"Coses Nostres" or "Sentiments" would make quite a great place to get started with Iceberg.

   Kind regards.

Thank you, I'll look for those.

To jero If you mean where can you buy (since you missed a word in your post) then might I suggest getting Canarios here:

Medina Azahara-En El-Hakim (contribution by new flamenco star Vicente Amigo)

Azahar-Azahar (lots of Morish climates)

Iceberg-Tutankhamon (symphonic, jazzrock and some Morish atmospheres)

Triana-El Patio + Hijos Del Agobio (the most compelling blend of symphonic and flamenco)

Saludos!



cool thanks Erik... I'll take at look at those, read some reviews and I still need to check out that website you mentioned.  Thanks for the info...

Ready for a new order...

What should be the next 3 to get

have..

Los Canarios - Ciclos
Mesquita - Recuerdos de mi Tierra
Atila - Reviure

I'd like some ideas more in line with Prog Andaluz rather than just Spanish symphonic rock if you know what I mean..

Hi, Micky

Two albums in your list are also on my next purchase list .

I do feel that I ahev gone a bit too much lately in cd buying..., It's an addistion, I see prog (and metal) cd's and I can't help it... Maybe I need a support group .

I have not yet heard Atila, but I will track them down and listen to it definitely after reading about them.

A good weekend to all.



I haven't blathered at the mouth with the Atila album like I have the Mezquita one but I  it is a great album.  Definitely recommend it.

  oh my.... just saw the Osanna CD/DVD.. and read your review of it... Osanna might take priority over Prog Andaluz... at least right now hahahhah.  The nail was seeing Gianni Leone from Ill Balletto di Bronzo was on it (YS is probably my favorite prog album outside of The Yes Album and ELP's debut)

Wonder if the DVD is compatible with U.S. players....

if you want to cut corners to the best you might want
to gave Gualberto's Vercuetos or Neuronium's
Quasar 2C361 a try. Gualberto gives you great avant
symphonics/fusion and throws in the sitar flamenco
style, totally unique to the spanish scene.
Neuronium's debut rivals the same period releases
from Klaus Schulze and Tangerine Dream, his
sound is unique and their are parts that appear to be
swipped by Froese and company just after Quasar
was released. Although they were based in Spain,
Michael Hyugen? is Belgian, making this also the
best 70's release by a native belgian.

Thanks for that, I saw another recommendation for them and I will track and listen to it.

Guitar player Santi Pico delivers great work on the early Neuronium albums and I still have to check out Gualberto, good recommendations DallasBryan, thanks!

By the way, don't forget the current Spanish progrock scene featuring interesting work from Unoma, Bijou, Dr. No, Zaguan and Senogul (see my reviews).

Discovering new bands and albums is a full time job.

Maybe I'll quit mine and start a new life as a vagabond roaming from town to town looking for the underground record shops looking for unknown priceless gems, earning money by working some time at these shops a short period.

I have a picture in my head (accompanied by a Spanish prog tune ) of me walking in a field with a hat and a straw in my mouth, towards the sunset, with a bag on my back and earphones in my ears.... OK enough nonsense and back to work.

Go ahead, Andrew, I have added Alameda to this site and looking forward to reviews  ! By the way, CBS has released their first four albums (79-83) on a nicely priced 2-CD set, highly recomended!

I have heard of some Spanish bands not mentioned here thus far (I think) and some are not in PA. Do you know them? (be careful, I'm gonna flood this thread now ). This list may also serve for those who really want to take a deep dive into the Spanish prog scene.

AKELARRE (not in PA),

ALQUILBENCIL,

ASFALTO (not in PA),

ASTURCON,

CAL,

CRACK (Erik added this),

ENBOR,

ERROBI  (not in PA),

 GRANADA (Erik's addition),

HAIZEA,

HARNAKIS,

IBIO,  

IMAN CALIFATO INDEPENDIENTE (Erik's addition)

ITOIZ  (Erik's addition)

ITZIAR

IZUKAITZ

KOTEBEL

LISKER

That's enough.

Oh, and there's this band, Triana...
