PSIGLO 'Ideacion' LP (Uruguay, Little Butterfly Records, Catalogue #LBR-004) Brand new/unplayed copy of Little Butterfly label (out of Uruguay) edition of 1973 debut album (originally released on the Clave label) by Uruguayan rock band Psiglo.
(NOTE: LIMITED VINYL EDITION OF 500 COPIES ONLY!)
"Originally released in Uruguay in 1973 by Clave label and then reissued through the Sondor label in the '80s, this is the debut album by Psiglo, one of the most important and influential bands of South-American progressive rock. Ideación, widely considered a masterpiece of '70s Uruguayan rock, achieved huge sales upon its initial release. This remastered reissue is pressed on 150-gram vinyl and includes an insert with an updated biography by historian Fernando Peláez, author of De las Cuevas al Solís, a history of Uruguayan rock from 1960 to the mid-'70s. Edition of 500."
"Formed in the early 70s after the break-up of two or three previous bands, this outfit was possibly the only Uruguayan rock band to enjoy, sort of speak, a brief "stardom status." From the beginning they had a very defined scenic presence and a progressive hard-rock approach. With an above average production level, their albums are indisputable strong, supported by the Keith Emerson/Jon Lord type keyboards and the incisive Deep Purple guitar style. However, it is Gonzalo Farrugia's ultra speedy and effective drumming that gives the band its unique sound. Songs such as "Sienteme," En Un Lugar Un Nino" and especially "Vuela A Min Galaxia" (all included on their great first album) were regularly played on the radio and TV. The military coup found the group at its peak of popularity, being one of the few rock bands that continued working for a while. The live acts continued with full houses, but the magic sort of drifted away. After a rare single with a non-album a-side; with a lower profile, and the departure of guitarist Luis Cesio, the band entered a period of darkness during which their second LP was recorded. The album, recorded as a quartet with Cesar Rechac now on guitar, remained unreleased until 1977, when Psiglo was just a memory. Despite the long tunes, the excellent instrumental development and the clearly progressive rhythms, it was too late for a band that had moved to exile." - Marcelo Camerlo/The Magic Land
