Opinions and other informations:

Their only record, "Lanean Sartzen" (Iz, 1981), has a couple of semi- acoustic numbers but is mainly electric. Progressive rock with a folk touch and an excelent job on guitar. (Antoni; - Guerssen Records -)

They haven't got any success for them but they made one of the best records in the basque progressive. Great work of Mikel Landa in winds. With a similar line-up than that of Lisker the sound of Magdalena is more complex and closer to jazz rock. Long themes with good solos and constant rhythm changes. Javier Aguirre en "Atropos"
