Have
you ever wondered what King Crimson or Emerson, Lake & Palmer would
have sounded like, had they originated from behind the Iron Curtain?
This may sound like the usual hype promoters write to draw attention,
but click on the audio files from this album’s track-list and listen
closely. “Amintiri din viitor” [Memories from the Future] will take you
back to a time when progressive music was truly forward looking,
experimental, and original. The band Experimental Q was formed in the
early 1970s, by a group of music students from the Gheorghe Dima
Conservatory, in Cluj (Romania). Eugen Tunaru (keyboards), Valentin
Farcaș (guitar), Nicolae Bucaciuc (bass), and Nicolae Delioran (drums)
were joined by Gheorghe Marcovici (flute), and this line-up recorded a
series of songs and compositions for radio and TV, without ever
releasing any album on Electrecord, the sole record company in Romania
at that time.
Their music was mostly instrumental and featured titles that touched
upon intergalactic, or art themes. The band members may have been music
students, but while their education was classical, their inspiration
drew from pop music’s avantgarde. Prog and jazz-rock fans might find
influences and echoes of bands that were carving out new paths in the
unexplored music jungle of the late 1960s and early 1970s: King Crimson,
The Nice, Jethro Tull, ELP, VDGG. After a few listens, however, it will
dawn upon the listener that this music was more than just an East
European response to the Western hype of the day. Facing the prejudice
of their professors, the skepticism of some of their peers, as well as
the numerous material drawbacks and technological limitations,
Experimental Q improvised not only musically. In the end, they made
their own instruments and adapted what they could get their hands on, to
create some of the most intriguing music made on the Eastern side of
the Iron Curtain.
“Amintiri din viitor” opens the first chapter in this still untold
story of one of Romania’s best hidden music secrets. With the approval
of and collaboration from the remaining band members, this project
features restored and remastered audio, original artwork, as well as an
in-depth essay about the band and its musical output in the socialist
historical context, with exclusive photos and memorabilia.
This project is curated by Claudiu Oancea (artwork, liner notes),
Adrian Matala (co-producer) and Remus Miron (restored, remastered audio
and producer).

Bonus info in romanian language :
''Oare câți fani din România ai rock-ului altfel, progresiv și aventuros știu că a existat în țara lor acum aproape o jumătate de veac o trupă, care a defrișat poteci în jungla de sunete cu o dexteritate și imaginație comparabile cu ale unor trupe precum King Crimson, The Nice, Genesis, sau Mahavishnu Orchestra?
Formată la începutul anilor 1970 de un grup de studenți la Conservatorul de Muzică din Cluj, Experimental Q a incitat și șocat pe toți cei îndeajuns de norocoși să le asculte înregistrările făcute pentru radio și TV în cursul deceniului al optulea. Ca multe alte trupe de atunci, experimentalii clujeni au fost mai degrabă ignorați de singura casă de discuri românească a epocii, înregistrând oficial doar o piesă apărută pe o compilație. În arhive au rămas îngropate câteva înregistrări monumentale, prea grele pentru lejeritatea cu care erau tratate trupele rock și jazz în regimul de atunci (și nu numai). Eugen Tunaru (claviaturi), Valentin Farcaș (chitară), Nicolae Bucaciuc (bas), Nicolae Deliorean (tobe) și Gheorghe Marcovici (flaut) au înregistrat o serie de compoziții complexe, bogate în schimbări de ritm și teme muzicale, în care virtuozitatea instrumentală contura spații intergalactice enigmatice și atlantide de mult pierdute și mult visate.
A sosit momentul ca stratul de praf, nepăsare și uitare așternut peste aceste înregistrări să fie dat la o parte, iar Experimental Q să capete măcar o parte din atenția care i s-ar fi cuvenit încă de acum 45 de ani. Colecționarul Remus Miron și istoricul Claudiu Oancea au inițiat un proiect de crowdfunding pe platforma Diggers Factory (accesibil la următorul link: http://www.diggersfactory.com/vinyl/241943/experimental-q-amintiri-despre-viitor%29" rel="nofollow - https://www.diggersfactory.com/vinyl/241943/experimental-q-amintiri-despre-viitor) pentru a edita pentru prima oară pe vinil o muzică aparte, într-un format pe măsură. Având aprobarea și colaborarea muzicienilor, albumul „Amintiri despre viitor”, ce poartă titlul uneia dintre compozițiile Experimental Q, va conține în premieră o serie de înregistrări provenind din arhivele radio, restaurate și remasterizate, precum și grafică gatefold, poze din colecțiile personale ale formației și un eseu istoric.
După atâtea reeditări și remasterizări, credeați că le-ați ascultat pe toate? Think again!''

''Vous êtes-vous déjà demandé comment auraient sonné King Crimson ou Emerson, Lake & Palmer, s'ils venaient de derrière le Rideau de Fer? Cela peut ressembler à ce que les promoteurs habituels écrivent pour attirer l'attention, mais cliquez sur les fichiers audio de la liste des chansons de cet album et écoutez attentivement. Amintiri din viitor [Mémoires du futur] vous ramènera à une époque où la musique progressive était vraiment tournée vers l'avenir, expérimentale et originale. Le groupe Experimental Q a été formé au début des années 1970, par un groupe d'étudiants en musique du Conservatoire Gheorghe Dima, à Cluj (Roumanie). Eugen Tunaru (claviers), Valentin Farcaș (guitare), Nicolae Bucaciuc (basse) et Nicolae Delioran (batterie) ont été rejoints par Gheorghe Marcovici (flûte), et ce line-up a enregistré une série de chansons et de compositions pour la radio et la télévision, sans jamais sortir d'album sur Electrecord, la seule maison de disques en Roumanie à l'époque. Leur musique était principalement instrumentale et comportait des titres qui touchaient à des thèmes intergalactiques ou artistiques. Les membres du groupe étaient des étudiants en musique, mais si leur éducation était classique, leur inspiration venait de l’avant-garde de la musique pop. Les fans de prog et de jazz-rock pourraient trouver des influences et des échos de groupes qui se frayaient de nouveaux chemins dans la jungle musicale inexplorée de la fin des années 1960 et du début des années 1970: King Crimson, The Nice, Jethro Tull, ELP, VDGG. Après quelques écoutes, cependant, l'auditeur se rendra compte que cette musique était plus qu'une simple réponse est-européenne au battage médiatique occidental du jour. Face aux préjugés de leurs professeurs, au scepticisme de certains de leurs pairs, ainsi qu'aux nombreux inconvénients matériels et limitations technologiques, Experimental Q ont improvisé au-delà des royaumes de la musique. En fin de compte, ils ont fabriqué leurs propres instruments et adapté ce qu'ils pouvaient mettre la main, pour créer certaines des musiques les plus intrigantes du côté est du Rideau de Fer. « Mémoires du futur » ouvre le premier chapitre de cette histoire encore inédite de l’un des meilleurs secrets cachés de la musique Roumaine. Avec l'approbation et la collaboration des membres restants du groupe, ce projet comprend des éléments audio restaurés et remastérisés, des illustrations originales, ainsi qu'un essai approfondi sur le groupe et sa production musicale dans le contexte historique socialiste, avec des photos et des souvenirs exclusifs. Ce projet est organisé par Claudiu Oancea (illustration, essai historique, coproducteur), Adrian Matala (coproducteur) et Remus Miron (audio restauré et remasterisé, producteur).''

The comments above should be listed under Romanian band "Experimental Q" and not under "Experimental" band from Chile.

that's just an algorithm doing that, it's not that somebody listed the band from Chile there. Because of common names and words in band names, those lists of topics in band profiles are often inaccurate.
