A classic record, which finally enjoys its long delayed release, a launch that has been hungrily awaited by the legions of Argentine Rock collectionists the world over.

With a brand new line-up, Redd commenced the recording of their second studio album with members of Trigémino (Juan “Pollo” Raffo and Marco Tulio Pusineri), thus providing their music with a new Progressive Rock / Symphonic overtone. This album, recorded all the way back in 1979, was never released on vinyl at the time; it was only rescued several years later as a CD release. This new reissue, remastered by Esteban Cerioni shortly before his departure, also contains a previously unreleased Instrumental cut, that could have been included in the original LP, together with three other previously unavailable live tracks.

This album compiles unreleased music by the bands La Pequeña Banda De Tricupa, La Piedra, Redd, Vassa and Trigémino. Back in 1982, bass player Esteban Cerioni decided to record these songs belonging to the bands he had been a member of, together with a bunch of renowned players of those times. Due to diverse reasons, these tracks remained unknown until now and, as time went by, they became almost forgotten. Oh, by the way, the fellows playing on the Trigémino cuts are the group's original lineup.

This keyboardist and composer introduces us to his brand new Conceptual production which loans references from Classic and Electronic Music, and transfers them towards a more Hard Progressive and Symphonic Rock-leaning sound. The result produces common sonic denominators with the likes of Erik Norlander and The Dream Theater. This, Fernando's second album, features several guest musicians' contributions.

The trumpeter, percussionist and composer Richard Nant summons his colleague friends in order to recreate a Jazz and Fusion record, with an obvious Argentine accent, and which harks back to that most contradictory of decades, yet so rich in musical creations, that was the seventies. He invokes two fundamental features of those years: liberty in its forms and the groove.

When everything was nothing, nothing was the beginning, but the history of "Rock de acá" is not born out of nothing; it exists thanks to Jazz, Blues and Rock & Roll, and it would not be the same without local Tango and Folk. This story begins long before "La Balsa", as part of a new generation of inspired young people born in the 1940's, who were connected with the international cultural and political movements of those times, and who helped to mold and change the way of Argentine people's thinking in general. Between 1992 and 2015, Ezequiel Abalos interviewed the pioneers of "Rock de acá", in order to unravel the true origins of Rock in Argentina. With Miguel Grinberg's prelude, this expanded reprint includes a CD with all of the book's interviews conducted with forty musicians and producers who were there.

After many years of attempting to solidify his project, the talented flutist and composer Ricardo Luna was at long last able to form and consolidate his own band and record this heavily Classically-influenced Symphonic Rock debut album. The predominance of Ricardo's attractive flute during the whole recording, sets the pace and direction for all his songs. There is a certain stylistic proximity to Kollar Attila (from Solaris), and reminiscenses of Focus and Camel. This launch also includes two bonus tracks, which happen to be cover versions in the shape of a fitting musical tribute to the latter British Prog Rock group.

Together with his band, Generacion Cero, Rodolfo Mederos released two LP's in the mid-seventies. This here is the second of the albums in question, and is widely considered to be one of the best and most successful combinations of Avant Tango and Progressive Rock in history. These recordings feature nice touches of Jazz, as well as clever incursions into Psychedelic territory. This is a purely Instrumental collection, which boasts Rodolfo's virtuous bandoneon playing and the outfit's beautiful and melanchollically atmospheric passages. Outstanding and legendary stuff!

Rodolfo Mederos, along with Generación Cero, released two LP's in the mid-70's. They began with an unusual formation of three bandoneons (a large accordion), bass and drums, to which the wind instruments of Arturo Schenider were added. Recorded in 1973, this album wasn't released till a whole three years later. This is a brilliant artistic effort that combined Avant-Tango with elements of Jazz and Psychedelic Beat, and was described at the time as Music with its' own Buenos Aires-flavoured identity.
