Un romanziere come Javier Cercas vuole raccontare in forma di romanzo il tentativo di colpo di stato del 23 febbraio 1981 in Spagna. Scopre, però, che "per una volta la storia è stata coerente, simmetrica e geometrica, e non disordinata, casuale e imprevedibile", che quella realtà possiede in sé "tutta la forza drammatica e il potenziale simbolico che esigiamo dalla letteratura". E allora decide coraggiosamente di rinunciare, o forse di fingere di rinunciare, alla fiction per fare l'"anatomia di un istante" ed esporre i fatti: quelli che videro il colonnello Tejero entrare armi in pugno nel parlamento di Madrid…

This is one of the rare jewels coming from the prog art rock scene in Spain. They come from Galicia (NW Spain) but they sing in English. The disc was released in 1994 but it remembers 70's prog/art releases and was widely commented in the european progrock scene. It's a very good one and has similarities with other works from King Crimson, van der Graaf Generator and others. If you're a good proggy fan for sure you will appreciate it.
Unfortunately it's widely unknow and the disc is declassified, initially only 500 vynil copies were pressed, so it's very hard to find. A CD reissue was done later, but a very limited edition. A must hear release! (recommended!). I'm sure you'll not be dissapointed…
