| | Album notes | Jaguares: Saul Hernandez (vocals, guitar); Cesar Lopez (guitar); Federico Fong (bass guitar); Alfonso Andre (drums, programming, sequencer); Leonardo Munoz (percussion, programming). Additional personnel: Adrian Belew (guitar, koto, keyboards, background vocals); John Painter (trumpet, trombone). Just as American and British rock encompasses an incredibly wide variety of styles, Rock en Espanol spans many different sub-genres. While some artists classified under said heading are essentially traditional Latin bands that employ a few electric guitars and a drum kit, others, such as Jaguares, are committed to a full-on rock approach. "Bruja Canibal" lays the band's biggest influence out for all to see, employing a sound highly reminiscent of the Beatles' "Tomorrow Never Knows," complete with backwards guitars, phase-shifted vocals, and circular drum pattern. "Tu Me Liberas" and "Fenomeno," on the other hand, fast-forward a few decades, mining the chorused guitar sounds and danceable beats of INXS. "Ya Te Quemaste" looks further afield, with its dissonant guitar solos and stop-start rhythms, sounding like a combination of Jane's Addiction and DISCIPLINE-era King Crimson. (In fact, Crimson's Adrian Belew produced this album.) With an eclectic sound that should appeal to a wide range of rock fans, CRONICAS DE UN LABERINTO is an intriguing, multi-faceted release.
