Review

The first real Progressive rock band in Portugal was a landmark for the European scene, due to the originality of its music. Despite a standard line-up (Keyboards, guitar-vocals, bass & drums-percussions), TANTRA played elaborated and beautifully built and arranged Progressive 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. Apart from being placed in the same category as YES, GENTLE GIANT, PREMIATA FORNERIA MARCONI or KING CRIMSON, this group was in itself a reference. "Misterios E Maravilhas" (1978) & "Holocausto" (1979) are two landmarks in Progressive rock, the latter being slightly influenced by THE MAHAVISHNU ORCHESTRA's Progressive jazz-rock.
