"Canarios"-Ciclos (1974)

If there is a record by a Spanish group that is revered in many countries such as Japan, UK or South Korea, that is "Ciclos" of the Canarios.
This superb double album was an ambitious project of Alain Milhaud and Teddy Bautista, producer and keyboard player of the Canarios, respectively), and is based on Vivaldi's "Four Seasons".
This work was never intended to be played live, simply because it was a study experiment with an amazing result, in addition to the fact that the Canarios band did not exist as such at that time, some years ago they had ceased to exist.
Musically "Ciclos" is a very diverse amalgam of style ranging from rock to pop, passing through Latin, baroque, classical and jazz sounds, at times it seems that we are listening to Yes by Rick Wakeman, the first Genesis or ELP, since keyboards are of vital importance in the album.
At the time it was ignored by the public, but over time it became the best progressive rock album ever made in Spain.
