Mexican Prog-Fusion MANDRAGORA Self-Titled LP 1983 PREN Private Press

150

Hard-to-find self-titled LP from Mandragora released by Pren (EVS-83) in 1983. Utterly rare private pressing from Mexico that does not turn up very often. Album cover photos give no indication of what lies within these grooves. There a 7 extended tracks of instrumental progressive rock with fusion leanings featuring synthesizer and fuzz-guitar leads throughout. Recording has a budget quality as far as editing goes but this is not a problem as there are plenty of moments of brilliance. Side (Lado) 1 has a couple of attempts at funk-fusion while Side (Lado) 2 shows more of a Latin flavor to the jams. Nice keyboard and guitar trade-offs. A real surprising discovery!! Good luck finding this one again!
