Heaven and Hell clash in a recording that could very well be one of the best Latin-Rock albums in Houston's music history.

Regarded in Houston as one of the most anticipated full-length albums by a local Latin Band. The third studio album by Mexican-American Latin Rock & Pop veteran Faustino "Tino" Ortega's "Everybody wants to go to heaven" marks his debut under the name of CHangoMan.
After almost three years in the making, long-awaited by fans of this show-stopping band and other local music aficionados, the record is finally here. Released under Indy label ACEtrax Music and featuring contributions by some of Houston's best musicians such as Bruce Jamison, José "Makiko" and Victor Luna (Passion D'Luna), William Cohn, Greg Haro, Evelyn Sarabia, Felipe Tristan, Miles Lott, Mark Ridell and Paul Beebe (Beetle/Thunderado), among others.

Leading man Tino Ortega manages to meet all expectations and truly delivers the goods. Co-produced by Tino Ortega and Paul Beebe, recording sessions for the album took place from 2007 to 2009 at The Beebe Gunn Studio and various other recording studios and the final mix was completed and mastered in late 2010 by DANGERman Aceves at ACEtrax audio-worx.

This album gathered some of Houston's most talented musicians, under Tino's direction, with the intention of creating a unique blend of styles and rhythms, with the promise to delight people of all backgrounds, creeds, religious beliefs and social standings with songs like "The Devil's Cumbia", "Fucked Up", "Vuelve", "The Border Song" and even a catchy tune dedicated to one of Mexico's most popular foods, the "Tamales" ..."Everybody Wants to go to Heaven" speaks of love, hate, hope, fear, sin and redemption. And it symbolizes one man's search for inner-peace and enlightenment, through music.

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.
