QUATERNA REQUIEM - Quasimodo (1994/ QR)
Es sorprendente (y alarmante) cuánto se tiende a olvidar, ignorar, ningunear, la escena progresiva de Sudamérica. Monstruosos combos con masterpieces desorbitadas que todavía esperan ser descubiertas. Concretamente en Brasil, la conexión estilística con el rock progresivo italiano (RPI), es evidente. En muchos casos, a un mismo nivel de grandiosidad. Blezqi Zatsaz, Kaizen, Trem do Futuro, Verdaguer, Lehmujen, Sagrado, Topos Uranos, III Milenio, Dogma, Bacamarte, Atmosphera, Atomo Permanente, Som Nosso de Cada Día......La lista se hace gozosamente interminable. Creo que había que hacer justicia en Rockliquias y traer hoy a Quaterna Requiem. Banda-dúo formada en los finales 80. Elisa Wierman (teclados, composición, producción) y Claudio Dantas (batería, percusión, cover art, producción) son la base en éste "Quasimodo".

Blackwater Park is an obscure band that emerged from the Berlin underground scene. They released their unique album "Dirt Box" in 1971, published on BASF in 1972. The group delivers a captivating, effective bluesy-heavy rock "trip" with lot of incisive guitar riffs, progressive Hammond Organ's arrangements, melodic heavy vocals and psychedelic effects that are part of the mix. His British singer had a strong voice. Especially the third and heavy track "Indian Summer", which clearly shows us the quality, engaging and virtuosity among its members. Remember that the last song is beautiful version of "For No One", composed by Lennon and McCartney,with the album 'Revolver' issued in 1966.
