XOXOA X - 11.101
ORIGINAL 1978 SPANISH FIRST PRESSING (500 COPIES ONLY).
MEGARARE. GATEFOLD GIMMIX COVER. Includes the original insert with lyrics.
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, they sing in the Basque language. The musicianship is top notch and includes generous flute. Highly recommended'. As reported on Dag ErikAsbjørnsen'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.'
