Translated from Spanish

Hand in hand with Global Music reaches us all a “guitar hero”, SENES, and not only because the term was coined to any musician usually attached to a guitar, but because SENES really knows how to play guitar and do both how innovation and quality, in fact this guitar has already won the contest “Superstar” for Guitar magazine Placer last year 2009. 

The first thing that stands out in this debut album is the huge amount of influences and details that populate it, as if nothing’s happening Heavy Jazz, Latin music or Country to Rock to Funk. 

The truth is that SENES plays the guitar well, and that is something that ultimately is not very difficult, but another thing is to compose a decent debut and even produce (including pasteurization and engineering), but it is clear that it has been able to do so. In fact, these various influences boast of a good composition that makes this a dynamic, entertaining and rich. A complicated case of a round instrumental addition, such releases are often at risk of being around a display of technique and an example of egocentrism abusing shreds and solos, but he can not say the same. Steve Senes boasts of his ability without being boring topics, but that blends great style of playing guitar (of different gender), which, far from being a rare copy, create their own identity. 

As if this were not enough, also has created with “De-Evolution and Theory” a nice compact, heavy items and something exotic like the first, “The Swami”, others may be encouraged how Greaseball “and the begins as a short sound and great solos where they live, “Ruth” (and that is that great songs in rock history have been women’s names by title). 

Nor should we forget the “Highball,” a fast and technical track and “Cop Show”, a title almost Funk. There is also room for purely rock songs how “Facecheck”, “High & Mighty” and “Colossus” or heavier “Jam Bomb.” Dyes are even more “tropical” how those in “Mare Tranquilitatis” with a huge demonstration and role of the six strings, or the more classic sound and taste stale “Angel”, very emotional indeed. 

No doubt this SENES “dE-evolution of theory” has made it clear that it is a great guitarist and composer … in short, an enormous work of debut. Now let’s hope Steve can keep evolving in their own style.
