Cat. no: PQR-018 Los
Elementales- Fuerzas Magicas De
La Naturaleza was
composed and originally released
in 1977, at
the apex of
Arco Iris’ prolific
musical career. A well-deserved successor
to Agitor Lucens,
it is their
most prog-oriented masterpiece,
a veritable distillation of years
of uniquely carved and meticulously executed psych/folk/jazz tunes that earned them their reputation among
Argentina’s cultural pantheon’s finest. If nature ever spoke genuinely to a band and shared
with them the alchemical secrets of the Druids, then that band must not have been
other than Arco Iris. Los Elementales is a mélange of prog wilderness,
domesticated through a mirror of production that reflects the indelible mark of
Ara Tokatlian’s conundrum of tenor sax, Andean woodwinds and moog, interspersed
with jazz-fusion, glimpses of latin-funk and randomly popping electronics. All
of the above, scaffolded on a conceptual platform that puts in motion, evokes
and seeks to simulate the intermingling of the elements of nature, by
punctuating them in contrapuntal moments. This
much sought after
by collectors album will
appeal to the
same extent to
prog aficionados, latin funk crate-diggers, and
prog-jazz crazies. But, above all, this is a re- release that intends to please
Arco Iris’ core fans, by enveloping the music in 4 limited to 100 numbered copies, in 4 different colors,
one for each element of nature (water/blue, fire/red, earth/orange, air/silver), with the
original gatefold cover and insert. For
