Tartessos - Tiempo Muerto (1975)

The one and only album from this band from Spain.

The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, keyboards, flute and vocals.

A guest helped out guitars and percussion one track.

This is a very obscure album which has been ignored by most progressive rock websites. Well, I think it is a progressive rock album.

Or to be more precise; a blend of art rock and progressive rock with some Spanish fusion also included.

Only one track out of eleven has some guitars. Keyboards, flutes and vocals is doing the main job in driving the melodies forwards.

The music is still dynamic and far from pedestrian and lifeless. This album is rocking and rattling along very nicely without guitars.

The vocals is mostly Spanish but there is also some English vocals here. The Spanish vocals is very nice. The English vocals is not particular good.

This forty-two minutes long album is quite a decent album and well worth checking out.
