SERGIO KOVAL - Clon (1995 / Icono)
Hoy nos vamos a Argentina pero sin salir del país. Si mis informaciones son ciertas, Sergio Koval es un sintetista argentino afincado desde hace años en Barcelona. Extraordinario compositor de bandas sonoras para televisión, le sale ésa vena en su material solitario. "Clon" supuso su primer álbum en 1995. Reuniendo influencias de clásicos sospechosos habituales como Vangelis o Jarre. Digamos que su intención era la fusión del symphonic-classic electrónico con la 70s Berlín School. En 1999 público "Works 95-98". Y en el 2008, junto al español Sam Vitoulis, "Leonard". Otro sintetista éste último, del que tendremos que hablar por aquí un día de estos. "Introduction" (3'58) hace acto de presencia escénica en un rol muy cinematográfico, como el comienzo de una peli fantástica. Incluye majestuoso sinfonismo en un muro de celestial electrónica. "Clon" (11'35) inicia fase secuencial berlinesa de inevitable símil Tangerine Dre...
I sometimes wonder what it was like to be a music lover in the seventies. So many bands with so many records and so many of them obscure…was it as big a treat as it is today to find something incredibly rare. Blackwater Park "Dirt Box" [Spalax]
ResponderEliminarTheir lone (only one album) with 1972 this German hard rock outfit with an English vocalist,combined elements from multiple extant and budding rock subgenres to construct their complex sound: hard rock, blues-rock, jazz-rock, acid rock, prog rock, and even proto-metal.
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.
(Accessible) kraut power band whose work is essential for collectors. "Dirt Box" has been recently reissued on CD by record labels Second Battle.
