Some days ago I reviewed Destello de Estrellas en la Frente the second collaboration between Nový Svêt & Ö Paradis, so in honor to the music I decided to upload the first one Entre Siempre y Jamas Suben las Mareas, Duermen las Ciudades (Between Never and Always the Tides Arise and the Cities Sleep) this album at my criteria is way better than "destello..." the voices are just great, anyways Juergen Weber (Nový Svêt) is a great influence to Demian, and you can really feel the intensity of the presence of Weber, the album may be classified as Pop, or neo-folk or whatever, or like Demian himself classify it "Honest Pop." The vocal side is very well splitted in one hand we have Demians voice, nostalgic, cold, sad, and in the other hand Webers voice rough and eager, the instrumental side is full of nice experimentation, with some avant-garde notions, the bass lines are just great, is way more melodic than their 2nd collaboration, the album may not have the greatness of Serpiente De Luna, Serpiente De Sol but is a great piece of art, how the voices are entwined with the musical elements is just great.... Cheers!
