SI TODO HICIERA CRACK

The Spanish prog band CRACK is one notable exception in the progressive rock scenery from that country. I say this, because unlike their countrymen's from MEZQUITA, GUADALQUIVIR and GUALBERTO (for mention just some) in their music is not so evident the characteristic Moorish or Arabian influences, besides the resource of "flamenco" guitar scales are absent in their arrangements. The result is one albun really more "framed" in the Symphonic Prog style. In fact Crack's music is more close to Italian and British Symphonic prog music. Soon as the music starts the atmospheric "landscape" bring to my mind LOCANDA DELLE FATE in their masterpiece "Forse Le Lucciole Non Si Amano Più", the track 1 "Descenso en el Mahellstrong" from 'Si tudo ..." is a theme with melodic and structural similarities ( the alternation between agressive and calm passages, the use of the flute and a almost "whispering" electric guitar ) with the track 1"A volte un istante di quiete" from "Forse Le Lucciole..." The track 2 "Amantes de le Irrealidad" presents a "sweet" male/female vocal duo . The track 3 "Cobarde el Desertor" shows a something from space-prog with the same captivating duo vocal "game" from the previous track., another attraction is the moog in Wakeman's or Banks's "vein". The track 4 "Buenos Desejos" is a folk-prog with detached twelve-strings guitar making the harmony with keyboards and eletric guitar ocasional solos. The track 5 "Marchanda Una del Cid (Pt. 1, 2)" as the name already says is a martial theme that reminds me in some moments JETHRO TULL with a middle section in the best MEZQUITA"S style . The track 6 "Si Todo Hiciera Crack" is one ballad where the vocal duo leading the music until a unexpected "majestic" instrumental theme with keyboards and guitar prominence. The Track 7 "Epillogo" is a type of "coda" where the rhythmic section accelerates the beat, until the mellancolic end of track. In all of the 7 tracks you can find very beautiful melodic moments and highly inspirated instrumental passages. Im my opinion "Si tudo Hiciera Crack" deserves one of the highest place in the "Temple" of Sapanish progressive rock. My rate is 5 stars!!!
