| # | Artist | Song (click to play) | Album | Year | CD label |
| 1 | Tantra | Misterios e Maravilhas | Misterios e Maravilhas | 1977 | EMI and Musea |
| Wonderful Yes-inspired symphonic prog from Portugal. Very long tracks with lots of interesting instrumental developments. | |||||
| 2 | Miles Davis | Well o' the wisp | Sketches of Spain | 1960 | Columbia |
| Miles is not from Spain, but, just across the river from me, in East St.Louis. This album seems appropriate to round off the Spanish prog shows as this is one of the most evocative and beautiful albums of Spanish inspired music that I know of. This is part of a series of albums made in collaboration with Gil Evans in the late 50's and early 60's. | |||||
| 3 | Triana | Sr. Troncoso | Hijos del agobio | 1977 | fonomusic |
| This is Triana's second of a half dozen+ albums. The songs are full of melancholy, expressed primarily through the vocals. Wonderful guitar work throughout. This album is available as a 2-fer CD along with their fifth album _Llego El Dia_. | |||||
| 4 | Miguel Rios | Una Casa En La Guerra | La Huerta Atomica | 1976 | Polydor / Si-Wan |
| This is an unusual concept album about the atomic bomb. It is a fine polished symphonic rock with some spoken word. It has the feel of a rock opera. | |||||
| 5 | Fusioon | Minorisa (Suite) | Minorisa | 1975 | BMG Ariola |
| This amazing band surpassed themselves once again on this, their third (and last?) album. It's simply a masterpiece of sublime musicianship and composition. There is also some intesting forays of electronic rock music. that sound ahead of its time. Anybody know what happened to any of the musicians after Fusioon broke up? | |||||
