Excellent 70's Spanish symphonic progressive rock album with a powerful progressive musical prowess. "Intencion" is very reminiscent at times of PINK FLOYD ("Meddle" era) with great guitar soloing and a ton of great keyboard work (Hammond and moog). The songs on this album are very much inspired and this is an essential album to have in your collection. Although not a dominating factor and in fact vocals are used only in the first track, with them being sung in native tongue and being very well done. The album also features a female choir in sections which also works to perfection of the album. The keyboard work on this album is quite crunchy actually and really brings out different atmospheres throughout the album. The album features 1 epic track, the 16-minute "El Principio Del Fin" which offers a little bit of almost everything from HENDRIX guitar soloing to more symphonic. Pan Y Musica have kindly re-released this Spanish masterpiece in re-mastered form and one is able to hear a more enriched sound than previously possible on CD format.

Atila was a band formed around 1973 in Spain, they actually started as a power trio that became more of a typical four-piece later on.
They had 3 albums in their short carrer, but a lot of gigs in and around Spain, this one being the second and a definitive must in any serious collector of progressive music
Music based on vintage keys with particular used of the moog, with a very strong rythm and guitar interplay that will not clone anybody on its explorations...very unique, and that IMO is what makes this band great.
Loooong symphonic jams, and solos that will make you drool; mostly (90%) instrumental but when vocals used are very well melted in the context of the music.
For me a fantastic discovery of recent years. Personally I like the next better, still this one deserve 5 stars. Superb!!!!

4.5 stars.This is my favourite ATILA album,and that's saying something if you've heard their Reviure
record.I would say this one has more grit to it,and it's not as spacey as Reviure.This is mostly an
instrumental album except for the first track and the bonus song.There are female choirs offering up vocal
melodies as well.
Intencion is a song that has tons of twists and turns in it.Drums and organ open the proceedings before
female vocal melodies take over.Synths,drums and bass create a cool and uptempo melody as organ
joins in on the fun.Some great scorching fuzz guitar 2 minutes in.After 3 minutes the song settles right
down with organ and drums.Reserved vocals arrive a minute later.I love the guitar that tastefully grinds
away.Synths are firing off all over the place 6 1/2 minutes in.Powerful organ before 8 minutes.Incredible
song. Cucutila opens with slowly pounding drums as organ comes in.The tempo picks up as synths
eventually take over from the organ.Female vocal melodies join in.There is a drum solo before this song
ends. Dia Perfecto takes a while to get going as you can hear different sounds being slowly played.That
changes after 2 minutes as some uptempo organ comes in.Drums and some blistering guitar join in.Keys
lead the way briefly as they give way to some tasteful guitar.This pattern continues.Nice.Waves of organ
sounds are so tranquil to end it. El Principo Del Fin is a side long suite that is actually their debut album
re-worked and condensed into half the time.This song is a monster folks. Church organ to open before
drums and heavy guitar come in.Synths take over and offer up some solos as drums build.The synths
lighten and some fuzzed out guitar comes in.This is too cool.This guitar solo goes on and on as organ
plays in the background with drums.Guitar stops as drums,synths and organ create a pleasant
sound.Eventualy all we can hear are drums before 7 minutes that lasts until after 9 minutes when organ
returns as it continues to shift and change.The fuzz guitar 13 1/2 minutes in is intrusive to say the least as
the organ plays on..Amazing song! This is what progressive music is all about. The bonus track Un Camel
De Xocolata is a 4 minute commercial sounding vocal track.Some nice guitar 1 1/2 minutes in and after
2 1/2 minutes.Excellent tune.
A must have people!
