Aguaturbia\u2019s debut album was originally released in 1970 and showcases one of South America’s most significant psychedelic bands from the late 60s and early 70s. Their influence in their native Chile \u2014and beyond\u2014 was groundbreaking.<\/p>\n
In July that same year the band recorded this \u201cVolumen 2\u201d that delivers even heavier intensity than their debut LP. As expected, this album is raw and dynamic, featuring heavy rhythms, distortion, and exceptional phased female vocals reminiscent of Jefferson Airplane. Comparisons with the Grateful Dead, Country Joe and the Fish and Led Zeppelin can be drawn.\u00a0Splendid heavy psych and proto-stoner tracks make this album a pioneer recording in the history of South American rock.<\/p>\n
The LP showcases breathtaking moments, like the psych-blues \u2018Heartbreaker\u2019 or \u2018I Wonder Who\u2019 where guitarist Carlos Corales shines. When he played solos at the gigs, the effect on the audience was silence and euphoria at the same time. In fact, Carlos Corales (guitar) and Willy Cavada (drums) were both professional musicians who had made a previous career in rock and roll bands. Other outstanding songs are \u2018Blues On The Westside\u2019, \u2018Waterfall\u2019 and the magnificent \u2018Well All Right\u2019.<\/p>\n
Controversy accompanies the release of the album once again. In this case the cover artwork, a tribute to Salvador Dal\u00ed, scandalizes the most conservative sector of Chilean society.<\/p>\n
“Volumen 2” is an essential album to understand the construction of what we know today as Chilean rock.
