This is a late seventies recording made by the members of Alma y Vida, which at that stage presented a couple of changes in their original line-up. By then, they were decidedly tilted towards a more Jazz Rock inclination, with variations in their wide-ranged rhythm base (from Funk & Soul, to Latin touches). Most of the tracks on this CD are Instrumental, with a few Spanish-sung exceptions.

Brilliant debut by this project which includes numerous renowned musicians. A Concept piece very much in the Ayreon/Arena line, featuring the accompaniment of Chamber instruments, certain Gothic passages (Pär Lindh) and delightful moments of acoustic guitars and pianos. All the vocal parts on the album are sung in English.

Extraordinary debut by this young Instrumental band, who have been successful at fusing several different influences ranging from the complexities of Progressive Rock in their Crimsonian guitars, the raw power of Stoner Rock, a kind of Psychedelic tinge, experimentation close to the sounds of the Avant Garde, and all the delicacy of Post Rock. Originality and audacity in the new scene of Argentine Progressive Rock !!!

Re-release of the second album by one of the very first German Dark bands. Just like the highly revered Lacrimosa, they blend melancholy, romanticism and darkness amidst beautiful piano playing, combined with female vocals. The end-product of this record is that of a sophisticated and different sound altogether.

After enduring several line-up changes and searching for a new style, Tanger finally reaches its third studio album. The end-product is an even more raw sound and featuring an urban-dominated feel (which identifies the outfit with the music of the city of Buenos Aires), blended together with a Jazzy flavour. However, the group doesn't ever stray at all from the Progressive Rock path that they are mostly associated with.

At the dawning of the seventies was when this band started performing live in concert. The outfit featured some very rare particularities: twin lead guitars, permanent presence of a violin throughout all of their songs, almost handled as a lead instrument; and excellent vocal arrangements. They mixed Psychedelia, Prog Rock, and Classical Music very successfully, and were finally able to boast this unusual yet inspired concoction on this, their only album, which was recorded during the latter stages of 1972. The record didn't actually see the light of day until 1974. This CD has been remastered from the original master tapes.

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.

In this, his third studio-recorded album, Sergio Alvarez initiates a musical search that takes him far beyond his own style and genre. Still, he is able to retain his personal touch in this whole group of songs, and weave a little more melodic themes than in his previous efforts. Bombastic Symphonic Rock at its best, with impeccable execution.

Extraordinary inaugural work by this new Brazilian outfit. The band has heavy influences of Progressive Hard Rock, pretty close to the tones of The Gathering and Nightwish, and cocktailed with more Symphonic tendencies such as Tempus Fugit and Arion.

Band founded by one of the main icons and pioneers of Argentine Rock: Pajarito Zaguri (former member of Los Beatniks and La Barra de Chocolate), whom in the company of guitarist extraordinaire Nacho Smilari, bassist Willy Pedemonte and Carlos Calabro on drums, had an unfortunately short-lived career which resulted in this, their sole recorded effort; a marvellous concoction of Psychedelia, Hard Rock and Blues, often compared to Manal, La Pesada and Montes. 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.

This album was recorded together with guitarist and bassist Daniel Homer, while Mirtha Defilpo took responsibility of almost all the lyrics and some vocal parts too. This is a record comprising very personal songs of a certain melancholic touch, and under the obvious influences of Brazilian sounds and rhythms. The project came together during a prolonged period of several months of rest, which the trio had taken in order to re-think its future and next studio output. This new edition includes four bonus tracks culled from the soundtrack to the Argentine cult movie "Bobeta, ilusion y despertar".

Quaker is a new and young band originating from the City of La Plata (capital of the province of Buenos Aires, Argentina). The lads decided to form a group under the influence of their own personal musical tastes. Following the footsteps of bands such as Tryo & 3/4 de trio, their attempt is to evolve, through their own vision, the Progressive style inaugurated by King Crimson. This mission is further enhanced by combining such genre with elements of Fusion, thus attaining a sophisticated, instrumental progressive recipe, with nice touches of improvisation, which derive into a very personal sounding recipe.
