About the album:

Reserva - Music - Wine

Both wine and music are conceived by capturing wild tastes and flavours of different climates, cultures and colors. Good wine often matures after being aged for a good while. Pop music usually turns into vinegar just a year after coming off the charts. Yet, there is music that is produced as wine: they are re-recorded, re-written just as good wine is being poured from younger to older barrels. Then both will stay and age for a while.

This record is very much a collection of music that can be called Reserva (Spanish name for quality aged wines). These ideas have been conceived in different countries in the late 80's, recorded and re-recorded/remixed in other countries almost ten years later. Not to mention that they have then aged for another good 10-6 years;) By going through this process, they get a lot of flavours from all those people involved. God bless them all!. This music has not been recorded for any particular label, format or market. Take a sip and enjoy...
