Learn Iceberg - 1976 Coses Nostres

For their 2d album Iceberg had a completely plough both inward the line-up in addition to fashion of music proposed.Angel Riba left the grouping in addition to the remaining quartet decided to deed on equally all instrumental ensemble.They traveled 1 time again to Madrid in addition to recorded ''Coses nostres'' inward only 4 days during September 76' at the Kirios Studios.Even a unmarried was released to promote the album, containing ''Preludio'' along amongst a shorter version of ''La flamenca electrica''.

Musically the mixed handbag of sounds presented on ''Tutankhamon'' was a affair of the past.Iceberg focused on creating technically compentent, at times virtuosic in addition to irritating Progressive Rock amongst rigid Jazz in addition to Castilian Folk  influences, non far from the audio of GUADALQUIVIR or IMAN CALIFATO INDEPENDIENTE.Most of the tracks are long amongst enough of shifting moods, led past times the soaring synthesizers in addition to the electrical pianoforte of  Josep Mas in addition to the sharp, jazzy guitars of Sune.The spanish sounds are easily recognizable throughout the release, equally ''Coses nostres'' contains tons of Latin vibes inward its solos in addition to melodies.The performances in addition to arrangements are well-balanced, ranging from rich in addition to incredibly dense musical ideas to softer moments amongst a to a greater extent than Jazz- or Acoustic-oriented sound, lacking a proggy flavor.Equally, the atmosphere of the album goes through dreamy in addition to sensitive textures to to a greater extent than mutual depression temperature in addition to technical soundscapes.However a real sterile production along amongst the somewhat sparse synthesizer audio forbid the album from beingness a truthful must-have.

Nice, elaborate in addition to captivating instrumental Prog/Fusion for all lovers of the style.Try to skip the disadvantage of the mediocre recording character in addition to focus on the swell musicianship, you lot are certain to relish this album a lot more.Recommended.


An album amongst fantabulous rapid prog fusion, that sounds similar Colosseum II or Modry Efekt; guitar driven, slightly ethnic, in addition to spacey. It starts off a chip slow, but presently gains momentum in addition to aftar a spell actually rocks. It besides contains closed to to a greater extent than urban-sounding jazz themes. Iceberg isn't the alone band that plays successfully amongst that rural/urban opposition (Duello Madre comes to mind). Well played in addition to recommended.

Finally 1 measurement ahead, closer to such Fusion materials inward the vein of "Al di Meola" in addition to "Return to Forever" equally well, in addition to one-time inward a to a greater extent than "progressive" mood, similar inward the album "Hymn of the Seventh Galaxy" by R.T.F.!! Entirely an instrumental album ,this fourth dimension you lot discovery closed to remarkable interplays amongst the guitar,but at the cease you lot are inward problem when instantly you lot should similar to require heed to them 1 time again, later the determination of the 2d side in addition to you lot can't recollect whatever music subject or melody, besides later a repetitive listening...don't larn me wrong, this number is absolutely recommended, despite of finding closed to defects here, nevertheless- past times comparison it to the best album by R.T.F. -("Romantic Warrior"), the introduce number tin non stand upwards inward the same place!!
