A coletânea Life Circle é dividida em duas partes distintas, a primeira fase no começo dos anos 70, ocupando as 6 faixas iniciais do álbum misturam psych/prog com hard rock típico da época e pegadas arrasadoras de guitarra, órgão e bateria, com covers de "Satisfaction", "Border Song" e "Don't Let It Bring You Down" e gravação precária. A partir da sétima música ("Beginning") o som é muito diferente, quase irreconhecível em comparação as primeiras, trazendo progressivo sinfônico e space rock próximo dos Canarios. Longos e viajantes solos instrumentais dominados por minimoog, mellotron e guitarra predominam, mostrando qualidade dos músicos, ainda ouvimos momentos de vocais em inglês.
Uma ótima surpresa que pode agradar tanto fãs de heavy psych/ prog setentista quanto prog sinfônico. Altamente recomendado!

The group Franklin was formed in Madrid, capital of Spain, in the late 60s by guitarist Pablo Weeber and Antonio García and had two distinct phases, the first from 1970 to 71, releasing two singles at time and disbanding in 72. Fortunately the following year Weeber reform the band, with full exchange of musicians, recording an LP in 1975, but by problems with the record company it didn't come out at the time. They definitely separated in 1976 and after 31 years all the material came back to life by Cocodrilo, with only 500 copies.
The collection Life Circle is divided into two distinct parts, the first phase in the early '70s, being the 1-6 tracks, mixing psych / prog with great hard rock guitar, organ and drums, typical of the time, with covers of "Satisfaction", "Border Song" and "Do not Let It Bring You Down". From the seventh song ("Beginning") the sound is very different, almost unrecognizable compared to the first part, bringing progressive symphonic close to Canarios. Long and spacey instrumental solos dominated by minimoog, mellotron and guitar, showing quality of the musicians, we still hear moments of vocals in English.
A great surprise that can please both fans of heavy psych / prog as symphonic prog. Highly recommended!
