CRISALIDA

In my opinion, Espiritu belongs to the typical Argentinian prog pack of the mid 70's. Enchanting music not lacking emotions, dynamic instrumental playing and several good music motives and drawing from hard rock and Argentinian folk. I like keyboard playing in particular. Songwriting is not as strong leading bands like Crucis or MIA although there aren't any throwaway songs. Vocals have a pleasant colour and singing in harmonies makes them sound folkish. The last track is the most symphonic and longest one with the bass and keyboard players shining through. While not counting as the Argentinian prog masterpiece, it makes a decent first stab in the band's discography and most proggers interested in a typical Argentinian prog will dig it.
