Tracklist side A:
Good melodic hard rock/late-70s'-style aor with keyboards.
Amateurish and poorly mixed prog rock - uptempo and quite cool still.
Prog of a higher Yes/Genesis/Gentle Giant-tier than those above.
Really nice Heavy Prog like Resistencia meets King Crimson meets The Sweet perhaps?- DR JEKYLL - Atila
Hell yeah! Pure FWOVHM like a 50/50 mix of our ol' faves ARKANGEL and RESISTENCIA. A bit rough around the edges but tempo + riffing is high class.
Tracklist side B:
Plodding, amateur-hour hard rock. Cute at best.- SECUENCIA - Reina Gitana
Atmospheric heavy-prog that could possibly the 'token slow song' of a heavier act. Reminds me a bit of UK Omega's The Prophet. Let's call it a proto-HM ballad just for fun.. - EXPRESIÓN - Señal de Caída
Now this definitely falls into that sloppy but charming proto-HM slot. +1 for some galloping riffs and Resistencia-like passages.
Mellow rock.
Some RAW guitars followed by really zany keyboards opens this otherwise average prog/psych rock piece.
A bit more high-brow & atmospheric prog here.
