PROMETEIA
by QUERCUNIAN CAMERATA
supported by 6 fans who also own “Abanico Catalán”
This outstanding folk rock album, which I found in Manoel Macía's wishlist, sounds so authentically retro, that I wasn't sure if it's in fact a recording from the 70's. But no, this Spanish band really is a contemporary one. The music is basically quiet and meditative, with occasional uptempo outbursts, featuring a vibraphone as one of its lead instruments. Think of Jim McCarthy's "Illusion" with traces of "Jethro Tull" and "Gentle Giant". There's a one-hour live video on YouTube, showing the band performing "Prometeia" with narration in Spanish, as can be heard on the last four bonus tracks of this album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bs2e2uTJHZE Note that drummer Cristian Suárez is wearing a "Magma" T-shirt... :-)

Farmhouse Odyssey

Basically a great album with top-notch songwriting... unfortunately bloated with annoying improvisations and other distracting noise, which wreck the wonderful musical arcs in an instant. As people sometimes say, "less would have been more"...

Boiling Fowls
by Cheeto's Magazine
supported by 5 fans who also own “Abanico Catalán”
The lyrics alone are outstanding. The album doesn't "flow" as good as their latest album Amazingous, but instead offers more experiments and stays even more quirky. A track like "Teddy Bears" predates what will be A.M.A.Z.I.N.G a few years later. Really, a must-have for any fan of awesome pop/rock/exerimental stuff.

Live at Babooinumfest
by Pandora Snail
supported by 5 fans who also own “Abanico Catalán”
Astonishingly, the first two minutes of this album (mostly the violin playing) reminded me of Tuvan tunes and then, when the rest of the band kicked in, I thought they sounded like the amazing Kotebel from Spain. That mixture get me hooked, although these comparisons didn't hold, because their doing their very own thing. St.Petersburg prog fusion... And as Sven B. Schreiber, whose recommendation I have to thank once more, pointed out: Brilliantly played live recording!
