Max Enix -
Far From Home (
Francia - 2023)
Recomendado en Facebook, tuve oportunidad de revisar este
doble álbum de un músico francés llamado
Max Enix. Este artista es ¨multiple¨, ya que según su página web es productor, actor, cantante, compositor, letrista, director de arte, etc. En su disco
¨Far From Home¨ publicado en Bandcamp el 9 de junio, nos entrega nada menos que
14 temas, con la colaboración orquestal de la Budapest Orchestra. Excelentes vocalizaciones, climas épicos, quizás el flanco débil del trabajo es precisamente el número de canciones. Al promediar el disco deberíamos tomar una pausa para no fatigar nuestra atención. De cualquier forma, este breve comentario servirá de aviso sobre la edición de
¨Far From Here¨ para nuestros amables lectores, a cuenta de alguna escucha un poco más profunda para poder emitir una opinión adecuada.
