Description: EL TEMPLO DEL DINEROEL TEMPLO DEL DINERO, 1999 (CD, jewelcase)Prog band from Mexico, related to Iconoclasta, Muros de Agua & Oxomaxoma Brand new mint & sealed. As I've written about in the past, Smogless was a Mexican label in the late 90s something akin to the Kosmische Kouriers or Prescription Drug (UK), with a blend of bands celebrating the psychedelic underground. El Templo del Dinero was but one of these ensembles, likely collected for this recording rather than as a touring concern. The participants are an unusual lot for a recording such as this. Guitarist Victor Mendez had played in a couple of oddball bands from the early 90s - one was the unhinged Zeuhl group Vector Escoplo and the other was the arty Subsuelo... Drummer Victor Baldovinos comes from the decidedly symphonic group Iconoclasta. Newcomer bassist Alfredo Landa fills out the trio. Based on this lineup, one wouldn't normally expect an homage to early Guru Guru and Sensations Fix, but more or less that's what we're dealing with here. Instrumental psychedelic space rock is the order of the day. The sound is raw and very much a product of the deep underground. El Templo del Dinero was hardly alone doing this kind of music in Mexico at this time, and one will hear similarities to Humus, Loch Ness, and Frolic Froth. The guitars are wonderfully compressed and super fuzzed out, and the rhythm section moves around constantly. Sometimes in sync, sometimes not - which is part of the allure. But it's definitely a competent work by experienced musicians. I've seen references to this being a jazz fusion type album, but I cannot hear it myself. No more than Guru Guru's UFO being considered such. Another reference would be the obscure Chicago based band Matter. (ashratom, rateyourmusic) 1st album by Mexican power Fusion trio El Templo Del Dinero, which is definitely one of the most original and striking Fusion albums recorded in this country. Using the usual guitar-bass-drums instrumentation the group manages to create some intense and very imaginative music here. The guitarist (Victor Mendez R.) is a true virtuoso on his instrument and the rhythm section provides him with a superbly crafted support with pulsating and powerful bass and intelligent drums pyrotechnics. The music is absolutely great, with no dull moments whatsoever. Fusion fans will drool over this beauty! (Jazzis, rateyourmusic) Tracklist: 1. Hundir las naves 1:482. Ni verte 4:133. 30 monedas2:454.
