We will not go back 20 years ago, when Ivan began his career with the Pirates for over the years become a figure respected and admired by many colleagues and legions of followers.
Let's go back only a few months ago ...
There came a time when all parties to work with Ivan (management company) will consider doing a review of his career, live and some guests.
After a few approaches to the idea, finally began to take shape as soon as talk of possible songs, sound and Suso Saiz as producer of the work.
In the months before the recording began working in metal arrangements.
Ivan wanted to on your hard metal had a trio of "real" because at times in his career had imagined several songs with this sound.
Suso began working with Ricky Falkner in the arrangements, by multiplying the functions of the latter in the project, as Ricky would also be responsible for the low and musical director of the disc with Suso.
On June 20, arrived at Barajas members of the band, Amaro Ferreiro, Pablo Novoa, the new drummer Gael Pintos, and Ivan.
And direct Barajas to be tested in a study on the outskirts of Madrid, La Cabaña, where they met Ricky Falkner, Suso Saiz and Emilio.
They rode across the backline, flooding the studio cables, amps, keyboards ... and started the countdown.
The recording date started approaching between warm days of work in the early morning hours were devoted to preparing the basis of the subject to be tested.
At noon appeared the rest of the group to work on a foundation which each contributed his part, always well managed by Suso.
So one by one, until you reach fourteen songs.
In the last days of rehearsal the band joined the band three components soul No Reply (Mark, Franky and Alex) with trombone, saxophone and trumpet, to materialize prior arrangements written by Ricky and Suso.
Everything was going smoothly.
On July 1 the entire team went to the studio set CATA, along with the set constructed by NYSU Films so well looked around the set, simulating a room that magically, acted as a component for recording and film, emphasizing the everyday mysteries of songs born Ivan, welcoming players who are incorporated as an element to the staging and guests staying at luxury.
But before you download the entire street filled with cars and Civil Guard officers.
Yes, it was the famous day of registration at the headquarters of SGAE.
And the set was his property ... After hours of uncertainty and can not leave or enter the building, everything returned to normal and began assembling the staging, backline, lighting ...
After a long soundcheck, it was expected that day rehearsing the repertoire, but a failure in the wireless system monitoraje made us leave the study earlier than planned.
At nine o'clock the next day was fixed and was able to test without difficulty.
Everything sounded good, the atmosphere was very upbeat.
The afternoon was set aside to record some items to be included in the accompanying bonus EP disc in the DVD extras as an ever-acoustic format, with minimal instrumentation and the sole support of Emile Amaro and Ruben further collaboration Well in "SPNB."
In less than three hours were recorded six songs, some in a single shot, and now you can enjoy an intimate appendix.
The naked beauty muse rewrote each of the songs were played that afternoon, making 'Paradise Lost' almost a prayer and "Inert" a solemn hymn to loneliness.
Furthermore, the same day released "Song of Love and Death", a song composed expressly for the film REC 3 and, without doubt, one of the most beautiful I have ever signed Ivan, and that's saying something ...
The next day, again with the whole band, began recording the complete repertoire.
Everything worked, was looking forward, the band sounded great, repeating each song a few times and went to the next, spontaneity was a friend who would make the box in your hands something even more special.
With that claimed to have multiple takes of each song and video making would benefit from more planes if it was a unique concert.
At noon came two guest stars, Santi Balmes (Love of Lesbian) and Xoel Lopez (Deluxe), who participated in "Balance is impossible" and "Turnedo" respectively.
Great artists who spared no effort or art or.
Of both are on.
D-Day, attended by an invited audience, was tackled with ease, in the days before had come up with good performances from every song and every indication that the recording could only get better.
The audience was composed of guests of the band and the lucky ones who were nimble with a twitter of Ivan and won the support of this recording.
Public came from Vigo, Baleares, Murcia ...
That Monday July 4, at seven o'clock, appeared on stage musicians who gave us the best of themselves, and without holding anything for them.
All the energy we had left there.
From the initial "My fury paranoid" until closing with "My Coco", everything went off without a hitch.
Ivan and his band managed to create a lovely black hole in your musical universe, a vortex that drew equally solo songs of his time in Pirates to beat them and return them to the public with new arrangements and a sound so homogeneous that makes this recording a disk with its own identity.
Warmth and sensitivity, anger and emotion, but mostly instrumental richness.
Restructuring respectful of classics like "80" and "worthless promises" backbone of the recording along with other creative cúlmenes Ivan's career as one single was "Extreme poverty" or songs like "NYC".
Gift, a premiere wood more classic: "My Munchausen".
The repertoire, as bold as wise, could not be more successful.
At the end of the day good faces, great sound, great recording sensations.
He had done a great job, everyone who worked on the project, both musically and in the video, production, backline, etc..
added their energy to come out all right.
And so it is very easy to do well.
We hope you like what's inside the box
