| Description: Sealed 1974 Original. Recorded In 1973, Fandangos In Space Introduced To The World The One Of A Kind Blend Of Flamenco Music And Progressive Rock Of Carmen. Produced By Tony Visconti (Whose Credits At The Time Ran From Gentle Giant To David Bowie), It Is A Stunning Demonstration Of Virtuosity, Creativity, And Songwriting Skills. The Spanish/Gypsy Element Translates Into Some Predictable And Clichéd Lyrical Topics, Like Bull Fights, But The Musical Elements Are So Well Integrated Into The Progressive Rock Vocabulary (Including Hand Claps, Castanets, And Flamenco Footwork) That One Wonders Why Nobody Followed The Band's Footsteps (Literally!). - AMG |
