A Máquina Voadora (Flying Machine) released in 1970 is a landmark of Brazilian music, inspired by the Psychedelia of the Beatles, almost conceptual, it contains themes of aviation and references to books written by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, in particular the Little Prince.
Máquina! is maybe the very first underground rock group to have recorded in Franco's Spain, their first single dating back to early 69, and the following year, their first LP was out with a striking artwork depicting a clock coming out from a croissant meaning that it was time to wake-up (and have breakfast) in Spain. The album was called Why? and it was clearly so rebellious under a dictature that fellow group Tapiman (and Barcelona crosstown rivals/friends) answered them with a track Don't Ask Why. The five-piece group developed a high-energy Hammond-driven psych/prog rock with two lead guitarists, with many extraordinary musical moments given the context of those years.
