PROGRESSIVE ROCK SIDE OF FIVE MOONS Vol. 1 - Spanish underground progressive rock & related music (2024/ 5 Lunas)
Al fin alguien se ha percatado de lo que era evidente. Que ya llevamos 25 años de nuevo siglo. Y que había que ir rescatando material progresivo de toda índole, que iba quedándose bajo radar, en el limbo de los injustamente olvidados. El sello especializado de Andalucía, 5 Lunas, de Juan A. Vergara, ha sido el iniciador de ésta valiosa serie. En coordinación con Angel Romero y producción/asesoramiento, de especialistas en el género como son Antonio J. Barroso y Rafa Tardio. En buenas manos anda pues, el proyecto. Otros pueden seguir buscando "pecios prog" de los 70 (cada día más una Utopía). Así que porqué no prestar atención a tiempos pasados más cercanos? Donde además, la calidad de sonido suele estar ya garantizada. Eso no quita para que nos sorprendan con algún descubrimiento vintage del siglo XX. Porque completo, éste sampler, lo es un rato. Y bien presentado. Que entra por los ojos antes que por los oídos. Así, el viaje se inicia con los bilbaínos Gintonic. Con
Sperrmüll is a German rock band founded in Aachen in the early 70s. In 1971, Harald Kaiser and Reinhold Breuer decided to form a trio. His name Sperrmüll. Then one day, Helmut Krieg arrives with his guitar and arrangements and the group is started. From that time, the group became a quartet with the involvement of Peter Schneider to play keyboards. The group's name is somewhat obscure because "Sperrmüll" is a German expression that means garbage in bulk. They recorded one album for the label Brain in a very limited edition in 1972, in a manner also quite anonymous Dieter Dierks studio in Stommeln produced by a Chazadu surely a pseudonym. A test similar to the very successful early Deep Purple in Nosferatu and even Rufus Zuphall, This album has long been a precious rarity on vinyl
ResponderEliminarSperrmüll offers a burly album called simply "Sperrmüll" songs are in English and not overloaded instrumentally speaking, but the group actually plenty to offer. Mainly Heavy Rock, but with many additions musiqu progressive, guitar as well as the organ. The original LP consists of 6 songs, then later be digitally added two songs ("You Have To Leave" and "To Be Satisfied").The set is however complex and dynamic improvisations in between some vagueness (many Hammond organs and guitars Heavy catchy) arrangements and folk epic flute.
The opening track is a pop folk entitled "Me And My Girlfriend" controlled first by mandolin and piano, lead, little by little, through the organ and synthesizer to an end much more Heavy Blues. "No Freak Out", Prog majestically, is the song of the group's most famous because it is found on most long compilations of Krautrock for several years. A good choice because it is a good mix of psychedelic ingredients in a style close to Pink Floyd combined with a monotonous rhythm. "Rising Up" is a bit more spacy sometimes reminiscent of Deep Purple, Eloy or even Grobschnitt.
The Hard Rock "Right Now", an epic nine minutes begins some unusual way, because only bursts of guitar and drums hell are dueling for a moment. After several minutes, the song turns into a calmer perfectly structured piece with a jazzy piano and a powerful bass, and finally ending in Hard Rock again. Perhaps the best part, because of these innovations varied. The last two tracks "Land Of The Rocking Sun" and "Pat Casey" are not really important, because they are typically Rock songs, while the second has a more pronounced rhythm style Boogie Woogie.
