ITOIZ.Same.Megarare.Original Spain 1978 XOXOA X 111 01.Gatefold Cover.-VG/Vinyl VG.Plus Original Insert.
The first LP by ITOIZ is regarded as one of the best Basque
albums, and it is definitely the most sought-after and expensive one! A
real folk-progressive masterpiece! As reported on the On-line Spanish
Prog Encyclopedia : 'Outstanding group from the Basque country. This is
certainly up there with the best Spanish bands… Their style is a
mixture of folk (Basque folk, that is, not flamenco), prog-rock and a little
jazz. They have excellent vocals, but as they sing in the Basque
language, I have no idea what they are saying. (The Basque language has
no similarities to Spanish or to any other known language and nobody
knows where it came from.) The musicianship is top notch and includes
generous flute. Highly recommended'. As reported on Dag Erik
Asbjørnsen's Scented Gardens of the Mind: 'It's a soft graceful album
with poetical qualities featuring piano, strings, organ, flute and
sudden bursts of lead guitars… The pompous arrangements remind Genesis
and Camel although Itoiz also draw from their own folklore'.
