Electronic music iceberg10/28/2023 In my opinion, this mixture of Spanish and English lyrics was a mistake. Lying on the Sand has an enigmatic beginning and slow verses, and that's a good 70's standard prog-rock song excepting the But this problem is not to beįind in Amarna, an instrumental composition with some wah wah guitars, mellotron and a fine dark atmosphere. The lyrics are sadly a bit ridiculous, but that's the weakest point of the band anyway. Sacerdotes has another great riff at the beginning and curious saxophone which contribute with some extra symphonicĮlements. Giving the band an extra amount of personality. Prólogo introduces some powerful guitars and the fine vocals from Ángel Riba, who sings in a very passionate and solid style The album opens with Tebas, a Little instrumental track with beautiful melodies which are very Yes influenced. To be heard in this record, but it's surely worth your time nevertheless if you are into this kind of music. So, it's nothing really new or truly original To create a prog-rock album in the vein of Yes, Camel with a touch of King Crimson. : : : Erik Neuteboom, The NETHERLANDS : : :įan & official Prog Archives collaboratorĭebut album from one of the most unfairly forgotten spanish prog bands of the 70!Īnd unlike their posterior releases which are clearly more jazz oriented, Tutankhamon was a lovable attempt from this band An absolute must if you can find any of the albums. "Coses Nostres" is a very strong release from the ultimate Spanish fusion ensemble. Try for "Coses Nostres" or "Sentiments" as they're a bit better than "En Directe" or "Arc-En-Ciel" though any of these are fantastic. The other albums contain splendid jazzrock/fusion music with spectacular guitar - and keyboard work. The vocals are often passionate and the interplay between guitar and keyboards is flowing. Their debut album "Tutankhamon" (eleven tracks) is their most 'symphonic': tasteful songs with many shifting moods, ranging from fluent with biting and howling, wah-wah drenched guitar solos to dreamy with floods of choir-Mellotron and tender Fender Rhodes piano. Their final release was the live-LP "En directe" from '79. ICEBERG made four studio-albums entitled: "Tutankhamon" ('75), "Coses Nostres" ('76), "Sentiments" ('77) and "Arc-en-Ciel" ('78). The band mixed RETURN FOREVER or THE MAHAVISHNU ORCHESTRA's crazy and energetic music and SANTANA's more latin one. Their style was definitely jazzier but with continuous conversations between the guitars and keyboards in a mixture of fusion and symphonic sounds. This Spanish band ICEBERG came (like Manuel from Fawlty Towers) from Barcelona and consisted of: Max Sune (guitar), Josep Mas Kitflus (keyboards), Primi Sancho (bass) and Jordi Colomer (drums), Angel Riba (voice) could only be heard on the first record. ICEBERG from the middle of the 70's were easily one of *the* best Progressive bands to come from Spain. Founded in Barcelona, Spain in 1974 - Disbanded in 1979
