Colombian musician who resides in Argentina, and is linked to the Melodramatic Music movement. His style is very personal, dark, and of strange characteristics. Irving's voice and piano are accompanied by very good string arrangements. A rare combination of David Sylvian meets Leo Masliah.

Uruguayan quartet which has successfully treaded into Hard & Acid Psychedelia territory, with strong early seventies' influences. Entirely sung in Spanish, this CD is however not devoid of extended Instrumental passages, during which their highly-distorted guitars interact into a hypnotic trance. This edition comes in CD-r form.

Very interesting sonic proposal by this quartet comprised of young musicians, who have just released their first album. The combination of Progressive Fusion and Progressive Rock is the chosen genre for their debut recording. Constant rhythm changes and well-structured compositions abund in this production, which is mostly of an Instrumental orientation. We could consider Liquid Tension Experiment as the band's closest relative, at least from a strictly musical perspective.

Second solo outing by this great artist, who was wise enough to evolve in the structuring of his compositions, in order to not only blend Rock & Jazz, but also to weave Tango & Folk into his unique musical concoction. By doing so, he has managed to come up with a very Argentine-flavoured repertoire.

Ricardo Soule was a founding member of Vox Dei, and later embarked on a solo journey. Back in 1991 he recorded and launched this album in Spain, which consisted exclusively of a string section of instruments. During this record, Ricardo was able to review his classic compositions, albeit in a totally distinct departure from the original flavour.

The excellent keyboards player out of the Nexus camp has just released his first solo effort. Just as he has proven throughout his career with Nexus, he once again reaffirms his good taste and superlative compositional talents. The style and quality displayed on this disc cast our minds effortlessly back to the halcyon days of the band's debut album, "Detras del umbral".

Daddy Antogna (former drummer with Ave Rock) formed this outfit together with Alan Courtis (ex Reynolds), and members of Las orejas y la lengua.

Very first CD by this Symphonic Progressive Hard Rock quintet, which boasts amongst its major influences the likes of Rush (from a Classic Rock standpoint) and Threshold & Vanden plas (in a more Contemporary vein). The fivesome have very creatively injected touches of local indigenous sounds into the grooves, and come up with a very originally-sounding product in the process.

Pursuing ahead with their trademark of wild old west-themed music, blended with Psychedelic atmospheres and Kraut Rock undertones, the outfit's second album features the clever initiative of adding a female voice as backdrop to the male lead vocalist's output.
