(Acid Psychedelic Folk) Pau Riba - Dioptria V 2.1 (Remastered reissue) - 1971 (2006), MP3, 320 kbps

2006 remastered reissue on the K Industria label. The previous edition, from 1993, saw the light of day through PDI-Edigsa. That one has already been posted here as well, but what I'm offering on this post is the remastered reissue in FLAC and MP3 (at 320 kbps) formats.
"Dioptria" is one of the cornerstones of catalan rock, or the catalan-sung rock: it is, quite probably, the first substantial album made in this dialect. Also, it is a timeless classic of spanish rock, and it is almost unanimously regarded as Riba's best work. A lot has been said about it, so there's little I can contribute. Anyway, this is what the artist has to say (translated as literally as possible by myself):
"Dioptria -a double album served in two phases- marks the start of my solo career, immediately agyer the breakup of Grup de Folk. It is, also, I think, the first rock album made in catalan and in Catalonia. Regarding its content, it is a ferocious criticism at the little burgeois spirit and the christian-progressive family, understood as the basic cell of the society. “Dioptria I” is critical towards the woman, while the second volume goes against the man, but not so much, probably because I am one, it's more folky. In 1978 Edigsa revisited and reissued Dioptria I and II on a double LP. It was also reissued in 1992, but in compact disc (PDI)."
On September 5th, 2006 (the same year that the K Industria label reissued this album), an event took place at the Auditori of Barcelona to pay tribute to Pau Riba and his magnum opus, under the "Dioptria V 2.1" motto. The tickets were sold out before the event took place; some of the most emblematic figures of the catalan music scene were present that night: Sisa, Jordi Sabatés (ex-member of OM, Riba's backing band during the recording of this album, ex-Jordi Sabatés I Toti Soler, ex-Jarka, and many others) and Llibert Fortuny, plus some lesser known artists, such as Oriol Tramvia and Marc Parrot. Some of the others present that night were french artist Pascal Comelade, a few veterans from the "Dioptria" days, and even some councilors of the catalan government . Oh, and Pau himself, who looked like he attended the event kinda obliged.On September 5th, 2006 (the same year that the K Industria label reissued this album), an event took place at the Auditori of Barcelona to pay tribute to Pau Riba and his magnum opus, under the "Dioptria V 2.1" motto.
