ARC-EN-CIEL

I'm not probably very objective here, since "Arc-en-ciel" is one of my earliest musical references (when I was a little kid, my brother used to play "El caminant nocturn" all the time), but I find this record to be one of the highest achievements in Spanish rock of all times, together with "Sentiments". It is hard to find a 7/4 track that feels as natural as said "El caminant nocturn". The drum solo in "Càntics de la carn" alone is worth the admission price; the powerful drum sets of the final '70s come through in a powerful samba-like unsung song. The remaining tracks ("Riu d'agost", "Embrujo" and "Crisàlide") complete an inspired trip through Catalan, Flamenco and Latin fusion.
