Originally from Campinas, Sao Paulo (Brazil), this sixsome decided to enter a recording studio for the first time, and came up with something sounding really fantastic. The album is clearly derivative of Classic Progressive Rock icons (as well as current trends of the genre), and also blends in passages of a more Hard Rock inclination. Sung entirely in English.

Back in 1990, Espíritu's guitarist and composer recorded several Instrumental compositions on a cassette in a Fusion-infused style (which was typical of those times), including Pop basics, Latin Jazz arrangements, and hints of Progressive Rock. This should have been Osvaldo's first solo album, but he was never able to get it released. After several years, he recommenced the project and the tracks have been updated with the addition of new instrumentation and a modernized sound.

Since the mid-seventies and up to the mid-eighties, the once drummer of Peruvian outfit Pax, had started his quest to combine modern, avant-garde composition techniques together with the search for sounds of Mother Earth. What we get as an end product is a hypnotic-sounding sonic bridge between the ancient and the vanguard, the Psychedelic Rock spirit, Free Jazz and pure experimentation sonority.

Of an undeniably obvious Neo Progressive trend is the prevailing style of this trio's beginnings. Fobos shows strong influence affiliations towards bands like Marillion, Genesis and Pink Floyd in their songs (which by the way are all sung in Spanish). The album's sound production is firmly rooted in the typical sonic and tonal quality of late seventies' Prog and Symphonic Rock.

This is a late seventies recording made by the members of Alma y Vida, which at that stage presented a couple of changes in their original line-up. By then, they were decidedly tilted towards a more Jazz Rock inclination, with variations in their wide-ranged rhythm base (from Funk & Soul, to Latin touches). Most of the tracks on this CD are Instrumental, with a few Spanish-sung exceptions. The good news is that, in spite of the name change, it is still that same old magic and roots of the great, mythical Alma y Vida.

This personal project was created and undertaken by Darío Torcisi, who recorded his music on keyboards, MIDI programs and various percussive instruments. This is his very first Instrumental incursion into Melodic Progressive Rock territory, and features undeniable references to his past works with Mar aún. Without any doubt, this is a very typical album by a multi-instrumental type of musician.

An amazing apparition on the Argentine Prog Rock scene!!! This foursome hails originally from the Northern City of Tucuman. The quartet presents a labour crammed with dark and melancholically themed tracks, very much in the Radiohead (OK Computer), Porcupine Tree and Anekdoten vein. Featuring soaring songwriting qualities, excellent sound and English-sung lyrics, these lads will soon be the talk of the Progressive towns. Highly recommendable!!

Eloy's sixth solo recording in which he once again shows off all his instrumental wizardry. He played absolutely everything himself on this Electronic Suite, so abundant in Symphonic moods and dreamy atmospheres. The artist also happened to write every single note on this record. Hence, we could really define it as a truly complete fruit and labour of soloist accomplishment. Highly recommended for lovers of Vangelis and Kitaro.
