About
Los Blops’ first album is without a doubt the most engaging and interesting of their three official studio releases from the early seventies. Like so much acid folk of that era, these are compositions recorded in simply and earnestly by young university students (on only two-track recordings, I believe). Today many of these artists would be considered naive and almost primitive, but of course for those of us who count ourselves fans that is precisely where their charms and appeal lie. The opening “Barroquita” is also the first song the band composed together. Like most of the rest of the album this is an acoustic instrumental with a hauntingly familiar and sedate tone. The song highlights the exquisite blend of Western influences and native instrumentation that made the Blops and their Chilean countrymen El Congreso, Los Jaivas and Congregacion such powerful and regionally popular progressive folk voices at a difficult time in their homeland.
The instrumentals are the stars of this album; along with “Barroquita”, the songs “La Muerte del Rey”, “Patita” and “Atlantico” are solid, melodic and Latin-tinged folk delights that show a band of musicians who may still be developing their technical skills but are clearly in-synch as a single-minded collective. The intricate acoustic guitar fingering and simple piano set the tone for each, while the breathy flute and liberally-sprinkled percussion spice each up and give them contextual meaning.
Elsewhere the tracks with vocals such as “Los Momentos” and “Maquinaria” are decent enough, but their appeal is probably stronger with those of the same language families than to a broader prog folk audience. The band does manage to showcase the breadth of their musical influences on the ranging and moody “Santiago Oscurece El Pelo en El Agua” though, which undoubtedly included many British acid folk acts as well as psych masters of the day including Hendrix and the Doors (check out the ambitious electric guitar work on the second half of this tune as well as the spacey vocals and tempo of “Valle De Los Espejos”).
This is a band that never got the sort of recognition they deserved, unlike their more well-known and publicized Chilean counterparts like Los Jaivas and El Congreso. To bad, because this album, and to a slightly lesser extent their second one as well, have a definite place in the collections of any serious progressive folk fan. I’m torn between three and four stars so in the interest of this warm and uplifting spring day I’m going to err on the positive side and go with four stars. Well recommended to folks who appreciate South American modern folk, as well as acid folk fans of all stripes and persuasion.

About
"Del Volar De Las Palomas ("From flying pigeons")" or "Blops" is the second album of Chilean Folk-Rock group "Los Blops", published in 1971. Strictly speaking, it is the second self-titled album, but has become known under the title "Del Volar De Las Palomas" following the most famous song of the album.
This album is based on the concept of a day in the life of a person, LP dividing into two parts: "Manana (Morning)" and "Tarde (Afternoon)" respectively. At the same time, the theme song of the plate are in a rather homely environment.
"Del Volar De Las Palomas" was produced by musician Angel Parra (Violeta's brother), who also collaborated on guitar and lead vocals on the song that gives title track.

About
Eng
"Blops" or "Locomotive" is the third and final album of the Chilean band Los Blops, recorded in 1972, released in 1973. Unlike their last two albums, the style of this album is characterized by neglecting completely the Folk-Rock that characterized fully covering the progressive-rock, with longer than previous ones and 100% instrumentals. Neither attended the guitarist Julio Villalobos, who at that time and not part of the official group (having finally retired in May 1973), being replaced by pianist Juan Carlos Villegas. The master tape was lost in the post-coup era.
This album was recorded at RCA studios in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in only 14 hours. This study was available for the band thanks to his producer Pepe Romeu.
The album had little promotion, being published only 500 copies in Chile.

About
Группа - инициатор рок-движения в Чили (вместе с Congresso и Los Jaivas)... Создана в 1964 году в Сантьяго. Оригинальный состав - Julio Villalobos (гитара, вокал), Alejandro Greene (гитара), Pedro Greene (ударные). Исполняли каверы The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Tje Doors, The Animals, Cream, The Kinks, Bob Dylan. В процессе диалектического развития состав несколько раз менялся и в "классическом виде" полностью сформировался в 1969 году: Эдуардо Гатти (гитара, вокал, ex-The Apparition), Хуан Контрерас (флейта, клавишные), басист Хуан Пабло Оррего (научный сотрудник университета), Серхио Безард (ударные, перкуссия), который изучал искусство в Universidad de Chile. Вели общино-коммунный образ жизни, т.е. жили все вместе... В дополнение к элементам чилийской народной музыки, Blops с самого начала не скрывали свой интерес (и любовь) к английскому року, который для них представляли Эрик Клэптон, Джими Хендрикс, Cream, Blind Faith. Дебютный альбом - Blops, вышел в 1970 году. Кстати, официально все их 3 альбома называются одинаково - Blops, это при переиздании второму и третьему дали новые названия - Del volar de las palomas и Locomotora... В 1971 работали вместе с Виктором Хара (Victor Jara) над его альбомом El derecho de vivir en paz, а также выпустили свой второй альбом. В 1972 к группе присоединяется клавишник Хуан Карлос Вильегас, продюсер группы Jose "Pepe" Romeu получает 14 часов для записи в студии RCA в Буэнос-Айресе (Аргентина), группа записывает свой 3-й альбом - Blops III или Locomotora, где группа усложнила своё фолк-звучание добавлением джаза и фьюжна... В Чили попало всего 500 экземпляров пластинки. Вернувшись из Аргентины, группа решила разойтись (из-за внутренних проблем и финансовых затруднений). После военного переворота 1973 года Эдуардо Гатти отправился в Испанию, Хуан Пабло Оррего - в Канаду, Хуан Контрерас стал художником, Серхио Безард уехал в Чикаго учиться музыке, где он получил диплом и стал профессиональным музыкантом. После переворота 11 сентября 1973 года в Чили оригинальные мастер-ленты Blops были уничтожены. Военная диктатура была сильнейшим ударом по движению хиппи в Чили...
