Description
Arco Iris - Los Elementales LP This album was composed and originally released in 1977, at the apex of Arco Iris' prolific musical career. A well-deserved successor to 'Agitor Lucens,' it is their most prog-oriented masterpiece, a veritable distillation of years of uniquely carved and meticulously executed psych/folk/jazz tunes that earned them their reputation among Argentina's cultural pantheon's finest. If nature ever spoke genuinely to a band and shared with them the alchemical secrets of the Druids, then that band must not have been other than Arco Iris. 'Los Elementales' is a mélange of prog wilderness, domesticated through a mirror of production that reflects the indelible mark of Ara Tokatlian's conundrum of tenor sax, Andean woodwinds, and Moog, interspersed with jazz-fusion, glimpses of Latin-funk and randomly popping electronics. All of the above is scaffolded on a conceptual platform that puts in motion, evokes, and seeks to simulate the intermingling of the elements of nature, by punctuating them in contrapuntal moments. This much sought-after collectors album will appeal to the same extent to prog aficionados, Latin funk crate-diggers, and prog-jazz crazies. Wind edition on silver vinyl limited to 100 copies with the original gatefold cover and insert. (sealed)
