"I have come to light the world - God said-. And I wish it were burning already ! This cd is simply the result of combining great music with great remix makers. Far from well-known mixers, the ones who re-made this double album are the ones who went deeper in Fangoria's transparent original work: Una Temporada en el Infierno. This is a remixes album that explores the unbeatable strenght of Fangoria's music and lyrics. Going from Madelman, Angel Molina, Teen Marcianas, Big Toxic to Prozak and Plastilina Mosh, we find familiar sounds that range from electronica to psychedelic sixties-like guitar notes.
First track in both cd's is remarkably intimate, "Cierra los ojos" becomes an hymne to what could be called an approach to Spanish Chill-Out with Olvido Gara (the so-called Alaska) lyrics and profound echoes at the back.
Some other tracks take us to eclectic rooms where the only thing in common is the desire of making vibrating beats and remaking them to blame someone else. "A tu lado" (remixed and performed by Lemon Fly) in CD1 is an anthem of a perfect gay-like song. Its beat is pure, dynamic and the lyrics are the calling of a hopeless desire of never holding what one wants: Hell is the others. And the others are the ones who dare make fun of themselves and glorify their ludicrous sense of obstinacy.No doubt: "In the beginning there was a Paradise, but the insensible man demanded something else to life...""
