The band took a more experimental direction and the record wasn't very well-received, though it gained more appreciation from fans as time has passed since its initial release.

Revival and break-up (1978–1981)

After the ''Ciegos de Siglos Tour'', in late 1977, Fernández and Díaz left the band due to CBS's decision to finish contractual bonds with the group. In early 1978, Ricardo Soulé returned to the band, and with his bandmates, appeared at the Teatro Estrellas (Buenos Aires) with several shows where they received positive reviews from the press. In October, Vox Dei signed to
