Pedro y Pablo burst onto the Argentine Rock scene right at its genesis, contributing a disruptive look at Argentines’ daily lives, with "La marcha de la bronca", a song that marked the course of their extensive career. Miguel Cantilo’s sharp pen and Jorge Durietz’ harmonious presence were the ideal counterpoint with which they established an iconic acoustic and visceral sound that defined their first album in 1970.

With a prelude by Miguel Grimberg, this initiatory book tells the history of music on this continent, beginning with the African slaves’ arrival in 1500, their syncretism with European and native cultures, all the way until the first formative years of Argentine Rock, offering the necessary information to motivate the reading of the "Rock de Acá" Book Collection.

This seminal, historical band, which hailed from the Argentine Province of Tucumán, were heavily (no pun intended) enrolled in Hard Rock and Heavy Metal. Formed in 1982 and dissolved in 1987, the group decided to make a return in 2018 with this CD, which reconstructs their original songs from the eighties, and with all of that same early power and strength that they were renowned for. At times, they sound a little similar to El Reloj.

Featuring significant changes with respect to his debut album, Volvox attempts to embark on a brand new path, by combining Symphonic Progressive Rock together with Hard Rock undertones. In this work, though his music may be a bit more Melodic than usual, at the same time it's far more Complex & Dark in certain passages. Sometimes sonically-affiliated to the likes of Láquesis, then at other moments featuring climactic overtones in the Autumn Moonlight tradition, as well as Classic style incursions, such as Dánae.

This legendary Drummer from the Argentine Jazz scene, is deservedly honoured with this brilliant CD, which not only reflects his huge musical legacy, but also presents terrifically efficient Guest Musicians' accompanying performances, such as Litto Nebbia, Baby Lopez Furst, Enrique "Mono" Villegas, and Gato Barbieri. Astarita also formed part of groups such as Buenos Aires Jazz Fusion, among several others.

It is already almost forty years since the band's extraordinary debut, "Anabelas." Its' creator, Daniel Andreoli, restructured the band together with young musicians, who accompany him in this new rebirth of Bubu. By maintaining all the group's initial essence intact, we are now all over again amazed with this novel work of Avant-Prog. Progressive Rock at its' best, intertwined with appealing nods to Neo-Classical undertones.

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.

This, their second album, contains a series of heterogeneous songs of Experimental characteristics, which are beautifully accompanied and woven together by a sonority made with actually very little instrumentation. Somewhat related in a way to a Brief Development sort of Progressive Rock sub-genre, and infused with subtle tinges of Argentine Folk. This edition includes a book with drawings and texts.

The music of this group from Barcelona (Spain) has gained nuances on their second album, drifting smoothly from Dark Dream-Pop and New-Wave passages (which remind us of Dead Can Dance) to gloomy Post-Punk atmospheres similar to those of Crispy Ambulance, Durruti Column or In Camera.

Under a very detailed compendium of chapters wrapped-up in many reflections and interviews, there is an evident effort in this book to understand these practices, speeches and sensitivities, by actually discussing them. In these necessary and essential pages, the gathering effects of the melancholic and sonorous sounds of the bellows, together with the Marshall Speakers' distortions, the other-worldly vocals of Luis Alberto Spinetta, the wine-flavoured voice of Roberto Goyeneche, the slap by Charles Baudelaire, lyrics that both denounce and help to fall in love, are all swirling in an endless, yet delightfully literary effect. In short, the whole traditional urban district with all its' typical successes, errors and contradictions. New extended edition.

In order to compile the story of a band, there is nothing better than telling it through the narration of its' protagonists; especially if that band is Vox Dei, who, right from their inception, made it very clear that they were coming to make history in the Argentine Rock Music scene. Thanks to the outfit's first album, "Caliente", and the conceptual work based on the Bible, "La Biblia según Vox Dei", the band helped Argentine Rock gain universal membership, appeal and credibility. As Rock and Blues cultists, they created true Rock Anthems, which today are worshiped and re-covered by the new generations.

This business of Post-War European and American societies is not only a behind-the-scenes backdrop, but the very principle that articulates the attempt to understand a broad and flexible set of musical manifestations, that would contribute to the metamorphosis of Pop (Rock?), which already accumulates six decades of accelerated evolution. From Doo Woop and the Fast Song to Krautrock and Swedish Prog, from Czechoslovakian Underground to Argentine Rock, from the European Free Jazz Improvisation to Post Industrial, from the British Counterculture to German Electronics, this compilation aims to trace a modest fresco -made of partial revelations of ephemeral triumphs and legendary failures-.

Also, a couple of bonus, additional tracks were thrown in for good measure.

This, the third album recorded by La Barca represents a conceptually-elaborate piece of work that recounts the darkest years of Argentine History: The arrival of the Military Dictatorship in 1976, the subsequent repression, the Disappeared, the Falklands War, and finally, the return of a full-fledged democratic state, in late 1983.

Very first phonographic experience by this young foursome, which has timely arrived on the scene to claim as their own, the continuing traditions of Jazz Fusion and Argentine Jazz, albeit with their own sound and a lot of originality in their compositions, through a basic group formation of bass, drums, and two guitarists who "dialogue" with each other, as they exchange musical notes. Similar to the works of Darío Íscaro and Antihéroe.

José María Blanc attempts to keep the flame alive for the Symphonic Progressive Rock myth, Pablo el Enterrador, by maintaining the particular style and sound of this legendary Argentine band, which originally hailed from the city of Rosario, province of Santa Fé. José María very successfully perpetuates the mythological band's classic essence, though in the company of new, fresh, accompanying musicians, and together with the very special participation of Guest Musician, Marcelo Sali.

Right after Almendra split in 1970, Luis Alberto Spinetta recorded songs for what would be: "Spinettalandia y sus amigos" and then ravels to Europe. On his return, he founded Pescado Rabioso and under that name, three albums were released: "Desatormentándonos", "Pescado 2" and "Artaud". In 1974, he formed Invisible and recorded three albums: "Invisible", "Durazno Sangrando" and "El jardín de los presentes." After recording "A 18' del sol" as a soloist and "Only Love Can Sustain" (in English in the US - also going solo), he successfully brought Almendra back together again in 1979, and in 1980, he formed Spinetta Jade. Credulity encompassed the prolific seventies' phase of this musician, poet, and artist, who with his talent and genius, gave credibility to Rock from here.

Double album of the project Sanguinetti plays Radiohead: Sanguinetti / Migma / Babjaczuk / Butelman / L'Argentiere. This quintet (piano, DJ, drums, guitar, and voice) develops extremely personalized and warm versions, albeit with a rather obvious Argentine accent. Every single one of the albums released by the British band are well-represented on all 16 tracks contained in this double CD album.
