Залит JaenKief/(2007)_Las_Нadas_No_Vuelan_Mas_2_El_Agua_DeFrente

Редкий гость - прогрессив-рок коллектив из Колумбии.
Информации о них немного. Из нее понятно, что Женя Киевский - это не два, а один, и вообще не человек, а название команды, специально созданной для реализации вот этого проекта под условным названием "Феи больше не летают-2"; 2 - потому, что это - вторая реализация данного проекта, первая, в 1999-м году, как-то не пошла.
Из описания есть только заметка гитариста группы - Хуана Карлоса, на плохом английском (править не буду).
UPD. Таки "Виноградный Кайф" - забавно они назвались.
По музыке, однако, проект весьма интересен - он представляет собой эдакий эпический нео-прог/прог-металл с сильным местным колоритом, отличным мужским и женским вокалом (поют по-испански), и прекрасным владением инструментами, коих дофига.
В общем, мне понравилось (особенно после Инфонии).

Juan Carlos (electric guitar) about the history: "Jaen Kief was, initially (1999), the union of some musicians to mount "Las Нadas No Vuelan Mas", work of one an a half hour of compound duration almost in its entirety between 1990 and 1998. It was clear the instrumentation and the scenic idea. 2 previous assembly intents had already failed. We didn't still have name. There were not other projects. We rehearse during one year to very good rhythm, without desire of presenting us until mounting a good part of the work. We wanted a name him to remit exclusively to the group. A really own name. That it didn't give the idea of any other thing (in fact when entering the words Jaen Kief to any searcher of Internet it is only information on the band). Also we wanted him to be sound. Musical if one wants. The 2 words find them, after eight months of being rehearsing, in a Small Larousse (dictionary with edition of half-filled of the XX Century): "Jaen" = grape variety that grows in Spain and "Kief" = absolute rest in half east. Then we discover that the oriental also call Kief (absolute Нappiness) to the effect taken place by the hashish. The name evokes to east and occident, to the diversity, to the eclecticism characteristic of the music made by the band."

Juan Carlos about their music: "In these moments Jaen Kief's music is, I believe, something different from which one listens in "Vagas Nubes" because we are to fifteen years of that first creation. Нowever I would say that it conserves the same intention: the experimentation, the search. It is rock and something more. "Las Нadas No Vuelan Mas" is a metaphor of La Perdida De La Inocencia (The Loss Of The Innocence): the demand mediathic to marry in the mold, the absurd scandal, becoming insensitive and "Productive" serial adult, the view against the being, not thinking for itself, not creating, not looking for, not changing, etc. The songs and the lyrics are the perplexity of a 20 year-old boy that now has 34 but that it still continues suffering."

Juan Carlos about Jean Kief and the term 'progressive rock': "It is a flattery. I admire to many bands of progressive rock. They have also defined us as contemporary, programmatic, eclectic music, minimalista, I find etc. excellent to be difficult to classify."

Juan Carlos about the Colombian scene and of the Colombian progressive groups in particular: "I understand that in Medellin the term scene this related one exclusively to the rock. I believe that the best music in the country is developed in other environments: The Jazz (Claudia Gómez, Ziguarajazz); the Andean experimentation (Ensamble); the investigation folkloric (Fernando Franco). In progressive alone I know OtraBanda and Syrinx, both very good ones."

Juan Carlos about now and the near future: "Las hadas no vuelan mas" is a work of an hour and a half of duration that we could not take place in a single CD for lack of money. We decide then to take out it in 2 parts:
1. "Vagas Nubes" (sentence of: "La Clepsidra", song that it belongs to the 2nd part).
2. "El agua de frente" (sentence of: "Momento gris parte IV", song that it belongs to the 1st part).

Thanks to "Vagas Nubes" this year we sign contract with the known French label Musea Records for a reissue and distribution in Europe, Japan, US, Canada, Brazil and Argentina (distribution that will give beginning in January - March of 2006). What continues, then, is to take place as soon as we can "El Agua De Frente". For the time being we are working in a new work, more complex and more experimental than it will take for name "Nudos De Arena".
