Well, Anael, can you give a very short description from Monarch, this is the only Spanish progrock bands in this topic I have never heard of, I am curious!

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.

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

Hello The Rock.
I have listened to Eduardo Bort but I don't like his voice! Goma is a good band but I don't like Canterbury, it's often too complex for me!
Hello Pagasarri.
I hope you don't have a problem with Barcelona as the Spanish #1 football team?!
Do you know Itoiz, I love their eponymous debut CD, strange but wonderful language that Basque!
Hello Moogtron III.
A sheer perfect call, thanks!
By the way, I just received a Private Message with 'thank you' from the guitarist from the promising Spanish progrock band Senogul, they feel honoured and are so glad that I put them on the Prog Archives site, great to hear those things, Prog Archives is hot!

hello erik What dou you mean? really i don't understand it hahaha should I have a problem with barcelona FC? hahaha Of course i know itoiz first album, it's great! I purchased this christmas for only 8 €  Itoiz were a very popular band here in the basque country during the 70s and 80s, and still they are. However, like many other prog bands, they began to be more popular in the 80s when they left the prog style. In every music shop in the basque country you can find Itoiz music, for sure! hahaha Yes, "Transitos" is a very promising demo, very very good. I'm looking foward to their debut album.

They're from Venezuela: they play a beautiful hard-edged kind of neo-prog. But... the ycurrently tour in Europe, in Barcelona, mostly.

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

Despite their name, GRANADA was NOT an Andalusian band. GUADALQUIVIR & IMÁN were, and they were so great... the former were the masters of Flamenco jazz-fusion in their country during the late 70s, while the latter created, together with Triana, Cai and Mezquita, the most beautiful Flamenco-tinged symphonic prog. How is Andalausian prog nowadays? Well, its endurance lies in the hands of OMNI, a current instrumental band that recaptures much of that old-fashioned Flamenco prog and recycles it through an almost neo-prog filter (a la modern Camel). Regards.

Yeah, both of them. I wasn't that impressed by Unoma: their (or his, since it's a solo project) album was an OK neo-prog stuff. On the other hand, Bijou made a damn good record with "El Profeta", great instrumental neo-prog with slight touches of melodic hard rock and jazz-rock, resulting in an original music within the standards of neo.
Regards.

I have voted for basque folk Prog. Itois, Izikaitz Haizea and Errobi.
Recently I added Pan & Regaliz and Goma (sounds a bit like Crack) and I will add Maquina and maybe Tapiman (Iceberg's Max Sunyer first group).
Erik, would you consider Smash (Gualberto's first group) as a valid entry for the Archives?
From your list is missing Coto en Pell

Hello Sean. I am still waiting for a CD from Smash (La Vanguardia) in order to make a valid judgement because it was a very long time ago that I have heard Smash. But looking at the descriptions and reviews from Smash all over the world I sonsider them as a fine addition for this site (perhaps prog-related or prog-folk).
To me Coto En Pel is interesting prog with hints from King Crimson, a bit dark atmosphere.
By the way, good to notice all those reactions on Spanish prog, thanks!

Omni
Nice melodic new prog a la Camel.Soothing and relaxing.Great guitar solos.There`s a bit of percussions and some ethnic references,but overall quite conventional and nice.For those on the quieter side of prog.
The same comments could be applied to Kotebel,perhaps a little more dissonnent and dark,at times closer to King Crimson.

For me they are graeat. Very melodic and symphonic stuff. Love them! The best album is their last, although the rest are very good too. Great band

Next week I will receive an album from Zaguan, I am very curious to them and would like to add this Spanish progrock band to this site. Who has already heard something from them?
