Renewed airs of Neo-Psycho/Prog have cropped up as of late in Argentina, among which this Instrumental quartet really sticks out, as they combine elements of Psychedelic, Progressive and Stoner Rock, with a current sonority in close proximity to Math Rock.

In another 'turn of the screw' typical tradition that we have, as always, become accustomed to expecting from Pez, now their songs gradually revolve towards a collection of Psychedelically-driven Hard Rock compositions, albeit featuring a more polished sound, without so many distortions and space touches of the past.

This record totally vindicates, in many different ways, all the essence of Argentine Rock, by presenting songs which feature small influences by the principal references from this movement, which vary between Rock, Folk and Progressive Rock. Pez has now reverted back to a quartet formation, with the incorporation of Juan Ravioli on keyboards.

This production wanders through ten songs of different musical intentions. All these dissimilar facets have been contributed by the band themselves across their varied albums: cuts that express fury or calm, Rock or Folk, Psychedelia, or Space Rock, though exacerbating their lyrics based on social content.

Debut album from |Habitat|'s guitarist, comprising 20 short compositions of great beauty and devoid of any virtuoso pretentions. His delicate Instrumental music has a certain reminiscence of the Classical side of Steve Hackett and Anthony Phillips, with plenty of pastoral and medieval passages.

Aldo's second solo effort consists of a selection of shortly-timed compositions, very much in Classical and Medieval trends, and featuring not too dissimilar characteristics to the works of the great Anthony Phillips.

Without wavering a smidgeon from the trademark sound and themes of his first two albums, this third studio effort finds Aldo in the same familiar territory as those works, albeit even more melodic, delicate, varied, and appealing than his predecessing recordings. This CD is mostly Instrumental, and also features a couple of songs in Spanish.

The launch of Aldo's fourth record marks a huge difference with his previous three albums. Consisting of darker themes and more intricate compositions, Pinelli explores other sounds within his melodic structures.

This quintet is based in the city of Buenos Aires, and is fully dedicated to writing, as well as playing, their own music, by creatively dabbling into Chamber Song territory format, and very cleverly incorporating elements of Latin American Music, Academic Music, Progressive Rock, Jazz, and Improvisation, to name a few.

Amidst great conceptual changes and noteworthy signs of maturity growth, the band now releases its second studio effort. Spanish vocals have now been added to the mix, as well as different kinds of rhythm bases (which are very infrequently used within the Post Rock movement), such as Trip Hop, or those more sonically-related to the realm of Electronic Music.

Here are the very first works by this Pop Rock quintet, which feature arrangements and a kind of sonority normally associated with the ranks of Progressive Rock, always within the peripheral edges of this genre.

Their second album incorporates more Symphonic Rock elements in terms of arrangements and climaxes, but their rhythm base is more oriented towards Pop Rock. Together with Sambara, Sein and Dostretres, they share similar characteristics which borderline Progressive territory.

Back to their origins, the group's third recorded outing is a clear nod to their initial raw sound of merging Stoner Rock and Progressive Hard Rock, together with subtle and intricate weavings of Spatial sounds. Great edition in a digi-pak format presentation.

Originating from the Stoner Rock movement (which relates them to Los Natas), this Instrumental quartet has released its first Conceptual album which features a somewhat more Progressive than Psychedelic tendency; specially noticeable in the way the two guitars effortlessly intermingle with each other, while creating dark and sinister moods, and dense atmospheres.

It is absolutely and utterly impossible to establish a definitely marked style direction in this outfit's fourth album, as they combine a concoction of Psychedelic Hard Rock, Progressive Rock, Stoner Rock, and Post Rock, together with a current-sounding brand of Rock. All these mixtures contribute to consolidating the possession of a well-structured sonic proposal.
