This group had an important pre-dating history for the Peruvian psychedelic Rock scene. In 1966 Los Shain's were formed, with guitarist Enrique "Pico" Ego Aguirre. This group released three LP's in garage psych style. After some line-up changes in 1968 the group split. One part formed Los Nuevos Chain's, which recorded one cover album and some 45s, and another part The (St.Thomas) Pepper Smelter, which recorded one LP, another important Peruvian Rock album, and some 45s on the El Virrey label, before they broke up. Gerardo Manuel got a job at the label and formed his own band (influenced by Question Mark & The Mysterians, Grand Funk and Jimi Hendrix), with two ex-Los Shain's members : Enrique "Pico" Ego Aguirre on guitars (and organ) and Jorge "Coco" Pomar on bass mostly (and rhythm guitar) with Freddy "Puro" Fuentes on drums. Quickly after this Pico formed his own band Pax, a hard rock blues group which released one album. The group made a second album called “Machu Picchu 2000" (Polydor - 1971) and a third, ¿Quién es el Mayor? (1973). The strong opener, “Apocallypsis”, is a great 60’s psych track about the end of times, with its own drama, great electric guitars, and a smooth underlying drive, pushing towards some empowered rock riffs. Another track with strong elements is “Looking For Tomorrow” with its Black Sabbath-like bass, and guitar riffs that could lead to a more deliberate choice for hardrock. The song “Lonely Night” seems to be mixed with elements of Iron Butterfly’s “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vidda”. They also covered “Power of Soul” from Jimi Hendrix. On the more mellow side is “(I will bring you) flowers in the morning”, a song with additional organ and strings, Manuel sings more like David Bowie. This legendary South American psych-rock album is well worth discovering.
