Los
Elementales- Fuerzas Magicas De La Naturaleza
was composed and originally released in 1977, at the apex of Arco Iris’
prolific musical career. A well-deserved successor to Agitor Lucens, it is
their most prog-oriented masterpiece, a veritable distillation of years of
uniquely carved and meticulously executed psych/folk/jazz tunes that earned
them their reputation among Argentina’s cultural pantheon’s finest. If nature
ever spoke genuinely to a band and shared with them the alchemical secrets of
the Druids, then that band must not have been other than Arco Iris. Los
Elementales is a mélange of prog
wilderness, domesticated through a mirror of production that reflects the
indelible mark of Ara Tokatlian’s conundrum of tenor sax, Andean woodwinds and
moog, interspersed with jazz-fusion, glimpses of latin-funk and randomly
popping electronics. All of the above, scaffolded on a conceptual platform that
puts in motion, evokes and seeks to simulate the intermingling of the elements
of nature, by punctuating them in contrapuntal moments.
This much sought after by collectors album will appeal to the same extent to prog aficionados, latin funk crate-diggers, and prog-jazz crazies. But, above all, this is a re-release that intends to please Arco Iris’ core fans, by enveloping the music in 4 limited to 100 numbered copies, in 4 different colors, one for each element of nature (water/blue, fire/red, earth/orange, air/silver), with the original gatefold cover and insert.
