Seguimos con discos resubidos pedidos por nuestros amigos, ahora el Mago Alberto trae a la vida un disco de Lito Nebbia, otro de los discos muy pedidos que no deben faltar en el blog cabezón.

En la mitad de los '70, previo a su exilio en México a causa de la Dictadura Militar Argentina, Litto Nebbia, decide enbarcarse en una aventura progresiva, sacando discos como Melopea (1974), Fuera del cielo (1975), El bazar de los milagros (1976) y El vendedor de promesas (1977). Este es uno de los mejores de ese periodo. Y es que es uno de los discos menos conocidos de Litto, aunque de los mas bellos. Obra conceptual sobre un obra de teatro de mimos, influenciada en el rock sinfónico, el tango y el jazz rock. Como una especie de jazz sinfónico porteño, con aires de tango y canción.
Recomendable.

"Fuera del Cielo" is an amazingly strong effort, which is on par with most of the best albums released in 1975. For instance, I find it as interesting and impressive as Camel's "Snow Goose" and better than both of Kansas's albums of the same year, not to mention those of Rush. There is no doubt that the original LP would have an immediate international success if it would've been released somewhere in Europe or the USA or had a proper distribution.

A combination of the lyricism of Italian progressive pop bands and a Latin feel with some psyche influences in the guitar playing and some Renaissance thrown in for good measure. This holds for the album itself, not the bonustracks which are less interesting. The production is quite dated and this might be quite a hurdle. Another drawback is the similar style of singing and melody running through the album. But it does not hurt the mood the music evokes. A pleasant listen, especially for the melancholic mood which is very Latinamerican.
