Crusis |
Pollo frito |
Los Delirios Del Mariscal |
1976 |
Record Runner |

Their second and last album. This one is mostly instrumental.
The music is complex and the band is very tight. The band is
clearly influenced by Gentle Giant and early Camel in style,
but the compositions are completely original. One of the best
bands from Argentina.

A pleasant reflective album featuring Argentina's famous Luis
Alberto Spinetta on guitar. Long tracks, mostly instrumental.
Some elements of fusion.

Senales Sin Edad |

Mardel-X |

Excellent symphonic whose primary influence is probably Los Jaivas.
The album is available on a 2-fer CD with their first album which
is also very good. Highly recommended for those who want to hear
great progressive music with a strong mix of South American folk
music.

Reminds me more of US southern rock bands like Poco or Illinois
Speed Press. Comparable to Sui Generis. Vocal harmonies play a
key part in the music. It seems the songs could have been worked
on a little more as many of the transitions do not flow very well
and seem forced.

A masterpiece of 3 long tracks. Perhaps the best progressive
album from Argentina. The CD is pretty scarce, so you may want
to snap it up if you can find it. In addition to the usual rock
instruments, flute, violin, and saxophone are included. The music
is mostly instrumental and at times reminds me of the French
band Carpe Diem. Comparable to some early 70's Zappa albums.
Highly recommended, if you can find it.
