PLANETA IMAGINARIO ~ BIOMASA CUNEIFORM 268 (Barcode: 045775026824) ~ SPAIN ~ Jazz-Rock Fusion Recorded: 2005 Released: 2008 2nd album by Spanish Jazz-Rock band Planeta ImaginarioFind albums by this artist, a classic 8 piece with guitar, piano, bass, drums and 4 horns, resembling similar bands from the early days of Jazz-Rock like Blood, Sweat & TearsFind albums by this artist and ChicagoFind albums by this artist, but (almost) entirely instrumental. They play all original material, composed by the guitarist (Eneko Alberdi LaskurainFind albums by this artist) and pianist (Marc Capel NadalFind albums by this artist). The recording has a retro sound, which is just right for the band, and the orchestral arrangements are all top notch. This album is great fun all the way through and people who love the Jazzier Canterbury stuff and 1970s Jazz-Rock will love this album to bits. The music is quite a strange mixture of classic Jazz-Rock themes, ethnic influences (African and Middle Eastern) and others, creating a completely original blend, which is refreshing and interesting. Most warmly recommended!
