"Final album (1977) by Catalan jazz-rock group Secta Sònica, a classic of the so-called “Rock Laietà” genre. Blend of classic jazz-rock with Mediterranian elements and Catalan folk, here they add some Latin sounds to the mix as well as some experimental passages."
"Barcelona was arguably Spain's most important city for instrumental jazz-rock, represented by leading exponents such as Jarka, Orquestra Mirasol, Companyia Eléctrica Dharma, Musica Urbana and Secta Sonica. Astrofeira is more ambitious, showcasing technical complexities by the soloists, occasionally at the expense of an organic flow in the music. This is still another great album with 10 tracks favouring pre-written themes rather than improvisation, including the delightful "Reggae de les Regates"."-Scented Gardens of the Mind
