From Gaia II: La voz dormida (2005). Gaia II: La voz dormida is the continuation of Gaia, a rock opera by the Spanish folk metal group Mägo de Oz, released on 14 November 2005 by Locomotive Music. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall JCM2000 DSL100, the rig we use for Mägo de Oz's other songs from Gaia II: La voz dormida, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the neck pickup. Standard tuning.
