When FERNANDO CORONA released 'Martes', his first album as Murcof, back in 2002, it was a bolt from the blue: a work of such clarity and strength of character that it became an instant genre classic. Currently putting the finishing touches to the second Murcof album, 'Utopia' is more a companion piece to 'Martes' than a prelude to the new album; 'Utopia' distils the essence of the first album into sinuous new forms.
