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.

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.

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.

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 !

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.

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.
