about

This box set (3 CDs & 52pg book) collects & restores 2 legendary mid-70s releases, both met at the time with extravagant critical acclaim but few sales outside of Spain. Presents for the 1st time a set of previously unknown studio recordings by the otherwise undocumented Trio Altisent, feat. members of both other projects - alongside comprehensive book of background materials, newly conducted interviews, rare unpublished photographs, & overview of Barcelona's mid 70's music scene.

CD1: Musica Urbana - one of the most impressive albums of its time: uniquely infuses the languages of rock, jazz and formal composition with the Spanish folk tradition of flamenco and the sensibility of nat'l composers (e.g. Manuel de Falla and Isaac Albéniz). It weaves all these elements into a uniquely Spanish iteration of experimental rock. A work of luminous brilliance.

CD2: Joan Albert I Felui Gasul, released a year later by Musica Urbana's keyboardist Joan Albert Amargos and flamenco virtuoso Feliu Gasul, a seamless fusion of styles..intensity and high degree of musical intelligence..edge-of-the-seat playing & mixture of compositional and improvisational flexibility, with a lightness and sense that conceal the compositions' fiendish complexity. Joan Albert plays acoustic piano, fender electric and clavinet, Jaume Cortadellus adds some perfectly judged flute on one of the tracks. All of Musica Urbana appear on another. Beautifully recorded and mixed, with unusually clear, strong sound and exquisite separation, together capturing an explosive cultural moment

CD3: Trio Altisent, unreleased recordings by Amargos, Gasul and Cortadellus made in 1984, in a project that grew from their previous work together. Amargos and Gasul went on to become highly respected contemporary composers, later working w/ Paco de Lucia, Chick Corea, Miles Davis, & Maria del Mar Bonet.

This box restores and expands an important moment in music, which rapidly faded as music industry values regained control.

This album is a syncretic stew. The focus of the album is on the interacting timbres. For the most part, the role of melody in this music takes a back seat to the harmonic and timbral tensions that arise from stirring together jazz-style drumming, China-influenced instrumentation, solid electric guitar. and spicing it with a wide variety of instrumental timbres that are kind of like a five-spice flavor of sound. paintelectric

From the downbeat to final note, dazzling and sizzling virtuosic playing. About as perfect a live improv record as it gets. pjnewman-364

Pure beauty centred around acoustic guitar and grand piano. Very calming music in the best sense! Plus a highly unforseeable cover of Deep Purple's Burn (btw, my favourite song of their Coverdale era)! Carsten Pieper
