Nonetheless, they were an important act during the heyday of prog-rock in Argentina in the mid-1970s, and one of the few bands from that period that are active today.
The band spent its first two years in the tour circuit, their live performances achieving some notoriety by word-of-mouth.
[1] After a line-up change where ex-Los Gatos Ciro Fogliatta replaced Gustavo Fedel on keyboards, Espíritu's second full-length Libre y Natural was released in 1976, at the peak of prog-rock production in Argentina.
[2] The band briefly reunited in 1982 during the very short lived prog-rock revival in Argentina, and quickly ended up recording Espíritu III.
Whether it was a conscious effort to make the album more commerciable is unclear, but it still sold poorly in spite of being a solid record.
