1 Bloque Humanidad Indefensa Hombre, Tierra y Alma 1979 King Record
Great guitar-led progressive. This is from Bloque's second release. They appear to have 4 albums. I have seen 3 of them on CD, but, not _Musica Para La Libertad_. There is lots of very cool guitar harmonizations.
 
2 Asfalto La Isla Del Amor Asfalto 1978 Si-Wan Records
This is Asfalto's first album, which purportedly pales in comparison to their second "Al Otro Lado", which I have not heard, yet. This release has some fairly straight forward guitar rock, with a couple of more overtly prog songs.
 
3 Iman Maluquinha Camino del Aquila 1980 Musea
Very good instrumental prog with fusion touches. Oftentimes, the music has a Santana sound, ala Moonflower. Their first self-titled album has not been released on CD.
 
4 Triana Se de un Lugar 5 Aniversario ? fonomusic
Upon hearing Triana, there is no doubt that this band is from Spain. Loads of brilliant acoustic and electric guitar playing. Ole !
 
5 Jose Cid O Caos 10000 Anos Depois Entre Venus e Marte 1978 Art Sublime
Jose Cid is from Portugal. This is reportedly the only release of interest to prog fans. This is a fine symphonic concept album about the destruction of the world. Loads of Mellotron (choirs mostly) and analog synths, with majestic guitar leads.
 
6 Bloque Alquimista Soy El Hijo del Alba 1980 Si-Wan
More nice melodic guitar prog from Bloque's third release. This album is much more pop-oriented and radio friendly than thir earlier releases.
