A giant step forward.......2007-01-23

Punto Omega's second release improves on their previous album on all levels. The production levels in this release are one of the highest in the market, not only in the electronic genre. They show that hard work and creativity are enough to compensate for modest resources when it comes to creating an uncompromised work of art. This album appeals to a wide public while still maintaining cohesion and coherence from beginning to end.

For those who have listened the band's previous work, expect more of everything in this new release. The melodies and rhythms are more varied than before, they have more guest singers, more analog instruments, while still staying true to the trademark lyrics and music that you have come to love from this band.

Nostalgias del Origen takes us in an introspective journey through internal landscapes, encouraging us to reflect on the moral of our way of life. The album starts with a masterful introduction, with bagpipes played by Pilgrim himself letting us know that the journey has begun. It soon develops into the martial, dance-floor stomping rhythms of the first part, called The Exile (El Destierro), whose tidal waves transition into the calmer melodies of the second part, appropriately named The Return (El Regreso).

Pilgrim has managed to introduce in his compositions many string instruments, skillfully played by guest musicians, that add another dimension to the music. Guest singers, each having his own style, provide a whole new set of emotions and Pilgrim himself surprises us as well by appearing in one of the songs without the trademark distortion.

The lyrics by Viator and Aletheia are deep and no-nonsense, and without them this work would not be complete. Although the lyrics are in Spanish, the band was considerate with the rest of the world and included in the booklet English translations for all the lyrics. The booklet itself is far from being a last minute addition to the album: Each page is decorated with a beautifully hand-drawn illustration that complements music and lyrics. The cover art is one of the most detailed and meaningful works that I have seen in an album.

All in all, this album is a must have. I personally like it a lot more than the first album.

THE CHILD DEVIANT!.......2007-06-19

I really can't complain too much here. This is verry well produced EBM band that hail from Argentina (I think), or maybe it's Mexico (not certain). The lyrics are in spanish. Anyways,the music sounds like they took Hocico and VnV Nation and threw them into a blender. Tada!! You get Punto Omega. I find it to be pretty cool. I don't think it's the most brilliant band in the scene, but I can't say anything bad about them either.

Absolutely Brilliant.......2004-10-13

This CD sounds like a side project between VNV Nation and Hocico. Voxed, heavy and hard, yet melodic, dramatic and so deliciously pretentious that I cannot describe the absolute eargasm that this CD gives me.

Full of strings, orchestras, choirs, sweeping synths, arpeggiated bass, shredding guitars, staticky spanish vocals and a composition that would make Richard Wagner scream with pleasure, Punto Omega deliver an atomspheric delight. Any fan of VNV Nation or Hocico's more melodic songs (such as Forgotten Tears) will love this CD.

The first two tracks blend together so seamlessly, you have to play them both, and thay make you dance so hard. This is like Empires meets Signos de Aberracion. Buy it!
