"One of the best and most important psychedelic bands to emerge from South America. It is impossible to indicate just how revolutionary they were; but the fact that the band were naked on the cover of their debut, and crucified their singer on the cover of their second album may give you an idea. The band's first album was recorded live in 1969 in a simple three-track studio. In a strict Catholic country, the album's front cover showing the band sitting nude in a darkly lit room caused quite a stir; record shops refused to stock the record and the press and Church both censored it. And the music rattled a few people too: raw, with heavy rhythms, bursts of distortion and fuzz, fantastic phased female vocals (inviting the inevitable comparison to Jefferson Airplane), and English lyrics. The band's guitarist Carlos Corales is superb, his skill most evident on the erotic 'Erotica' and the ten-minute long mini-epic 'Crimson And Clover,' which finds his wife Denise in superb vocal form." Housed in an old style tip-on jacket with a double-fold cardstock insert with photos and extensive notes.

"The second Aguaturbia album (1970) is, if anything, even heavier than the first: many compare it to Led Zeppelin for heaviness and intensity. The band offered up some heavy jams, with fuzzed-out guitar work, spaced-out vocals and general acid madness." Housed in an old style tip-on jacket with a double-fold cardstock insert with photos and extensive notes.

Aguaturbia (or "murky waters") were Chile's premier underground rock band in the late '60s and early '70s, though their uncompromising attitude caused them to flee for the U.S. in 1970, leaving behind two hyper-rare albums. This brilliant compilation gathers the best tracks from those LPs (original copies of which have changed hands for well into four figures). Taking in fuzz-drenched originals and covers of contemporary rock standards, their music combines the savage guitar work of Carlos Corales with the haunting vocals of his wife Denise to stunning effect, and is essential listening for all psych fans. Also included are historical sleevenotes.
