The bass and drums were played by two former Pappo's Blues members Hector Lorenzo (drums) and Carlos Rufino (bass.) During the beginning of the bands playing the music was more straightforward rock with influences of Hendrix and Zeppelin and touches of a Black Sabbath sound. Their first, self-titled album, reflected their influences and was very complex, especially for a three man rock group. Long songs, with surrealistic lyrics and a unique sound throughout the six tracks. This album is a top quality piece, of great beauty and suprisingly acute craftmanship.

Their next album "Durazno Sangrando" ("Bleeding Peach") was their debut on a major label and an all out progressive album. Spinetta's lyrics were very well written. The story to "Durazno Sangrando" was based on a book by Carl Jung. "Durazno Sangrando" is their most progressive album and is generally noted as the bands best material. In 1975, virtuoso guitarist Tommy Gubitsch joined the group. Their third and final album "El Jardín de los Presentes" ("The Garden of the Present") turned out to be their most popular. This album has a lot of Tango influence and also some sounds that would remind us of early King Crimson. After the success of "El Jardín de los Presentes" the band split up at the end of 1976. Spinetta pursued a jazz-fusion esque solo career after the breakup.

Invisible was a bigger band in the Argentine prog scene and is definitely worth a good listen. If you are interested at all in Argentine prog they are essential. Their middle album "Durazno Sangrando" is their best and most interesting though "El Jardín de los Presentes" is also worth a good listen (mainly for it's fusion of rock, prog, and tango influence.)

Invisible Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Curvas del aire son
Puertas del blanco barco lento de las horas
(Desvelo)

Hijos amigos muerdan aquellas hojas de sus
Pies y elementales (Leches)

Lo que está y no se usa, nos fulminará

Lo que está y no se usa, nos fulminará

Siempre despacio
Sueñan las humaredas que descansan en la luna
(Calma)

Hijos amigos, vengan
Suyo es el fruto que olvidaron en el árbol
(Miedo)

Lo que está y no se usa, nos fulminará
Lo que está y no se usa, nos fulminará

La totalidad de tu cuerpo
Eterno no es maligna
La semilla crece donde el sol la deposita
Y ven los vientos en retorno
Son sangres marginales y cuerpos en colores

Hijos amigos, vengan
Suyo es el fruto que olvidaron en el árbol
(Miedo)

Hijos amigos muerden aquellas hojas de sus
Pies y elementales (Leches)

Lo que está y no se usa, nos fulminará
Lo que está y no se usa, nos fulminará

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Elementales Leches" by Invisible can be interpreted in a few different ways, but the consistent theme seems to be one of warning about the consequences of neglecting or forgetting what is important in life. The opening lines describe the curves of the air as the doors of a slow white ship that is passing through time, possibly evoking a sense of the fleeting nature of existence. The word "desvelo" means "wakefulness" or "sleeplessness", suggesting that the singer is aware of the passing of time and the need to take action before it's too late.

The second stanza similarly warns of the danger of neglect, with the phrase "lo que está y no se usa" (what is there and not used) serving as a kind of refrain throughout the song. The idea seems to be that there are things within our grasp that we are not taking advantage of, and that this inaction will ultimately lead to our downfall.

Throughout the rest of the song, the tone becomes more urgent and frenzied, with the repeated exhortation to "come" and claim what is rightfully ours. The imagery of "muerden aquellas hojas de sus pies y elementales (leches)" (biting the leaves of their feet and elemental milks) is somewhat surreal and difficult to interpret directly, but it seems to suggest a sense of desperation or hunger for something essential that has been overlooked.

Overall, the lyrics of "Elementales Leches" are somewhat cryptic and open to interpretation, but they seem to convey a sense of urgency and warning about the dangers of neglecting what is important in life.

Curvas del aire
Son, puertas del blanco barco lento de las horas
Desvelo
Hijos amigos
Muerden aquellas hojas de sus pies y elementales
Leches
