PLAYS CLEAN 1970 original rarity album => LISTEN BELOW!!

Every time the Maquina ~ "Why?" Lp is played, it grows, as being a monumental album drenched in fantastic searing distortion & expressive wah-wah guitar leads all over the place over both sides ... 
Housed in a strange Dalí-esque sleeve design, the hard-edged jams within reveal a fascinating skilled hard-rock performance, highly recommended to any hard/heavy psych/prog collector in search of a surprisingly strong score!
Hailing from the Spanish "Catalan scene" of the late 1960s, where music "heads" gathered. The Maqunia band came together in the area known as for a gatherings by hip-musicians, and these guys came  with the idea of forming a quartet, including Jordi Batiste - vocals and bass, Enric Herrera - organ, Tapi - drums, and Luigi Cabanagh - distortion effects guitar. 
There was a belief that Máquina were a quintet - because of the five members appearing on the back cover, but in reality they were a quartet when Jordi Batiste was called up for military service then new member Josep María París joined on guitar, with Luigi moving to bass.

And those five were the ones who recorded one of the coolest hard prog-psych albums ever produced on the Iberian Peninsula.

The "WHY?" album begins with “I Believe,” a jamming track composed by París with hypnotic, gliding guitar, wisely supported by the rest of the band, which prepares the listener for the best of the rest.

The orgiastic 25 minutes of "Why?", uncommonly wraps around both side A & B, is an experience(+) of gushing Hammond organ, burning-fuzz and wah-wah guitars, plus incandescent percussive rhythms;. The track is a monstrous improvisation that one may never tire of listening to, where complex rhythm changes clearly follows the style of Maquina's elite heavy psych-prog music in absolute top form.
