CARMEN ~ FANDANGOS IN SPACE / DANCING ON A COLD WIND ANGEL AIR 229 (Barcode: 5055011702295) ~ UK ~ Progressive Rock Recorded: 1973- 1974Released: 2006 One of the most eagerly awaited reissues ever of the first two albums released by the US / UK Prog group CarmenFind albums by this artist, which were amongst the most sought after albums among Prog collectors for almost 30 years. Carmen originated in the US and was a brainchild of David AllenFind albums by this artist and Angela AllenFind albums by this artist, who took their Flamenco roots and mixed them with rock. In 1973 the band moved to UK, which was more open to their unusual musical direction. The legendary Tony ViscontiFind albums by this artist produced their first two albums. In spite of the initial high interest in the band somehow things eventually did not work out and after recording one more album they disbanded and disappeared from the scene. The albums remain as an important legacy of the period, especially in view of the fact that they are one of the first attempts to combine wold music (in this case Flamenco) with rock elements, which they certainly did with great taste and talent. The band included the bass player John GlascockFind albums by this artist, who later joined the ranks of Jethro TullFind albums by this artist, where he stayed till his death in 1979.
