion, both versions of the album are presented, from the original pre-mixes by Curro Ureba to the final version recorded by the renowned producer José María Sagrista, mixed by José Gil at Crab Studios, and mastered by Chris Rozioswki in the US. Undoubtedly, this is a unique window into the band's sonic evolution and the creative magic that has defined their legacy.

In addition to the inclusion of both recordings, this reissue of 'Coñac Oxigenado' features a series of significant differences: arrangements, song durations, mixes, and lyrics vary between the two versions, offering listeners a complete perspective of the musical vision of the band from Algeciras. If in the final version they had the collaboration on guitar of José María Sagrista (Triana, Círculo Vicioso) in "Eterna Soledad", in the initial version Marco Serrato (Orthodox) contributed vocals in "Occuli Omnium In Te Sperant Domine". However, the main difference lies in the inclusion of "Todo Es Nada", an unreleased track to date that was part of the 2009 recording but was left out of the final version in favor of "Ni perdón, Ni Olvido".
