Maquina-Why?-'70 Spain Psychedelic-NEW LP COLOURED

Maquina - Why?

NEW LP

reissue

The debut 1970 album from one of Spain's first genuine underground bands. Five tracks of superb heavy psychedelia with the twenty five minute title track starting on side one and carrying over onto side two! Fuzz and wah wah guitars battle it out over an early Floyd-ish backing. Great "pocket watch collides with croissant" cover. Why? indeed!

Along with Smash, Cerebrum or Pan & Regaliz, Catalan band MÀQUINA! were one the truly pioneers when talking about the underground Spanish psych–prog scene from the late 60s.
"Why?" was their debut album, originally released in 1970 on the Diábolo label and housed in a striking surreal sleeve designed by band member Jordi Batiste. English vocals, wicked acid fuzz–wah guitars, Hammond organ, flute...including the legendary self–titled track, 24 minutes (split in two parts) of wild psychedelic improvisation.
Featuring Josep Maria "Tapi" Vilaseca (later of Tapiman) on drums, Josep Maria París on fuzz guitar, Luigi Cabanach on wah guitar, Enric Herrera on organ and Jordi Batiste on bass/flute/vocals.
Highly sought–after by psych collectors worldwide, here’s a long overdue new vinyl reissue of this cult album featuring newly remastered sound, original artwork and insert with detailed liner notes and cool photos.
