El Silencio

For their third album, Mexico's biggest dark rock band hired Adrian Belew, the guitarist of King Crimson, to produce. The result, released in 1992, is where Saúl Hernández's mystical lyrics and Alejandro Marcovich's twisting guitar lines finally lock together. No Dejes Que..., the big single, is now treated as an anthem of Mexican rock. Fourteen tracks, nearly an hour, and almost nothing on it plays it safe.
