About
Eng
Who would have thought that this little hippie folk album would make such a big impact in Argentine music and lead to much better things? This album was written by a duo of youngsters, Nito Mestre and Charly Garcia, who grew rapidly into a top notch songwriter. Vida was a big hit in Argentina, carrying a group of easy and charming fireside tunes with a great sense of melody. The best example is what may actually be Charly Garcia’s most recognizable composition: Cancion Para mi Muerte, which not only has extremely memorable melodies and charming guitar/piano interplay but it also fools the listener into thinking that it is a song sung to a girlfriend. It isn’t, it is actually sung to death itself. Surprising, isn’t it? And this is just a shadow the much better lyrical writing of the next albums and especially Seru Giran’s lyrics which border on genius.
While that is in my opinion the best song from this album, it does not mean that the rest is disappointing. There are in my opinion three other highlights and the rest mostly works as simple, charming music. Dime Quien me lo Robo, which is the longest song in the album is a mostly acoustic tune like most are, but has a somewhat story-telling structure and eventually leads to a fiery (for them) electric guitar section. Cuando Comenzamos a Nacer is a beautiful flute-driven folk tune which might not be immediate due to its simplicity but grows on you and Prosludio is a short instrumental with flute and piano interplay which is very effective and charming, a great way to close the album.
The only song that really doesn’t work for me is Toma Dos Blues, a surprisingly weak blues number with no interesting solos to redeem it. I guess I could include Mariel y el Capitan’s major->minor->major transitions which sound a bit silly and forced.
Nevertheless, this is an important album which while dated, still brings a pleasure to my ears.

Sui generis (суи генерис; (лат.) букв. своеобразный, единственный в своём роде)
В первой половине 1973 года наибольшей популярностью у молодежи Аргентины пользовался альбом
группы Sui Generis "Vida".
Группу основали Charly Garcia и Nito Mestre в 1969 году на
обломках двух коллективов To Walk Spanish и The Century Indignation. Из первого коллектива пришёл Carlos Alberto "Charly" Garcia Moreno, из второго Carlos Alberto "Nito" Mestre.
Sui Generis была одной из важнейших групп на аргентинской рок-сцене, которая была популярна в первой половине 70-ых годов.
Выпустив в мир три студийных лонг плея , один живой, один фильм группа распалась , но послужила основанием для двух других групп Seru Giran и La Maquina De Hacer Pajaros.
Группу реанимировали в середине 90х в изменённом составе , даже выпустили пару концертников и студийную пластинку.
Они любимы, уважаемы и популярны и сегодня.

About
A clear improvement over the debut in all levels: songwriting, performance, lyrics, depth, emotion. The album is a bit more mature, though it doesn’t totally leave behind the cheery naive sound of the debut behind, as you can clearly hear on the catchy piano track “Bienvenidos al Tren”.
“Cuando Yo me Comienze a Quedar Solo” starts with a somber piano while it has more uptempo choruses. This is as good (if not better) as the non-opener highlights from “Vida”.
“Un Hada, Un Cisne” is one of the highlights and borders on genius. It is a folk-jazz tune which has a fantastic fast-paced instrumental part while the vocal sections may be even better, being probably my favorite harmony-vocal work in all Sui Generis.
“Confesiones de Invierno” is a neat acoustic ballad. I personally enjoy it due to the vocal melodies but I can imagine some proggers might find it too simple. “Aprendizaje” is similar but has a bit more of instrumentation and better vocal performance, a highlight for me.
“Rasguna las Piedras” is where the album sounds the most like the debut. Musically it sounds catchy and a bit naive (the small orchestra is used for simple riffs and melodies). This might be the band’s 2nd best-known track and it’s pretty good.
“Mr Jones” is a satire on American lifestyle and apparently homicidal tendencies. The intro is funny (I was wondering what that English part said when I didn’t know English) but the song is kinda dumb lyrically and musically. Just a satirical rock&roll filler.
“Tribulaciones .” is the last highlight of the album and might be the only hint of the band’s unexpected turn to political symphonic prog in the next album. It is a very mellow and symphonic ballad in which the lamenting vocals and lonely piano take the spotlight. I absolutely love it when the band goes into dramatic vocal harmonies at minute three and at the end of the song. The climax is hauntingly powerful tho underdeveloped. Nevertheless, the only prog-related song in the album is a winner and the lyrics are amazing.
If you want to hear the non-prog side of Sui Generis, this is the album to go. Recommended, especially if you understand Spanish.
