From the Melody Maker, The Wire, Spin, and Rolling Stone columns, as well as in all the books that he published, Simon Reynolds set himself to deconstruct Pop Music's discourse by submitting it to an ideological dissection, which had nevertheless not impeded him from abandoning his mundane pleasures. The language suspension of Noise, the oceanic-mystic regressions of Acid Rock, the preponderance of the timbre/chromatism/texture triad over and above the melody and the message in Post-Rock and Electronic Music, represent a Psychedelic continuum which traverses the history of Pop Music.

The publication in 1957 of his classic book "On The Road" provided Jack Kerouac with a sudden fame, the administration of which would keep him busily occupied almost until his demise. A collateral effect of this vivid renown were the assignments he received from different magazines. The majority of the articles, essays and brief works of fiction included in this book, were originally published in magazines such as Esquire, Playboy, Evergreen Review, or Escapade.

Luis Alberto Spinetta was much more than a Rock musician. It is very difficult to find negative commentaries or criticisms in reference to him as a person or his work, and he always obtained an enormous respect from the public, the press and his artistic peers, as if he were a special, almost sacred being. For many, he set some very high standards, in terms of the impeccably and professionally ethical ways in which he conducted himself as regards to all aspects of his personal life. This book on one hand maintains that Spinetta has been transformed into a mythical character by his very own audience. On the other hand, that part of the secret of his unique poetry and what it generates to us all lies in the construction -whether intentional or not- of a particular mythology that addresses existential questions and attempts to appease the real anguish generated by the separation between man and the cosmos.

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.

This threesome originally hails from the province of Tucumán (northern region of Argentina) and has just released their second album, a concept piece divided into three different trilogies. Self-defined as "Abstract Rock", they privilege cerebral and dreamily-minded dark climaxes, combining Atmospheric Progressive Rock together with touches of Fusion and outbreaks of Post Metal / Grunge. The resulting sound is that of a transition between Porcupine Tree, Tool and Luis Alberto Spinetta. This very special edition includes a mini-book.

This represents a reflexive approach to the history and present of Jazz in Argentina, through interviews held with musicians of different walks of life, generations and styles. The book tackles discussions that link popular music with processes of social significance, miscegenation and identity, without getting round to the recent debates held concerning local "Afro" culture and the spot it occupies in the so-called Black Atlantic.
