The year 1977 was extremely prolific for Nebbia in terms of featuring in many different session recordings, as he contributed his talents to albums by various musical greats such as Rodolfo Alchourron, Dino Saluzzi, Manolo Juárez, Domingo Cura, Rodolfo Mederos, and others. As a direct consequence to so many hours of studio-generated material, theses songs were recorded in parallel to those sessions, and then featured in this work which was originally conceived as a double album, though finally released as two separate LPs.

This eightsome, which is led by Juan Belvis (son of Nono Belvis and Liliana Vitale), possesses the strong premise of transcending the limits of the Folk-rooted song format through academically-intended arrangements which veer between Jazz and Contemporary Music.

To describe the musical deformation that this band has produced in this their second album, is a highly complicated challenge. The group's music is complex, as it is sonically-speaking of an Electronic / Alternative Pop orientation, albeit also comprising crisscrossing rhythms and poly-rhythms, constant changes and arrangements linked to an academic level of Progressive Jazz and Rock component. We could associate these lads' sound to that of Muse. It is ultimately up to the listener to decide under which genre she or he would prefer to pigeonhole and typecast this extraordinary artistic work.

This is a Free Jazz trio formed by Frido Ter Beek (saxophones) Francisco Salgado (trombone) and Matías Coulasso (drums), who propose a somewhat particular aesthetic, as they seek their music to disassemble or decompose all of that which is composed, through the combination of the auditory ranges of Jazz, Rock and Experimental genres.

This sextet is formed by young musicians who have revived the Argentine Progressive Rock spirit of the 1970's, with plenty of optimism, swing and groove. Their sound harks back to that of La máquina de hacer pájaros, Luis A. Spinetta and Seru Giran.

A couple of years after their debut album, comes this outfit's second recorded effort in which they still keep afloat the Luis Alberto Spinetta influences they boasted on their first studio outing: The end-product is Art Rock par excellence; a current-sounding style in which the Symphonic arrangements and Jazz Rock passages connect the boys to their own roots.

Named the first Spanish endorser of the Hammond organ and Moog synthesizer, Mauri has positioned himself as one of Spain's most internationally-transcendent musicians in the Groove scene, whether within Blues, Funk, Jazz, or Soul. This is his second recorded output as a solo performer, and finds him on a similar soundscape path as to the one traveled by the Fernando Rusconi Hammond Trio.

José Luis "Sartén" Asaresi, musician and sound man, shared the Argentine eighties' music scene with some very important colleagues of the times. In 1987, together with Gustavo Donés and J. L. "Coyote" Damiani, he created this project which was recorded with the assistance of numerous guest musicians. Together they produced this, their only album, which was Fusion-orientated and based on typical period guitars experimenting with the multiple sonic processes of those heady days.

This bunch of musicians came together in the Argentine city of Santa Fé, playing a curious blend of Jamaican Rock Steady and Symphonic Rock. In this third CD the group takes a turn towards Melodic Symphonic type-of-songs with beautiful arrangements similar to those by Sein and La manzana cromática protoplasmática.

This mythical Progressive Rock threesome from Rosario (province of Santa Fé, Argentina), which possessed obvious Jazz, Psychedelia and Blues influences, stood out from the crowd because of their extraordinary horn arrangements. They released only one L.P., an emblematic vinyl which presented six compositions recorded across only two days, during March 24-25, 1976, a moment in time which coincided exactly with the civic-military coup d'etat which brought about seven tragic years of cruel dictatorship in Argentina. The album has been remastered for this CD release and features one bonus track and unknown photos.

Here is the debut album by this famous band led by Luis Alberto Spinetta, through which he commenced on a musical journey more in tune with Jazz Rock and certain aftertastes of Progressive Rock. This record was originally inspired by the works of renowned anthropologist Carlos Castaneda, which are related to shamanism.
