Hello progheads!

this is my firts post on the archives, but I've been reading that site for 4 years or so jeje

Erik and all the progriss people around, look at this page http://www.dlsi.ua.es/~inesta/Prog/index-e.html

It's a fantastic web of all types of spaniosh prog rock, and with "tons" (not millions but a hundred) on bands and soloist.
There are both spanish and english version so... no problem for you, because i'm spanish, form bilbao, so please listen to basque prog  jeje

I voted for crack, which is the best spanish symphonic ever! at least for me
But also like: bloque "hombre, tierra y alma" and "el hijo del alba", los canarios "ciclos" (masterpiece), granada (the three albums), gotic "escenes" and many more.

You should try Ibio "cuevas de altamira" a band form the cantabric region (from santander). Their music is folk with very good symphonic elements. The best song is the firts with a glorious mellotron sound at the begining, tremendous singing (very lyric) and outstanding guitar solo in the middle and end part, just brilliant!
The res of the songs are good too, with lost of keyboards, but more folk orientated.

And of course "El patio" and "recuerdos de mi tierra" are both masterpieces.

try also Gualberto and eduardo bort, his firts album of 1975

And los brincos "Mundo, demonio y carne". Los brincos were a famous pop grupo of the mid and late 60s here in spain. In 1970 they record "mundo, demonio y carne" which is the only album that can interest prog minds

Modulos "plenitud" 1972 is and excellent symph prog rock, stunning

And that's all folks ejjeje

greetings

Hey there Erik,

Here's a few others;

Eduardo Bort;released a self titled lp in 75(?).Guitarist singer songwriter.Sings in English,symphonic prog,very english sounding.Probably the least Spanish sounding of the bunch.Quite accesible but not commercial.

Goma ''14 Abril'';Jazzy prog with sax,Canterbury flavored.A few bits of weirdness.Very good,ike so many from that country.

I only got three albums, guess where they came from, Erik  . My top 3 thus far

  1. Triana - Se De Un Lugar
  2. Crack - Si Todo Hiciera Crack
  3. Rock Andalus (compilation)

All three top notch!

Well, Fusioon is embraced in this topic, Aprusso  ! I prefer their third album although the final track is a bit too weird for me.

I voted "Other". You can't forget FUSIOON (2nd and 3rd album are masterpieces) or GOTIC "Escenes". Among andalusian, consider GUADALQUIVIR, IMAN and GRANADA.

I have seen a DVD from Ojos De Brujo, very special music, an often exciting blend of several styles but not really my cup of tea, too varied. Nonetheless, adventurous sound!

Thanks for your reactions, fellow aficionados, good to notice that the Spanish prog is appreciated on this site  !

Seem to been this way before and again I would throw a 'Spaniard In Works' (to quote John Lennon) or more: Ojos De Brujo - who are up yet again for the  BBC World Music Prize. They progress.

I voted for TRIANA,

but MEZQUITA, AZAHAR "Azahar", ITOIZ "Itoiz" and "Ezekiel" are excellent too.

I never heard LOS CANARIOS and CRACK, so I can't rate them (reports say their albums are great). Anyway, unique Spanish rock deserves prog fans' attention.

I intend to buy a 2-CD set featuring the first two albums by Neuronium, including Quasar 2C361. I won his CD New Digital Dream, a wonderful electronic prog album. Last year I bought a CD that features the Reviuvre album and (new) live footage with his reunion band, great!

I voted for Atila, but Gualberto's Vericuetos(prog
fusion) and Neuronium Quasar 2C361(electronic
prog) are fascinating albums. I think Mezquita's and
Triana's are the best in their native language.

Late 70's Spain was the only symphonic prog scene
that mattered in europe. OLE and TOUCHE!

I'd go for either MAZQUITA'S "Recuerdos de Mi Tierra" or CAI's "Noche Abierta" - both albums recapture the harsh passion of Flamenco and combine it fluidly with the melodic delicacy of symphonic progressive. Cai had a slightly jazzier feel to their Flamenco prog, while Mezquita was a bit rockier, definitely.
