La Mosca (The Fly) — Npk 2 1970 (Spain, Psychedelic Rock-Proto-Prog)

The only album by this Spanish band, formed in the late 1960s. All tracks on the album were written by the band's producer, Alfonso Sáinz. The vocals are in perfect English.A Spanish pop/rock album (with convincing english vocals) from 1970 that's actually quite good for what it is. The instrumentation and general sound have a lot of period flavour (ie : fantastic juicy organ sound), there is some good, solid, proto hard-rock guitar, and the songs themselves are actually quite decent, with lots of proggy textures during the instrumental breaks.

And at 28 min. duration, it doesn't outstay its welcome. A brisk, concise listen with much colour to it - cool !

(And the sound of this spanish band never ever hints at italian canzone.. How weird !
