"The raw beauty of Landing resonates with me this morning. Like any good music might, it transports me to a better place. Chino Burga consciously takes us out of the daily grind, and shows us different ways to reflect. I’d gladly invite you to take this trip, not in the least because the end of our collective meditation we get a reward in album closer Quyllur, one of the most impressive pieces of music I experienced this year."
The ascended master of Peruvian kosmiche and mind expanding ambience returns with this fantastic lp of widescreen, eyes to the skies sounds of the stars made for prime time higher elevation. Chino Burga got his start in the early 90’s as a member of several crucial Peruvian bands to the nascent Peruvian scene such as Culto Al Qondor and La Ira de Dios. Relocating to the peace and solitude of life far from the city, Chino has focused on his solo career developing his signature drone guitar sound with hard driving kosmische soundscapes mixed with Andean music creating a hypnotic spacey trance with emphasis in the lack of tempo (or time).
