BLOQUE - Hombre, Tierra y Alma - SWE Flawed Gems Edition - LISTEN - VERY RARE

I love this album! Released 'only' in 1979, but sounding much earlier (1973-74), the Spaniards' second album contained a very impressive and soulful portion of progressive rock based on a strong vocal, sobbing or heavily riff-driven guitar parts and of course a battery of keyboards - almost identical in form to the offerings of some Italian formations such as Biglietto per l'Inferno, P.F.M. or Museo Rosenbach - with a touch of the style of Pink Floyd and early Camel. I stress that Spanish progressive bands were heavily 'delayed' (including Lisker, Nu, Leno) and the date 1979 can safely be treated as nominal. I write this because at that time rather dreadful things were being made in the progressive world, but in General Franco's country time flowed differently, more slowly. As with all records from this label - excellent sound quality, mastered from the original vinyl! A must!
