Tabletom - Mezclalina (1980)

 
 
The debut album from this band from Spain.

The band was a sextet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, saxophone, violin, flute and vocals.

The band has released seven studio albums and I got all of them up for reviews this winter. I am as always starting with the debut album, this album.

The band is listed as a fusion/jazz band in ProgArchives and Discos.

That is to simplify this band and their debut album.

Take a big chunk of Spanish folk rock, add some hard rock, then add a lot of psych rock and then add fusion and jazz.  

The vocals are Spanish and the musicians are doing a good job. The saxophone is the most prominent solo instrument here. The violin, flutes and guitars are also adding a lot to the solos.

The band has managed to get a lot of diverse music into this thirty-eight minutes long album. A statement of intent, indeed.

The quality is somewhere between decent and good. It is a more than acceptable debut album and I am looking forward to reviewing their six other albums.

2.5 points
