Almendra left its heavy footprint legacy, so that Rock music in Argentina could have its Experimental and Avant-Garde quota through the poetry of Luis Alberto Spinetta and the audacity of that legendary and mythical band, in order to lay the foundations for a new musical aesthetic and fusion that could only be carried forward by true pioneers and references who were in it for the long run. Short-lived, though intense (1968-1970), in 1979 Almendra came back and gifted us with a double live album, as well as a studio LP effort, culminating their story in the year 2009 with five songs played live-in-concert during the "Spinetta y sus bandas eternas" mega-show event, which remained as an everlasting worthy memory of those who boarded that train to the south.

During the mid-seventies, many Progressive / Symphonic bands started to appear in several Argentine provinces; some of them linked to an independent musical movement led by the legendary MIA. In the province of Mendoza, the iconic representative of the local pack was Altablanca, a group which enjoyed a trajectory of almost eight years amidst different line-ups. This great sonic rescue offered here proves beyond the shadow of any doubt just how talented these lads were, besides their very high musical quality, and shows the symbiosis they shared with the likes of MIA, Redd, Irreal, and Trigémino.

This record presents us with song-formatted type of compositions, featuring Progressive arrangements, and a very healthy dose of Argentine seventies Rock influences, albeit within a modern-sounding framework, potentiated by stick and wind instruments. The group's components have all enjoyed vast trajectories and originate from different musical branches, each one contributing his own colours, flavours and influences.

New Chilean Instrumental project led by guitarist Richard Pilnik (Entrance). The combo's concoction is orientated towards combining Symphonic elements, Fusion and Prog Metal, thus making the group's sound not too far off from that of bands such as Planet X. There is a very strong presence of guitars (a la Allan Holdsworth and Steve Vai) and absorbing keyboards.

Debut album by this Argentine duet comprised of Mariano Spadafora and Tomas Barrionuevo. We could categorize their beautiful and delicate melodies within the Post Rock movement, combined with the sounds of Symphonic Rock. Autumn Moonlight have been endowed with a very high level of compositional quality, and are sonically close to the main representatives of this particular style (Sigur Ros).

The musical growth experienced by Autumn Moonlight on this, their second album, is really impressive. The very detailed and elaborate work on the arrangements, and the combination of different sonorities, enrich the duet's compositions by mixing Post Rock together with Progressive and Symphonic Rock, while going through melancholic climaxes, furious guitar explosions, and orchestral keyboard arrangements during the whole process.

Ave Rock was one of the very first so-called Progressive Rock bands to emerge in Argentina during the early seventies. Their sound was full of rhythm changes, and boasted compositions abundant in vast melodic richness. The virtuosity displayed by the group's members was also of extremely high caliber.

Three years after they released their first album in 1974, Ave Rock returned in 1977 with a new line-up and launched "Espacios", the group's second L.P. Consisting of barely three tracks (two of them being of extra long duration), this record is much more Symphonic than its predecessor, and features many references towards the music of outfits such as Yes and Flash.

This was the third long-player by this Argentine Power Trio. On this occasion, they boasted a Black Sabbath-styled darker sound and influences. This record is most definitely harder than their previous album efforts, with a rather more densely-driven rhythm base and disturbing melodies within the Psychedelic Rock genre, and with emphatic Hard Blues accents.

Everybody knows César "Banana" Pueyrredón as one of the maximum exponents of the Argentine Pop song and romantic ballad. What the majority do not know, is the fact that between the years 1979 and 1980, César released two albums worth of net Symphonic Progressive style, which featured obvious influences from Yes, Genesis, Focus, and local outfit Crucis. This compilation presents the most representative compositions from that period in time.

Formed at the dawn of the seventies and possessors of a Hard Rock style in the Pescado Rabioso / Led Zeppelin tradition and vein, Barro Mental were never able to release an album back then. Now at long last the wait is over: after more than 40 years going by, the group has finally recorded its' music and made it publicly available! The Barro Mental lads were accompanied during these sessions by some of the musicians in Nexus.

This ensemble is commanded by Sergio Battesini, and is efficiently accompanied by former members of Kaizen, Bacamarte, and Aether. Sergio, who has enjoyed a vast trajectory in musical spheres, deepens his search within the boundaries of Instrumental Progressive Rock, and by doing so, gets a little closer in style and sound to Quaterna Requiem and Kaizen.
