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.

(2007) - Radiaciones armónicas
CD - Digi-pack
Emilio Haro is a musician and producer who made his very first album exploring different acoustic tinges, beyond the conventional song format. By incorporating an abundant quantity of instruments and elements, he has been able to reproduce the sonic ambientation of everyday life's hustle and bustle. His extremely atmospheric music transports us through a sensorial journey of discovery, if you will.

Formed by two ex-components of Telegraph Avenue together with two Argentine musicians, this Peru-based foursome recorded this, their one and only album. The genre is eminently Heavy Rock, with influences ranging between Black Sabbath, Almendra, and Pappo's Blues. Sung in Spanish, and a little bit close to the sound of Miguel Abuelo.

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.

One of the most important bands to have ever surfaced from the rich Peruvian 60's & 70's scene. "Virgin" was the group's second effort, and it features a 100% of self-penned compositions. Traffic Sound's material fused Psychedelic Rock with Latin elements, and many Acoustic songs sung in English. The chaps were obviously under the influence of celebrated performers such as: The Animals, Iron Butterfly, Jimi Hendrix, The Kinks, Pink Floyd, and several other of their famed contemporaries.

Stylistically related to works by Interama and Hamacas al Rio. This quintet unveiled this, their first recorded outing, which is crammed with Psychedelic Pop dreamy melodies, vocals in Spanish, and submerged in profound and deep hypnotic, ear-boggling ambientations.

CD
Psychedelic ensemble which fuses Kraut Rock atmospheres (such as Can) together with classic Spaghetti Western melodies (a la Ennio Morricone). It is all done through a very current context in mind, similar to the Post Rock reverberations of Sigur Ros, complete with all the melancholic moods of the genre. All tracks are sung in Spanish.

Former bass guitarist with Sui Generis, Alejandro decided to re-release this collection of tracks written and cut during the mid-seventies. His style has a very personal Folk Rock flavour and is not too dissimilar to the sounds of his former bandmates, and to the produce of equally legendary fellow-Argentines, Vivencia.

This second studio effort confirms that the group has really defined the course of its own genre search, and has also achieved considerable fine-tuning in the vocal and musical departments. Another delicate and pleasant album to listen to, and very current in its flavour.
