Tantor was the name of this excellent Jazz-rock trio from Argentina. Tantor consisted of Héctor Starc, Rodolfo García (both former Aquelarre and Almendra members, playing guitar and drums, respectively) and Carlos Alberto "Machi" Rufino (former Invisible) playing the bass. The album also featured Lito Vitale and Leo Sujatovich, two of the best Argentine keyboardists as guest musicians. This instrumental song, named Niederinwhoren, is the second track, side A, from their self-titled album, recorded in 1979. This particular track has a very soothing vibe, slightly shifting towards the end to a more disco-sounding groove, but pretty relaxing nonetheless.
Here is a review from rateyourmusic.com: This Argentinian Prog/Fusion act from Buenos Aires was sort of a supergroup, when it was formed back in late-70's with Héctor Starc on guitars, Rodolfo García on drums and Carlos Alberto Machi Rufino on bass/vocals.Starc was an ex-member of Prog/Psych Rockers Aquelarre, Garcia played drums both in Almendra and Aquelarre, while Rufino was a former Invisible member.Tantor released their self-titled debut in 1979 on Phillips, helped by keyboardists Lito Vitale from M.I.A. (Músicos Independientes Asociados) and Leo Sujatovich of Spinetta Jade.
This is a perfect example of well-executed, tight and highly technical Prog/Fusion with some really georgeous interplays and fantastic grooves.Fast and furious rhythms led by incredible guitar work and delicate electric piano combine with jazzy pianos and distinct synths to present a number of consistent and well-arranged mostly instrumental tracks.The vocals are limited in just a couple of tracks, which come as a combination of light Jazz/Fusion and Soft Rock, but even these contain some good synth work and smooth guitar playing.However the instrumental ones are the real winners here with top-notch performances by all the members, the sound is incredibly rich, the guitar and electric piano solos are stunning and the rhythm section is solid all the way.
