released October 31, 2007

The first song 'Circulo de Sueños' on the debut is an instrumental colossus in five acts stretching just over 17 minutes , which trickles of wellness and acid drenched soundscapes that makes you wanna load your bong more than once. 'Circulo de Sueños' is packed with mysterious sounds, mixed with heavy doomy guitars and will probably interest both doomsters and psyche-freaks.

Third track 'Polaris' the bells of doom are ringing loud and these Peruvian chiefs clearly show how to run the show. This nugget is absolutely my favourite on the disc and is some kind of a hybrid between Tony Iommi's delicate guitar fingers and Ozzy Osbourne's drug habits in 1972. 'Polaris' makes anyone who's into this kind of music to skip barefoot over hot coal and shortly thereafter transform into a marble and to be thrown repeatedly against the wall ,just to be allowed to hear the song once again! These gems are neatly arranged with hard-hitting riffs, great vocals and a huge portion of doom rock á la 1972 which reminds me of both Pentagram and Black Sabbath.

Tobias Beament - Planet Fuzz

El sonido de esta banda es tan natural que parece provenir del vientre materno. Don Juan Matus es ahora un quinteto (la banda grabo este disco como trio) de hard rock con tendencias sicodélicas y una fascinación a irse por las tangentes. Esta placa es de alta calidad, no solo por la consistencia de los temas sino por la excelente secuencia con la que se desarrolla el disco. Esta invoca una suerte de ‘viaje astral’ por los huequereques mas reconditos de nuestras mentes. El disco se desenvuelve poco a poco; partiendo con un instrumental de 17 minutos que esta comprendido por cinco partes y moviéndose sutilmente por pasajes acústicos (“Matorral”) y distorsiones blues heavy en una vena plenamente Sabbathica. El tema “Polaris” es un ejemplo concreto, es metal setentero muy tacito pero apimentado con voces y lo que parecen ser samples de películas. Existe una influencia medieval Europea que trastoca la segunda mitad del disco. El uso de la flauta y las guitarras clásicas le da a Don Juan Matus un toque algo folk. Yo no le entro mucho a esta onda, pero ignorando estas ideas, nos quedamos con un disco solido y de ideas bastante maduras.

Ignacio Brown - Discos Inauditos

En conclusión, este álbum es un todo, no se puede comprender como canciones, es un viaje de principio a fin, lleno de originalidad, mucho peso y doom sicodélico hasta decir basta.

Sebastián Bruna - Slowburn

Almas cavernarias
Rock pesado. Stoner rock. Palabras claves que sitúan a Don Juan Matus entre los discípulos sabáticos o en la tradición Blue Cheer, lo que queda plasmado desde el primer segundo de audición de su placa homónima: guitarras graves y distorsionadas que revientan en golpes sincronizados con el bajo y la batería, y que inician "Círculo de Sueños", una especie de suite fantasmagórica de 17 minutos, dividida en 5 partes. Los 6 temas restantes se mueven en la penumbra, a veces en la soledad de una guitarra acústica ("Matorral"), otras en necrománticas pesquisas por el bajo mundo ("Polaris"), o en la disonancia retorcida de "Superzarza". Ojo con los invitados: Saúl Cornejo, Félix Varvarande, Javier Mosquera, Alex Rojas, entre otros. ¡Escúchelo en la oscuridad!

Rafael Valdizán - El Comercio

Worth it alone for "into the deepest space" which is an epic 18 progressive monster, each song builds and builds with subtle parts and heavier moments - really like this. thehairybadger26

This album is utterly and completely fantastic. Just mind-blowing heavy psych. A shame that this band folded after this album, because it’s just so, so good. Yet another Ripple release that gets played regularly. Kirk Gauthier
