    Album Description

    First real Progressive rock band coming from Portugal, TANTRA was a landmark for the European scene, mainly due to the originality of its music. Despite a standard line-up (Keyboards, guitar-vocals, bass & drums-percussions), the band played elaborated and beautifully arranged Progressive rock songs in Portuguese, which figured at the same creative level as the best English composers (YES, GENTLE GIANT, CAMEL...) but with a distinct character. The vocals contain an astonishing lyricism, the musical constructions and combinations are complex and inventive, the sounds are originals and the melodies beautifully made. "Misterios E Maravilhas" (1978) & "Holocausto" (1979) are two milestones in Progressive rock, the latter being slightly influenced by THE MAHAVISHNU ORCHESTRA's Progressive jazz-rock. To be rediscovered !

    4 out of 5 stars Debut from this prog band from Portugal.......2003-12-21

    Portugal wasn't exactly a prog rock hotbed, likely because the country had suffered through dictatorships until 1974 (Salazar, Caetano), which probably made life difficult for the average rock musician (although it's interesting to note that a few prog rock bands in neighboring Spain did record and release albums while that country's dictator, Francisco Franco was still ruling). Tantra was that rare example of prog from Portugal, existing in post-Caetano Portugal. While neighboring Spain had prog rock bands that flirted with local traditional styles of music (like flamenco, as demonstrated with the likes of Triana, Ibio, Mezquita, and Iman), Tantra stuck strictly to Continental European prog. If it wasn't for the fact they sing in Portuguese, you might mistake them for an Italian band. So that means you won't find any Portuguese fado mixed with prog here. 1977's Mistérios and Maravilhas was their debut, released on the EMI label. In an era where many prog rock bands were obviously influenced by the likes of Yes, Genesis, and Camel, Tantra's music seems to be quite free of influences and were quite an original band. The band consisted of Américo Luis on bass, Armando Gama on keyboards and vocals, Manuel Cardoso on guitar and keyboards, and Tózé Almeida on drums and percussion. Little doubt that Almeida was quite a talented drummer and was quite influenced by the fusion scene at the time, while Américo Luis gives us the occasional slap bass. The opening cut, "À Beira do Fim", one of only two cuts with vocals (in Portuguese) is nothing short of amazing. I especially like those atmospheric passages and the synthesizers. "Aventuras de um Dragão num Aquário" is an acoustic piece that's quite reminescent of Steve Howe's "Mood For a Day" (basically a piece played on classical guitar). The title track is more fusion oriented, with Luis giving us some slap bass. "Máquina de Felicidade" is much the same as the previous cut, but I can live without that cheesy music box that rears its head from time to time. "Partir Sempre" is the other vocal track, the first couple minutes is stuck with vocals, before the band gets in to some truly killer guitar and synth solos. In my opinion, the vocal cuts are the best, the instrumental cuts could be better, but aren't bad. Falls short of being essential in my book, but still worth having.
