I think it would be good if our musical journey now went to Spain which has indeed been among my favourite Prog countries. 

Something specific about Spanish Prog is that due to the Franco regime (which ended in 1975), it first really began to evolve 

in the second half of the 70's.


 Atila  -  Reviure  (1978)

 Cai  -  Mas Alla De Nuestras Mentes Diminutas   (1979)

 Canarios  -  Cycles   (1974)

 Crack  -  Si Todo Hiciera Crack  (1979)

 Gotic  -  Escenes   (1978)

 Iceberg  -  Coses Nostres   (1976)

 Iman, Califato Independiente  -  Iman, Califato Independiente  (1978)

 Lisker  -  Lisker   (1979)

 Triana  -  Triana  (El Patio)  (1975)

 Haizea  -  Hontz Gaua   (1979)


 Additional

 Amarok  -  Sol De Medianoche  (2007)

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Well, as I like four out of the five artists in your list, I had better check out the remaining one that I’ve not yet heard.

It has to be said that whatever Ángel Ontalva puts his name to, it will in all likelihood be very good! I left Seaorm off my list, it occurs to me, and I am definitely looking forward to their second album!

It's fine, Mirakaze, we surely have all different interests, and Escenes is widely considered as one of the Spanish greatest masterpieces.

And there’s another I missed from my list, and that’s disturbing because this is an absolutely fantastic album. It was meant to be the first in a series of releases that continue the story, but I’ve not known of any follow-up, which is a great shame. It looks as if my review remains the only one on PA, which is also a shame, as it does imply that this album is nowhere near as well known as it deserves to be!


The album is Name Your Price on Bandcamp, so please do check it out!
