CHangoMan's MOSCAS Réquiem. More than a re-packaging of Moscas "Vertigo"

In 1997 the band MOSCAS recorded “Vértigo” one of the most significant and influential Spanish Rock albums of the early 90's in Houston, also symbolizing the end of “the golden era” of Houston’s Spanish Rock movement.

Headed by Faustino “TINO” Ortega, MOSCAS was part of the last generation of proficient “Rockeros” with mainstream appeal. In a time when “grunge” was the music of choice, MOSCAS defied the odds by choosing to make music in Spanish to a market full of English-speaking patrons and concert-goers, revolutionizing the scene with their unique poise and music influenced by artists such as The Beatles, Rush and Nirvana and music styles like punk, reggae, classic guitar and the ever-present funk, all with a taste of Rock en Español.

“Vértigo” was never released to the market. This limited-edition album gets the digital remastering treatment and is tagged with the title “moscas [RÉQUIEM]” to be released as part of CHangoMan's discography, paying tribute to Tino Ortega's opus. Some people will remember the hayday of the Rock En Español movement and a few lucky ones will even have a copy of Vértigo in their collection. But the recapitulation of this piece of music history is more than a marketing stunt or simple re-packing of the same thing. All tracks have been digitally cleaned to fix a few recording and mixing errors, taking great care not to remove the little nuances that make this live recording so great and sound was enhanced in re-mastering to bring out the brightness and punch they never had. The addition of the proprietary audio-processing technique developed by ACEtrax audio-worx coined as "Senzaphonic Sound" truly brings depth and aural spaciousness to the mix. Most people will definitely notice the difference between the old and the new, from the layout and design to the actual sound of the albums. But more importantly, we will all agree that this is one of those albums that are worthy of such special treatment.

The CD contains 9 tracks, from the original recording plus a new LIVE bonus track and it's available via mail-order from ACEtrax or for digital download on iTunes and all other digital media retailers. Finally available; the first chapter in TINO’s music anthology, to enjoy the way it was meant to be.
