EQUILIBRIO VITAL is a Progressive rock band from Venezuela. Its first eponymous album was originally issued in 1983, and is now re-issued by Musea with some new tracks recorded between the year 2000 and 2003 as bonuses. With the name "Tributo A Marcos Chacon", different from the original one, the group wanted to pay tribute to its guitarist who died in 2001. EQUILIBRIO VITAL, who was the author of various other past albums, want now to keep on working. As Marcos CHACON used to say: "Music is the expression of an energy that comes from feelings that burst from deep inside.". The album that we are interested in here doesn't lack energy, and even becomes almost hard-rock at times ! The instrumental digressions of a LED ZEPPELIN seem to be an excellent comparison. Feminine and masculine vocals, flute, saxophone, lively rhythms and furious guitars create an authentic, warm and enthusiastic music that is full of positive vibes and expressive power. Recorded in the year 1984, the second album also includes several bonus tracks recorded today. "Kazmor El Prisionero" is a brilliant mix of Seventies Progressive rock, including lively flute parts ala JETHRO TULL, nice melodies ala CAMEL and a more powerful energy, sometimes near DEEP PURPLE.
