Ciegos de Siglos (Blind of Centuries) is the ninth album recorded by the Argentine rock band Vox Dei. The band found it hard to attain chart success with this LP and Vox Dei were later dropped by CBS in 1977.
Overview
When Carlos Michelini left the band in early 1976 to move to Spain, Vox Dei included two guitars again: Raúl Fernández and Enrique "Avellaneda" Díaz, both being previous members of La Máquina ("The Machine"). The sound became hard rock, which caused many negative observations and critiques from Pelo magazine. As with their previous album, the record was not promoted by their 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 license from Sony Music.
