 Opinions and other informations:

    

Los Brincos came from Beatlesque-pop and maybe feeling the changes coming, maybe because of the talent of their leader, Fernando Arbex, they released a great and historical record: Mundo, Demonio and Carne in between psychedelic nad the early british progressive. It was recorded in London and had a version in english named "World, Devil and Body". The earlier records are not progressive. After they splitted, Fernando Arbex made some other things like the band Barrabás or the great soloist album "El Caballero del Arco Iris" (1981), very symphonic. He passed away in july, 12nd, 2003. (Jose Manuel Iñesta)

Apart from the list of official albums there's a large collection of compilations, special editions, tributes, etc. As it is well known, only "Mundo Demonio y Carne" is progressive or psycho-progressive, to be more precise, both in its spanish and english version, not the same tracks, by the way. And more confusion has been introduced recently, because in 2001 has appeared a new edition named "complete version" containing (or so it is supposed) both versions, but doesn't match the originals. Well, a real mesh! (Diego Herrera)
