The Echo Of The Desert

• “With Pink Floyd being my favourite band and The Doors among those not far behind, how could I not like these Mexican grand-sons of a certain James Douglas Morrison!? Well, overall the Doors influences clearly dominate, but early-Floydian elements are plenty and the occasional Latin infusions make things even more interesting. Someone mentioned Tio Carlos S. and listening to El Buitre, I won't argue with that ;-) I chose Ziggurat as favourite, as it's combining nicely the mentioned influences...”

• “This band wears its Pink Floyd and Jim Morrison on its sleeves, but who am I to complain? They insert enough fantastic songwriting and musicianship into the mix to own their own sound. And for all the obvious homage, they still sound modern. Killer album. Update: I like this even more with each spin. This is real good.”

• “Very excellent desert rock with heavy doses of the Psyche Blues of Pink Floyd and Santana style jazz fusion. Can't really pick out a single favourite track, whole album is a brilliant listen with fantastic musicianship.”

• “¡𝓔l Rey Lagarto vive! The doors of perception have teleported to the fringes of Mexico City, guarded by the psychedelic concierges of Rider Negro. This brand of tie-dyed desert blues holds timeless appeal; from 60s L.A. to Mēxihco 2020. Long thunders the desert's echo. Upon tundra's tempest through meadow's zephyr.”
