Today we present a gem that comes from an unknown dimension. Papagayo! The English Sunshine Pop , is one of the most amazing collections and sweeping I've ever heard, leaving twenty-four songs with open eyes, each a universe in itself, with the addition that were lost in time : not only is difficult to know any, but also groups who interpret them. As the title suggests, is looking for a style rich pop melodies and choruses, but dedicated to magic and the sumptuous arrangements that are a direct legacy of California sunshine pop style that developed following of Pet Sounds Beach Boys. The funny thing is that this collection shows how the history of English music is steeped in shadows, beyond the usual names and records often quoted again and again (quiet, never talk about flamenco here). And hence the reason for the compilation, the songs were recorded in the early to mid- seventies, but were immediately swept away by the force of prevailing trends, and so were relegated to oblivion. Put another way: in those years, the groups that made up these subjects did not obey the dictates or progressive rock or folk jipiesco were a pop enthusiasts who died with their ideas on their backs and bring out the little, very little, you know the music of our own country. Papagayo shows a English pop music scene of high-level, adapted to the most demanding and refined taste, apart from trends in the late stage of the Franco regime, and could proudly bear with names like Brian Wilson , Michael Brown , Curt Boettcher or Billy Nichols. "La Casa Azul ? Come on.
and attention because they burn the engine revolutions since the beginning. "Mr. Nobody" is a sweeping song of a group you have not found any information, Mahogany . An acoustic guitar gives way to a feast of harpsichords, trumpets, strings and, above all, a passionate melody that catches without compassion. A masterpiece, in short, playing both a sense of pop calculadísimo exciting as boundless imagination in the arrangements. Sensational. All these features are shared point about "good and evil" by Joe and Luis another ghost group, which presents a celestial-sublime melody when they sing a "pass" diluted among strings, psychedelic accents and unforgettable. And the next, "A smile, a glance" of reaction is just as good or more pop feel pure, unmitigated nostalgia and inspiration that goes to the pair of of Zombies Odessey and Oracle . With only three songs let us set the record straight: it seems as if the sophisticated pop of the excellent group who were Modules had triumphed, but free of its, at times excessive and elaborate baroque grimly. Another imaginary hit is "My song is love" of Souls and Lights . More information gap on the group, of course, as with almost all but the English guitar lines including classic know and bubbling its explosive chorus, not to mention the flirtations gratifyingly sentimental melody (is there who can resist that "come to me, listen to me?").
And then comes the "Youth" Chalk group, which seems a slight slip of the compilation, because they were not English, but in Chile, and his career collapsed with the advent of the dictatorship, but the truth is that given level of the song, does not matter. It is a majestic composition, with a circular choruses that are built like houses of cards and leaving a melody full of peace. "Papagayo" is the compilation's title, the "for not breaking the rule-desconocidísimos Guys and Dolls, lush, tropical, but above all damn pop and sentimental, not sentimental. Another milestone of insanity is "Four Seasons", New Horizons group . This group released a few singles in the early seventies, made them all for Double Vainica . And the truth is that this song seems much better than any of the famous duo, porque no huele ni a naftalina, ni a seudorock progresivo, ni tampoco a jipi, sino que presenta un poético y altamente adictivo pop, con deliciosos cambios de ritmo. Otro clásico venido de la nada es "Mundo de Amor", de Voces Amigas , que podría figurar tranquilamente en cualquiera de los grandes discos de pop de cámara de los sesenta, una canción que parece esculpida más que compuesta, una melodía angelical entre voces mezcladas con una insuperable arquitectura. Lo mejor de la música se concentra en cada una de las esquinas de esta canción.
"Sunshine Boy", de Licia , es una versión de un tema que no he podido identificar pero que estoy sure you have heard before in English, sunshine pop-blooded, optimistic and bright, by a singer who actually think it was Italian and edited this song just for the English market. And then come Los Angeles, the only group that could identify the first time I heard this compilation, with "Dreams", one of its most beloved songs of honest and clean sound, as usually happened with them, unbroken chorus (in this case wrapped in a magical "la-la-la"). Undoubtedly, their inclusion in this collection seems a tribute. We can not relax for a moment, "It was a tear," by Elia and Elisabeth , Is another jewel lost in time, summer and nostalgic tone with a wonderful female voices that spread the pain without losing a bit of beauty. And "Rain on your cheeks" of Friends , unfolds simply, to suddenly stuck with a stunning chorus full of dreamy strings and makes us wonder what happened to these groups that today we know nothing . The four coins were actually Venezuelans, but as with chalk, this fact does not really matter, "Things" is another milestone, spiral horns, intriguing and infectious melody, vocal harmonies, finally, has it all and is worthy of appearing on a compilation with a requirement level bordering on utopia.
briefly mention "A flower is my love" by Les Extremes , not because it is good, quite the opposite, as good as the others, believe me, a vessel plying waves in a storm, but I can no longer contain the urge to talk about it continues: "I'm looking for," Sweet Years of . At first glance it seems a version of a classic pop, but in reality it is, this is a song written by the members of this group when they were fourteen. And just being big words, one of the undisputed summit of English pop, a stunning adventure that should never be forgotten and that contains a hopeful melody, direct, positive, intoxicating, with passages that are the most sophisticated and accurate than ever done here, all concentrated in just three minutes. The "Good Vibrations" English, no doubt, a ray of light that shows the dark side of our music that nobody ever bothered to teach us. The sunshine pop in the vein is injected with "Order" of Parable that anyone would say that comes from the U.S. charts in the mid-sixties, much like the songs of the Monkees at its best, honest, unmitigated good. Then New Democracy, with its "Hey Hey, we want to fool with a start that seems to have noticed Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and groups like that, but then laugh in our face, because they give us a slap in stunning vocal harmonies, much along the lines of Los Angeles, drawn like an eagle in a tune that pays homage to the gods of pop.
And later, the group Black Sheep , which no one knows, not even his dicográfica , with a monumental track that includes more energy guitar but ultimately surrenders to the magic of the chorus should be: "Thinking of You" is another lost classic of this compilation, some folk-not much, and with a personality that makes it very weird to know that just recorded nothing else. "Let's Hang On" by Queimada, is closer to the classic Four Seasons from a perspective that brings together sounds like strength Wilsonian poppy-seventies, everything here is pure excitement and energy. Then David and Sonia presents "Thinking of You", tinged with melancholy, and clear references to both the elegance of Burt Bacharach as the bossa-nova, a rare bird pop sensation in English. Chalk Chileans repeated the B side of "Youth", which is "Sometimes", a song which refers to music from the British invasion of the first period, combining in the same proportion hook and humility. Superb, as is "Our Place" in Tuset 31, chamber pop in the spirit of the Zombies emerge again, baroque style that does not hide a sensitivity to the surface of which there is no reason to be ashamed. For if you have not already been clear, the hallmark of this collection is certified "All over" of the Yetis , which is neither more nor less than a fantastic version of "My World Fell Down" by Sagittarius - was recorded in the early seventies, but the group was Colombian, not English, it must to say, "that it remains committed Baroque and accentuated and more forthcoming, perhaps, any latent sadness. And finally, "Do not ever leave," by Daniel Velázquez , the song of the lot that probably had more commercial potential because it was closer to the standards of the time, but he did by way of a refinement that was more to do with Solera or Cánovas, Rodrigo, Adolfo y Guzmán that Nino Bravo.
Papagayo, The English Sunshine Pop is one of those collections that change lives and to provide pleasure and happiness without cost. Furthermore, the interception is absolutely essential to give birth to an unknown dimension of English music that rises to the level cheerfully reference totems of style. Twenty-four songs of the seventies, but a timeless value, and that the discs snack usually cited in the magazines "professionals" when they talk about those years.
