SPAIN DIABLO 1971 - ULTRA RARE ORIGINAL COPY OF BEST SPANISH FOLK PSYCH EVER!

"This hippie folk outfit from Barcelona was a Spanish cross between Incredible String Band and Limbus 4 (or Furek?ben, Amon Duul I and Siloah). They played loose songs with mandolin, guitar, harmonica, piano, rambling bongos and chanting. Jaume Sisa later recorded several solo albums, of which Orgia (1972) has a similar spirit to Musica Dispersa." - Scented Gardens Of The Mind

"Spanish album from 1971 that featured the talent of three of the most significant musicians from the Catalonian underground movement of the late sixties: Jaume Sisa, J.M. Brabo ' El Cachas' and Albert Batiste, who after their Miniatura project with Pau Riba were joined by young hippie girl Selene. Echoes of The Incredible String Band are present mainly in the guitar parts; drums are absent in all but one track on which they are played by Josep M. Vilaseca 'Tapi', of Máquina & Tapiman fame, but percussion, harmonica, organ, mouth harp, piano and wordless vocals are heard throughout the album, as is Selene's flute work. All in all this is a strange, relaxing little piece of underground from Barcelona's early seventies hippie youth that has become a classic of Spanish pop music; a masterpiece full of melodic tunes that are equally indebted to the English folk music of the era, as they are to the early Amon Duül freakout sound concept."

"For those who loved The Incredible Stringband, Dr Strangely Strange or the Holy Modal Rounders (and perhaps the San Francisco scene at its spaciest), this Catalan band will strike a similar chord. Spain's answer to the hippy-folk-rock movement, this quartet had their 60s moment and it is captured on these 10 tracks of romanticism, silliness and pure acoustic verve. Guitars, mandolins, harmonicas, fiddle, mandolin, slide whistle, banjo, bass, drums, piano, flutes and wandering, wailing voices weave their magic."

"Musica Dispersa joined in Barcelona in 1970, when they recorded their only album, released by Diabolo, in which they developed a really avant-garde music, with hypnotic rhythms, eastern influences, and sensual voices (Selene) producing sounds that transport you to another dimension. Their main composer was "El Cachas" from Madrid and among the members was a young Jaume Sisa, that was then an institution in the Catalan music. I can state that their record was one of the best in that time (if not the best) and of course the most original and experimental one." - Orlando Iglesias (The Spanish Progressive Rock Encyclopedia)

"...moments of extraordinary beauty." - Alberto Albas (The Spanish Progressive Rock Encyclopedia)

"Barcelona band's masterpiece of melodic tunes paying a certain tribute to the English folk movement of that era, as it does to early Amon Duul's freak-out sound concept. Hypnotic rhythms, Eastern influences and Selene's sensual voice transport the listener into another dimension. Echoes of the Incredible String Band are present, mainly in the guitar parts." - Malesch Records

"Fantastic 1971 album, probably the best Spanish folk-psych album ever. Acid folk in typical UK 70's style, with traces to Incredible String Band but in a more experimental way." - Freak Emporium
