Overview

When Carlos Michelini walked out in early 1976 to move to Spain, Vox Dei included two guitars again: Raúl Fernández and Enrique "Avellaneda" Díaz, both members of La Máquina ("The Machine"). The LP sound adapts the mid-1970s hard rock, which caused many negative observers and critics from Pelo magazine. As their previous album, did not count on with any promotion from the label. In some ways, Ciegos de Siglos had a fusion of the styles not utilized on their previous releases, yet the material also shows traces of jazz rock and soul, particularly on the tracks "Reflexión de dos por miles a medianoche" and "Solo hoy te pertenece, mañana es ilusión".

On 2 December 2016, Vox Dei played together with Javier Martinez's Manal at Teatro Gran Rex, and released that same night the Ciegos de Siglos remastered edition, which features one outtake from the original sessions. The remaster issue is published by La Rompe Records (Vox Dei label) under Sony Music license.
