3spada "Cuaderna d3 Bitacora" (p)2020
It looks like Paco Espada has created this album without any navigation system. It's like, "What's your destination?" - "My destination is somewhere". He drifts freely through the genres as diverse as neo-prog ("Epitafio d3 Seikilos"), groove metal ("Grey Garden"), funk rock with scratches and ethnic motives ("Just Sound"), cabaret-stylized modal jazz ("Cefiro") or even crossover ("No Way") with his abilities to add some bass-driven component into any given genre clearly on display. With such the heterogenous environment it's obvious that some tracks may work perfectly for you, and some may not. For me, the aforementioned jazz theme doesn't seem like the real deal while the rest of the album with the bunch of tracks forged in the metal-related subgenres got me completely satisfied.
