Post Description

Studio Album, released in 1981, Spain.

Derde album van deze Symphonic Prog band.
Prog Andaluz.

Zeker niet zo sterk als hun eerdere albums; soms wat commercieel en niet direct prog.
Voor de volledigheid.

I?m not sure these guys really qualify as progressive folk. At least this album doesn?t as far as my ears are concerned. I?d like to get my hands on one of their first two albums sometime to make a comparison, because I?ve read good things about them. But this third release from the band reflects very heavily the age in which it was released; namely, the early eighties. The fact is I found this among a stack of my brother-in-law?s albums which included the late Rocío Dúrcal (and Juan Gabriel of course), Enrique Guzmán, Vikki Carr, and a bunch of Baja California mariachi bands I?ve never heard of. So I expected something at least mildly commercial, probably ethnically dated and conservative, and folkish.
