Release Notes:
--------------
For a band who started off punk and always thrived on a spare, economical attack
that never came remotely close to self-indulgence, Seguridad Social sure went
overboard when they got the chance. En la Boca Del Volcn, recorded in Los Angeles 
with prominent session musicians and loaded with horns and backing vocals, sounds 
like a lifetime dream project that went awry. The songs are still concise but they 
veer every which way -- usually far away from the band's strengths. The ballad 
"Radiante Estrella" almost touches on MOR pop, while "Sigo Tu Luz" rocks with strident
soul horns and gospel backing singers; it sounds like one of those old embarrassing 
attempts by rockers to get down and funky. "Cancion de Lluvia" is a rainy-day acoustic 
song before horns, funky soul, and sweeping strings enter the mix, and "El Payaso" brings
in unnecessarily complex chord changes and Queen-style massed backing vocals.
Even Seguridad Social's bread-and-butter rockers sound more leaden than usual, and while 
the Jamaican-oriented material is generally OK, only the closing "Salta" really gets the 
equation right in melding ska with a full horn section and some ragga rapping. Maybe the 
departure of guitarist Alberto Tarn had something to do with the problems of En la Boca 
Del Volcn; Aristides Abreu is a capable replacement but he's not really integrated into 
the group yet -- and it shows. Maybe severing ties with K.C. Porter and producing themselves 
accounts for the bloated arrangements and unfocused grab bag of material, but Seguridad Social's
dream project turned out to be closer to a misguided, L.A.-bland nightmare.
