Fundamental erupted at the outset of 1999 like some unknown yet violently wonderful Puerto Rican volcano, smothering traditional salsa breaks in a rolling river of thrash-metal magma. Their lyrics, often swaying between Spanish and Spanglish, display a broad-edged social awareness and maintain an abiding sense of righteousness. The title track is an intergenerational call for awakening one's higher human potential, hurtling along to the sound of funky horns, congas, and the metallic crunch of Ramon Ortiz's guitar riffage. Fundamental served to close the gap between suburban white skate punks and boricua rockeros, and no one interested in the alt-Latin canon should be without it.
