3 stars The Spanish band ATILA was formed in '73 and made three LP's: "The Beginning of the End" ('75), "Intencion" ('76) and Reviure ('77). At the end of '78 the band dissolves but in '99 they reformed. In the same year this ATILA did a reunion-concert, playing their best material. The sound of ATILA has elements from VANILLA FUDGE, CREAM, The NICE and ELP but in general ... it's ATILA! The remastered second album "Intencion" (considered as their best) and a concert from '99 are put on 1-CD (entitled "Atila: Intencion + Reviuvre"), this is a treat for the lovers of 'vintage-keyboards' (Hammond, Moog, Mellotron) with some mind blowing moments (swirling organ and fat Moog runs) but the guitar work is also worth listening, a bit harder-edged but very inventive, at some moments with a Spanish flavour. The songs from the live-concert ('99) are more original and belong to the best Spanish prog rock ever made: intense, compelling and exciting climates and shifting moods (a bit like the Italian Il BALLETTO DI BRONZO but less complex) with lots of great solos. Recommended to the fans of Seventies inspired prog rock.
