Classic reissue of one of the most heralded underground albums from Spain, originally issued in 1971. As recently featured on the Delay Records comp Folk Is Not A Four Letter Word. Deluxe digipak package with fold-out poster insert. "Spanish album from 1971 that featured the talent of three of the most significant musicians from the Catalonian underground movement of the late sixties: Jaume Sisa, J.M. Brabo ' El Cachas' and Albert Batiste, who after their Miniatura project with Pau Riba were joined by young hippie girl Selene. Echoes of The Incredible String Band are present mainly in the guitar parts; drums are absent in all but one track on which they are played by Josep M. Vilaseca 'Tapi', of Máquina & Tapiman fame, but percussion, harmonica, organ, mouth harp, piano and wordless vocals are heard throughout the album, as is Selene's flute work. All in all this is a strange, relaxing little piece of underground from Barcelona's early seventies hippie youth that has become a classic of Spanish pop music; a masterpiece full of melodic tunes that are equally indebted to the English folk music of the era, as they are to the early Amon Duül freakout sound concept."

"Wah Wah Records proudly presents the new vinyl reissue of yet another smashing Spanish rarity. Musica Dispersa featured the talent of three of the most significant musicians from the Catalonian underground movement of the late '60s: Jaume Sisa, J.M. Brabo 'El Cachas' and Albert Batiste, who after their Miniatura project with Pau Riba were joined by young hippie girl, Selene. The album's title describes the sounds contained in the most precise way possible, but for those who need some extra lines to get into the groove, we must state that we face a masterpiece of melodic tunes that pay a certain tribute to the English folk movement of the era, as they do to early Amon Duül's freak out sound concept. Echoes of The Incredible String Band are present mainly in the guitar parts, drums are absent in all but one track (in which they are held by Josep Mª Vilaseca 'Tapi,' of Máquina & Tapiman fame) and percussion, harmonica, organ, mouth harp, piano and wordless vocals are heard all through the album, as is Selene's flute work. All in all, this is a strange, relaxing little piece of underground from Barcelona's early '70s hippie youth that has become a classic of our country's history of pop music, and that is yet again available in a 1000 copies only strictly limited edition that respects the original gatefold artwork, including the slight relief of the cover illustration. As an addition, our release comes with extensive liner notes and photographs. This is one of our best releases and we are proud of it!"
