A traves de la Ventana from 1977 is a blend of Brand X and Mahavishnu, a great progressive jazz rock album, mostly instrumental and almost impossible to find, no CD available. Aditus 2 from 1979 is a very different work, more Latin jazz rock oriented at times like early Santana but with sax and keyboards instead, instrumental. No CD reedition.

Fuera de la Ley - 1981 , this is it! For fans of the first 3 works of Saga, blend it with the first Asia and this is what you get, obscure and totally ignored. The guitar player left Tempano and joined them, after this one the band went mainstream, in the mid 90's the guitar player left them and joined with the other 3 original members of Tempano and went back to their progressive roots. The singer (the guitar player) is phenomenal!! No CD reedition.

Bienvenidos al bazar
Por aquí podran pasar
Meta la mano y saque
Un poco de bienestar
Un gobierno tropical,
garantiza tu bienestar en este pais
en este pais, en este pais, en este pais
Basta con la intencion

Y ya esta participando
Aquí sobra para todos,
aunque digan que se esta acabando
Un gobierno tropical,
garantiza tu bienestar en este pais
en este pais, en este pais, en este pais
Hay cosas que nos dicen
Que nos cuesta entender
Con la expansion economica,
Lo que costaba diez ahora cuesta cien

Donde quiera se puede instalar
No hay ninguna restriccion
Y disfrute por television de la cultura popular

Un gobierno tropical,
garantiza tu bienestar en este pais
en este pais, en este pais, en este pais

Eso si, no deje su carro
Ni camine a la luz de la luna
Porque pueden infortunarlo
cazadores de fortuna

Un gobierno tropical,

garantiza tu bienestar en este pais
en este pais, en este pais, en este pais, en este pais

Overall Meaning

The song "En este país" by Aditus is a satirical commentary on the state of governance in a tropical country. The lyrics paint a picture of a place where the government promises the citizens "well-being" but in reality, it is a bazaar where one can buy it with just their participation. The government claims to take care of everyone's needs, but it hints at corruption and the existence of a black market. The line "Hay cosas que nos dicen que nos cuesta entender" (There are things they tell us that are hard to understand) is a nod to the fact that not everything the government says can be taken at face value.

The song emphasizes the importance of money and how it affects everything in the country's economy. The line "Con la expansion economica, lo que costaba diez ahora cuesta cien" (With economic expansion, what cost ten now costs one hundred) highlights the inflation that has been caused by the government's policies. The song suggests that society is becoming divided between the haves and the have-nots. The final stanza warns the listener to be careful if they are out at night, as there are 'fortune hunters' on the loose.

Overall, the song is an indictment of governments that promise to provide for their citizens while quietly taking advantage of them. It is also a reminder to people that they should be wary of those who promise to provide all their needs.
