The third album from this band from Spain.
The band is a trio with a lineup of drums, percussion, guitars, piano, organ, moog, mellotron and vocals.
A handful of guests added bass and vocals.
This band released their debut album Intencion in 1976 and the follow up album Reviure in 1978. Both re-released as a two-albums-on-one CD in 1999 and 2009. I reviewed both albums for ProgArchives in 2009 and liked them a lot.
The debut album was a symphonic prog album whilst the second album was more a space rock album. And that was the last tone I thought I would ever hear from this band.... But I got a big surprise when the band returned earlier this year with their new album.
The band is very much welcome back as their first two albums gave them a well deserved status as one of the best ever bands from Spain.
The music on their new fifty minutes long album is a mix of Latin rock, psych rock and a bit symphonic prog. There is even some space rock lurking around on this album too.
The good vocals is a mix of female and male vocals. They are all in their local language. The mix of guitars and tangents are good too.
The music is pretty unique and original. It is very much in the Spanish prog rock tradition and sound. References is.... the two first Atila albums.
The band are sticking to their guns, to their sound on this good album. An album which both are looking back on their two first albums and is carving out a new soundscape too.
The result is a good album which should interest everyone into the European progressive rock scene. This band should get a lot more attention.
