Espiritu's second album is an intriguing mix of Relayer-era Yes blended with Argentine singer songwriter tendencies. Libre y Natural can be weighed down by the latter, especially as it drifts towards pop realms with whiny dramatic vocals, only to be reeled back with some fine Moog soloing, wicked bass, and odd rhythms. Not the best Argentina has to offer when it comes to progressive rock, but certainly worth the effort to hear on occasion.
Former ownership CD: 1997 Microfon/Sony. Jewel case. Four page booklet that includes a history in Spanish.
I first acquired the LP via mailorder from Argentina (1996).
2//96 (first listen); 6/30/16 (review / new entry); 9/15/24 (update)
