Produced by Tweety Gonzalez and released on 1992, 'El amor despues del amor' is still an ageless classic. I remember listening to this album on cassette on my old walkman and remember liking every single song in it. This is without a doubt, Fito's more ambitious work until the recently released No Se Si Es Baires o Madrid. The album includes great collaborations before doing that was even a trend as it has become in recent years, it was not about selling discs to different fan bases, but to get together a group of great musicians to do a memorable album.

The album opens with the incredible hymn about love, 'El amor despues del amor' with chorus by Claudia Puyo, the song remains as one of his greatest hits until today. The next track is 'Dos dias en la vida', which features the collaboration of Celeste Carballo and Fabiana Cantilo, typical Paez lyrics retelling the story of Thelma & Louise. In 'Petalo de sal', a beautiful ballad, Fito is accompanied by none other than Luis Alberto Spinetta, the part of the song he sings is simply beautiful, great music and great lyrics on this one. 'Un vestido y un amor' was also featured for the first time in this album, another classic that has been covered by many artists from Andres Calamaro to Caetano Veloso (an artist Fito has always expressed admiration for)

'Tumbas de la gloria', the fist single I heard from this album and the one that got me into getting the cassette back in 92 is another highlight in the disc, pay attention to the end of the song, what seems to be Fito mumbling strange words is actually his voice recorded backwards listing deceased artists. 'La rueda magica', in my opinion, next to 'Petalo de sal' the most memorable piece of the album, an incredible rock and roll piece enjoyable for its lyrics and collaborations of Andres Calamaro and Charly Garcia singing with Fito, a moment that has never occurred since then. 'Detras del muro de los lamentos', a powerful song is performed with the recently deceased Mercedes Sosa, the music and the lyrics, as well as the performers are just impeccable on this one. 'Brillante sobre el mic' is another piece that until today, is usually included in Fito's concerts. The perfect way to close a perfect album comes with 'A rodar mi vida', with guitars by Ariel Rot (Tequila, los Rodriguez), an awesome piece of rock with clear Beatle influences

The CD unfortunately does not include the booklet with lyrics and notes as the cassette did, even the dedication to Cecilia Rot is missing from the CD booklet. Other than that, and considering this is about the music, a perfect album way ahead of its times, Paez has released many albums since then, and while all of them have been great, 'El amor despues del amor' remains as my favorite in his whole discography. This is an album you have to have if you are a music lover.
