TABLETOM-MEZCLALINA, LP, 1980, SPAIN

Very fine flute-y Spanish fusionoid prog with occasional funky moves ala Maneige's Libre Sevice or some mid-period Gentle Giant and with a notably suave line in sax swagger that's sometimes filtered in a way reminiscent of Sui Generis and sometimes massed into swooning stately grooves like early Nucleus. Combined with the unexpectedly raw attack of a vocalist who's convinced he's fronting a hard rock band, the resulting clash of musical sophistication and badass rawking is really something to behold and favorably compares with the blazing Argentine Sintesis LP I recently shared.

Finally got a chance to listen to this album last night. It was well worth the wait. Something of a cross between Ponta Murakami and Egor Letov. Thanks.
