Recorded in 1974, "Ciclos" shows an adaptation of VIVALDI’s "Four Seasons" with a rock and Hispanic flavour. This is a conceptual album with an interesting story line that goes from the creation of the Earth to the Apocalypse in 2700 A.C.
"Ciclos" is a classic symbol of the Spanish progressive scene in the last Franco's years. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
