Carsten Pieper I had so much fun checking this "one-piece-album" (in fact, it does more feel like an album with several songs; it even comes with "vinyl noises" after "side one"...)out while peeling and slicing things for New Year's Eve's dinner that I had do grab it in the New Year :-)
Great mixture of many things progressive rocky amazingly all done by Rodrigo San Martin on his own. Impressive!

Sven B. Schreiber (sbs) I'm a big fan of Rodrigo San Martín since I discovered his funny but most interesting "mock progressive rock band", as he puts it, which he named "The Astral Playtypus". He wrote and recorded their entire discography in 2011, so the epic one-track album "1" was what he was working on shortly before that. Not surprising that it's something awesome, too! This highlight of Argentine symphonic rock is not prog the easy way - but who wants that anyway?!

"1" 39:12
Phase 1: Calmness surrounds me as I go, attacks me every day All this silence makes me run away find shelter in my head But I know I won't be leaving soon yeah, I know I'm stuck here Will I remember this moment for the rest of my life? But I know I won't be leaving soon yeah, I know I'm stuck here No clouds in the sky I'll make my own will I ever miss this moment? Waiting for the day days never go by waiting for the days when everything starts will I ever miss this moment? Flying in purple skies backed up with my allies I don't know when I'll make this come true But I know It's my truth Phase 2: Open your eyes child open your eyes now open your eyes and see everything around you No no no don't show me No no no don't show me what you have Open your eyes and see It was only a dream No no no don't show me No no no don't show me what you have No no no don't show me No no no don't show me what you have Phase 3: The world has let me down and I have become Awake and full of hate and rage I have become I find myself surrounded by faces with no eyes nor ears nor brain just empty smiles Will I always be all by myself? Will I fight alone on this cruzade? I know what I will Do the rest of my life I must I must wake up everyone around Like sheep they follow the one in front I'm trapped by faces with no head no eyes no ears no brain at all Will I always be all by myself? Will I fight alone on this cruzade? Phase 4 (instrumental) Phase 5 Year after year I fought to get my message through Oh I find myself completely drained oh To perfect myself I have run away completely isolated Do you know how it feels to face betrayal? Do you know how it feels to admit you're wrong? To perfect myself I have run away completely isolated Have I wasted all this time? nothing left but giving up what would you do? Do I want to be like everybody else? Oh To perfect myself I have run away complete isolation Have I wasted all this time? nothing left but giving up what should I do? What I am is what I do Oh To perfect myself I have run away Complete isolation Have I wasted all this time? nothing left but giving up what will I do? (even) If I wasted all my life I would never give it(you) up Phase 6 Can you believe I waited all my life to see you, to hold you in my hands? She refuses to see the world as they paint it blank All of my creations do look obsolete when I see her smile for the first time She refuses to accept what others take for granted She refuses to see her world torn apart She refuses to let her world torn apart Phase 7 A life ends and proves your efforts were in vain No mercy just shame your fate shall be the same You've told me that I would be able to take the pain You've let me in charge but I don't feel I can go on I regret the distance I chose to take Your ghost will haunt me 'till the end of days You opened my eyes and taught me how to see You've let me in charge but I don't think I can go on Let me out (x4) Let me out (x4) A life ends you know you'll never be the same You absorb the pressure the way you alwads did But somehow time shows the thing you always knew Each second is precious and you're already on your countdown Let me out (x4) Phase 8 Do you remember what you wanted to be? I miss that moment What are you waiting to be the one who stops the rain as it goes by? I'll live that moment I refuse to let the world torn apart
