That's a really weird name for an album Pig I'm enjoying the album, but it was a terrible quality in some parts, is it only from the video?

Listened to Som Imaginario not long ago and liked it a lot.
I'm not familiar with Jordi Sabates.

Not as bad as on you tube. Samuel, but not as good as a little glass of Ginja. Wink

Oh great mention my winged Italian duck...Som Imaginario are fantastic! Funny you've mentioned the sound, when I got my recent speakers about 5 years ago the first thing I tried on it was that album, I've just discovered it and I really loved how they sounded in the first song Big smile

Not many things are better than a glass of Ginja Tongue I assume you drank some in Lisbon, since it's a traditional drink there Smile

I love that Jordi Sabates Album..

Throw Argentina from South America in as well.  The Vox Dei album "la Biblia" is one I play quite often (tube link below). Thumbs Up

That Jordi Sabates was great!  First time hearing that.

Since you talked about Spanish music, I'll share one of my favourite Portuguese albums. It is a very nice symphonic album, although I'm so much into the concept and the theatrical interpretation, that I can't seem to concentrate only on the instrumental Tongue What do you think of it? Smile

Looking for thoughts on Finisterre.
I've heard most of their debut on the tube but they have nine albums and that's a lot to research.
Any suggestions on where to start with this band?

BTW, I'm listening to a band called La Seconda Genesi (1972) and it's very interesting.
Syn-Phonic doesn't list it, is it rare?
Anyone familiar with them?

Nice Album. On discogs for $10 at the Moment so not rare.
The original Vinyl is mega rare (all 200 LPs had a different hand painted
cover)

Thanks for the info.
I remember reading (?) that one of the band members did the paintings and later became a graphic artist.

The debut is charming but my fave is In Ogni Luogo! The Live at Progday 1997 is great too !
I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

Listening now (YouTube) to "My Grandmother's Space Suit" (2010) by Fonderia.
I also heard a couple of individual tracks from Re>>Enter (2006).
What I've heard so far is a laid back instrumental jazz/rock style with occasional guest vocals.
There is also a self titled debut from 2002.
The music is easy to listen to and I like everything I have heard so far.
Any thoughts on this band?

I only have debut but honestly haven't played in years, but from what I recall your description is correct. It's a very easy listening because it's light and breezy but doesn't contain any surprises, I think that's why I grew tired of it, but it's definitely a good and enjoyable album when you're in the mood.
