El Secreto Está en la Miel shows the most ambient side of A Full Cosmic Sound's sound (pun intended), as evidenced since the start with "Traición 73", the A side of this 7", which although is in line with what the band has showed in, for example, its eponymous debut, has a less electronic, more volatile vocation than that album. On the other hand, "El Secreto Está en la Miel", the B side that gives the single its title, is a point-blank drone/ambient experimentation, with an even more ethereal version of the song than the one contained in one of the splits of AFCS with The Mugris. Perhaps, in this sense, the single suffers of something evident: being too short. Ambient takes a little time to develop, and therefore this possibly isn't the most appropiate format for A Full Cosmic Sound's material. But beyond that, El Secreto Está en la Miel constitutes another excellent release by the Chilean collective. —IMF

A Full Cosmic Sound's first album constitutes an experimental ritual that sounds, at the same time, ethereal, cryptic and hypnotic. It is difficult to classify in specific genres, but I think that's precisely the idea.
The band fuses its influences in a sort of space-drone rock that in its simple development introduces a subtle, but honest and emotive melodic sensitivity. Although the music here is strongly based on electronic instruments (including, for example, the percussions), AFCS' eponymous debut sounds organic and humane, and in just five tracks shows the creative potential that the band showed since its beginning. —IMF
